Political Nesting Dolls: Tzipi Livni the Politician Launches Tzipi Livni the Movement
Latest update: November 28th, 2012
Politicians are by nature narcissistic creatures, but it is possible that former Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni will come down in history as the narcissist's narcissist. This afternoon she announced the launching of her new party, to be named: The Movement under the Leadership of Tzipi Livini. And if you figured that it only sounds this bad in English, trust me, it sounds just as bizarre in Hebrew.
Tzipi Livni, chairwoman of the movement led by Tzipi Livni, with her dark blonde Prince Valiant, obviously after a good, pre-run diet to trim that zaftig post-defeat figure, told a room packed with her supporters (a huge no-no in Israeli politics, you don't bring your fans to a press conference – as one Israeli reporter made sure to protest loudly during the live broadcast) that she had spotted a vacuum at the center of Israel's political map, a vacuum created largely by the colossal failure of her own party – and that she was determined to go after those low hanging fruits of Israel's mythical, undecided centrists.
The press conference and the announcement against a backdrop of campaign posters that bore her name, marked a kind of last stand for a leader whose career was always hers to lose. Like Dan Meridor and Benny Begin, Livni is member of the Likud royalty, a princess among princes, daughter of Eitan Livni, the chief of staff of the Irgun, Livni picked up her engraved invitation when she was appointed by Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 1996 to manage the privatization of government-owned companies. In 1999 she made it, after one failed attempt, into the Knesset, and shortly thereafter was picked up by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to serve in his government. She followed Sharon out of the Likud and into Kadima, all the time serving in a variety of ministerial positions, including a stint as Foreign Minister for Sharon's successor Ehud Olmert.
Then, in 2009, after Olmert was forced to resign following corruption charges, Livni led theKadima party to victory in the polls. She beat Netanyahu's Likud party by one vote, 28 to 27. But Tzipi Livni who had made a superb second and third in command for three masters, was unable to apply the lessons she had learned and ended up being outmaneuvered by the wilier and more experienced Netanyahu, earning the dubious record of being the only party leader who won the numeric vote and didn't get to form the coalition government.
This afternoon, a reporter hammered that point in with the kind of cruelty one expects of the Israeli press: With all due respect, she asked the candidate, the voter has already given you a mandate four years ago, and you dropped the ball. Why should anyone choose you again?
Livni, who had clearly been practicing for just this kind of an in-your-face dig, was nevertheless shaken by it. She answered that she had lost her first chance because she stuck by her values, and preferred to sit out the term on the opposition benches rather than lower her standards.
Ah, well, that's encouraging.
With the date for submitting the final party lists approaching (next week), Livni received a generous prediction in one of this morning's polls – 9 seats. But does she even have nine potential seat-worthy candidates, or is she going to follow the example another narcissist, Yair Lapid, and appoint her hairdresser, gardener and trainer?
It was a disheartening press conference of a political hack well past her prime who believes she has any credit left with the voters. From what we've seen this week at the Likud primaries, the Israeli voter has no problem dropping his leaders when they've disappointed him – and Tzipi Livni is one big, self inflated disappointment.Yori Yanover

"she had spotted a vacuum at the center of Israel's political map, a vacuum created largely by … her own party" definitely describes her party's Movement as being peristaltic.
At last we have a party that promises relief. Your party, Tzipi, already has claimed one room in the Knesset and should remain rested there.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a prescription alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (conjugated estrogens, medroxyprogesterone, etc.). Bioidentical medications are plant-derived, and chemically changed in a laboratory until they are identical to what your body would naturally produce. BHRT is customized for each individual and their personal needs. It can be adjusted to fit your needs, unlike conventional HRT, which has a few standard dosage strengths.
- What are the goals of BHRT?
Help to alleviate symptoms caused by the natural decrease in hormone production in the body. Work towards reestablishing the individual's hormonal balance.
- How do I know if I need BHRT?
Typical symptoms for females include weight gain, bouts of depression, mood swings, osteopenia or osteoarthritis, poor libido, decreased energy. For men symptoms are decreased strength/energy, decreased muscle mass, poor libido, weight gain.
- What is the process to start treatment?
You will complete a detailed health history and questionnaire, then have a series of lab work drawn at a local lab. We will then schedule a consultation with you about your results and discuss treatment options.
- What is the cost?
- For females, the cost is $350 per pellet insertion session. Most females will need about 4 sessions per year.
- For males, the cost is $675 per pellet insertion session. Most males will need 2 sessions per year. Consultations are included with the cost of the pellets.
- We do not bill any services to your insurance company but will be glad to assist you
- What about costs for the labs?
You can go to any laboratory to have your blood drawn. Sometimes these labs can be billed to your insurance company. Please contact your insurance company to see what may be covered. We have arranged special pricing for our patients with Lab Corp for those with high deductibles or no insurance. Out of pocket costs for one lab draw is $150.
- How are the pellets administered?
A small incision will be made at the upper part of your hip after a local anesthetic has been given. A trochar will be placed in the incision into the fatty tissue. This device will allow pellets to be placed in the subcutaneous tissue where they will be gradually absorbed by your body over several months. A small dressing will be applied after the trochar is removed.
- Are there any restrictions?
You will need to avoid any heavy lifting or soaking in a bath tub/swimming pool for at least 5 days after the procedure. After that you can resume any activities you like.

Skip to comments.World's first GM babies born
Posted on 06/28/2012 3:02:56 PM PDT by opentalk
The world's first genetically modified humans have been created, it was revealed last night.
The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics.
So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three 'parents'.
Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey.
The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes from a female donor were inserted into their eggs before they were fertilised in an attempt to enable them to conceive.
Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year-old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults --two women and one man.
The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated them into their 'germline' means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them on to their own offspring.
Altering the human germline -in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our species -is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world's scientists.

Grave new world.
One researcher says the kids have high iq's
So Barry's "marriage equality" for bisexuals becomes a reality - 3 parents! Oh wait, it is evidence of polygamy?
Okay, where did they put the OnStar button?
it's no picnic being a Catholic these days, thanks to "Catholics."
Dr. Ian Malcolm from "Jurassic Park".
The lack of ethics here leaves me at a loss for words.
well i'd call them frankenkids but it's not their fault.
natural processes can and do insert stuff into the gonadal DNA, what they're calling the germline. for example, viruses can do this. but it's the first humanly purposed such insertion. pandora's box has flipped wide open.
Philosophical / theological points to ponder:
If they can do this (and it seems that they did), if non-human genes are spliced to create viable embryos, would these human / non-human hybrids have souls?
We already know insulin is produced by bacteria which have human genes spliced into them...
Man, am I loving the future.
gays and lesbians will eat this up.
Reading this news, after everything else has happened today....I do believe I've lived too long...May God help us!!
Is there a people shortage I don't know about? Those who make people should be made to sit in some of our lovely traffic jams.
Agree, this is creepy
Village of the Damned was on this morning.
"gays and lesbians will eat this up."
You heard the one about the gay who was fired from the IVF clinic?
He was caught drinking on the job.
Did they name one of them Flinx?
I would have thought this type of human experimentation is already illegal. If not, we need to pass a law. Humans are not tinker toys to be played with by jerks in lab coats.
Mitrochondrial defects, as birth defects, are very rare in people because they are so often fatal even before birth. This technique, of adding mitrochondria, increases the risk of these serious and generally fatal disorders.
There is also the massive legal liability, since couples coming in for designer babies are even more likely to sue for millions for a child born with any defect.
Frighteningly, I dont think this is a lack of thought about ethics. I think they knew exactly what they were doing, and even that it is a "good idea".
My kid was fertilized in vitro, and had a few genes from
a famous porn star inserted, so he will have a rather large
So, apparently, they have mitochondria from one woman and the nuclear DNA from another woman. The children are not genetically modified.
I really don't have a problem with that.
I have a problem with going to great lengths to get women to conceive. If a couple can't conceive naturally, that means there is something wrong... by enabling them to bear children anyway, that means there is a good chance of passing that defect along, when it would naturally be eliminated. I don't think it will take many generations for medical intervention to be necessary for a significant proportion of the population to reproduce... is that really a desirable outcome?
> "the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three 'parents'."
Half man, half bear, and half pig.
Genetic fingerprint tests on two one-year- old children confirm that they have inherited DNA from three adults --two women and one man.
The fact that the children have inherited the extra genes and incorporated them into their 'germline' means that they will, in turn, be able to pass them on to their own offspring.
Altering the human germline - in effect tinkering with the very make-up of our species - is a technique shunned by the vast majority of the world's scientists.
Geneticists fear that one day this method could be used to create new races of humans with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high intelligence.
Very disturbing. This is completely altering God's plan and natural design of the human race. This is the problem with IVF. First they start creating human beings in labs, and they dispose of "extra" or "imperfect" created human beings. They then design human beings with ideal characteristics with people picking sperm and egg donors and scientists selecting the "best" embryos of the created bunch. At some point, I'm sure they'll be able to determine which embryos have certain mental and physical charateristics. Now they've gotten to the point where they are creating human beings with three parents. The homosexual community will love this by the way because it enables them to have their own biological children. As you read, a further step is to "create new races of humans with extra, desired characteristics such as strength or high intelligence."
Writing in the journal Human Reproduction, the researchers, led by fertility pioneer Professor Jacques Cohen, say that this 'is the first case of human germline genetic modification resulting in normal healthy children'.
How many times has this occured that hasn't resulted in "normal healthy children?"
Some experts severely criticised the experiments. Lord Winston, of the Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: 'Regarding the treat-ment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth doing . . . I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would certainly not be allowed in Britain.'
You know it's bad when this is not permitted in liberal Britain. The United States is going to have to answer to God for this disrespect of human life. We have the most liberal abortion laws in the world, allow sex selective IVF and abortion, and now are creating children with THREE parents. The slope just keeps on sliding. Never underestimate the depths to which they will sink.

Um, these children have the genetic fingerprint of THREE parents - they most certainly ARE genetically modified. And you don't have a problem with that???? Are you joking?
I thinking of the scariest parts of the Holy Bible.....
I had a similar initial reaction - What's new? Babies have been getting conceived in the back seats of Chevys for decades.
Check the website......I don't think they're Catholic
Eugenics Wars anyone? Khan!!!!!!
st barnabas? i gather they were once. cino now.
This makes it sound like there were other babies born that were not healthy.
Located in Livingston, Saint Barnabas Medical Center is New Jersey's oldest and largest nonprofit, non-sectarian hospital. An award-winning Medical Center, Saint Barnabas is one of the busiest in the state with more than 84,000 Emergency Department visits and more than 35,000 inpatients. The Medical Center was ranked by US News and World Report as one of the Top 50...
This is a heinous and evil act. Absolutely, uncontrovertibly wrong, gravely sinful.
but no discussion of medicine would be complete without the opinions of Dr. Bogus.
" no discussion of medicine would be complete without the opinions of Dr. Bogus."
Wow! There are so many. many angles to peruse regarding this. I certainly question the ethics, from scientific, religious, and various other viewpoints, but,,,, But I cannot disregard how overjoyed these barren couples must be to be able to have children. I would think the chances are overwhelmingly on the side of them being very good parents for their "gift" of a child. Tough question! Besides, I'm a Meta-Proctologist, so what do I know!
And his name shall be John Holmes the 2nd, and he'll give new meaning to "five-dollar foot-long."
I can see many Massachusetts liberal leftist baseball fans paying millions to have a few genes from David Ortiz inserted into their wives' wombs?
Makes anyone want to puke.

Idaho industry introduces tax relief plan
The Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry told a House panel its $120 million proposal to eliminate the state's business personal property tax by 2020 will protect local governments' funding while stimulating the economy.
The measure was introduced Friday morning in the House Revenue and Taxation Committee.
It has Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's backing.
This introduction comes a day after the Idaho Association of Counties unveiled a competing bill that would cost the state $20 million but still eliminate the tax for most small businesses.
Both measures are now due a full hearing Tuesday, though the committee won't vote the same day.
Not everybody voted to introduce IACI's bill.
Rep. JoAn Wood of Rigby fears Idaho's economy is still too fragile to commit to chipping $120 million into tax relief.

November 1998
Cruel Yet Fair
In The Vernacular
MAYA Recordings
During the '90s, Vancover has had one of the most vital local scenes on the planet. Vancouver musicians have been an integral part of the artistic success of the du Maurier International Jazz Festival Vancouver. In turn, they have benefitted both fron the collaborations with musicians from the United States and Europe afforded them by the mix-and-match programming of artistic director Ken Pickering, and from a level of exposure in the international press that eludes 99.9% of "local musicians." this is not to suggest, however, that they would not have made similar progress had they relocated to New York or Europe. As these discs convey, their is a remarkable concentration of world-class creative musicianship in Vancouver.
Trumpeter/composer John Korsrud's Hard Rubber Orchestra is a juggernaut. On Cruel Yet Fair, the 22-piece esnsemble rips through Korsrud's erudite compositions, kicking up a dust storm of ideas that linger long after the disc is over. As a composer, Korsrud gives minimalism's interlocking figures and repeating motives big band brawn and palpable propulsion, while grafting material from funk, Latin, and rock sources. He makes very arcane concepts swing hard. While he is a gifted trumpeter, Korsrud is, more importantly, a generous leader, who hands the bulk of the solo space to colleagues spanning the Vancouver spectrum, from hard-hitting jazzers like trumpeter Brad Turner and baritone saxophonist Daniel Kane, to NOW Orchestra-affiliated improvisers like soprano saxophonist Graham Ord and guitarist Ron Samworth. Incredibly, Cruel Yet Fair is Hard Rubber Orchestra's first recording; there hasn't been as impressive a debut by a composer and his orchestra in years.
Clarinetist Francois Houle's In the Vernacular is an incisive exploration of the music of composer clarinetist John Carter. Leading a stellar quintet with trumpeter Dave Douglas, bassist Mark Dresser, cellist Peggy Lee and drummer Dylan van der Schyff (one or both of the latter two are inevitably at the crux of the most interesting Vancouver units; their engaging duo disc, These Are Our Shoes, is newly issued on the Ontario-based Spool label), Houle takes such demanding pieces as the exhilarating "Sticks and Stones" head-on, while boldly transforming others; the evocative "Karen on Monday" is recast as a moving, richly textured duet for Dresser and Lee. Stylistcally, Houle is a much different clarinetist than Carter, who drew elaborate pictures with a single, if often squiggled, line; Houle, who has impeccable technique, carefully builds his solos deliberately, smudging, cross hatching, and layering to achieve a multiple perspective in a single statement. Douglas is the perfect foil for Houle, who jumped directly into improvised music from a classical background; the trumpeter gets down on "Old Blues" (one of Carter's "Three Dances In The Vernacular" making their debut on the disc, it bears a striking resemblance to the work of Carter's early student, Julius Hemphill), squeezes tart muted lines on "Juba's Run," and generally provides jazz flavors that fully animates Carter's music. Still, the project is clearly Houle's, and he deserves enormous credit for its realization.
Paul Plimley is arguably Vancouver's most resourceful improviser, a pianist capable of taking a performance anywhere at any moment; torrential clusters can instantly evaporate into sparse lyricism, staccato fragments can quickly coalesce into flowing melody, and a nimbly surfed groove can be abruptly washed out by forearm slams. All of Plimley's improvisational assets are tapped on Sensology, a rigourous duo exchange with English bass pioneer Barry Guy. Throughout the program, Guy also shows his often astounding agility, morphing plump, resonant figures into chattering percussive effects, and capping off scampering runs with otherworldly arco effects. Recorded at the Western Front, Vancouver's legendary outpost for improvised music, Sensology is improvised music at its best: bold, challenging, and rewarding.

PRETORIA, South Africa — Black and white, old and young, South Africans by the thousands paid final tribute yesterday to their beloved Nelson Mandela.
In silence or murmuring, they filed past the coffin. Some glanced back, as if clinging to the sight, a moment in history.
One man raised his fist, the potent gesture of the struggle against white rule that Mandela led from prison. A woman fainted on the steps and was helped into a wheelchair.
They had only a few seconds to look at the man many called "tata" — father in his native Xhosa — his face and upper body visible through a bubble atop the casket, dressed in a black-and-yellow shirt of the kind he favored as a statesman
"I wish I can say to him, 'Wake up and don't leave us,'" said Mary Kgobe, a 52-year-old teacher, after viewing the casket at the century-old Union Buildings, a sandstone government complex overlooking the capital, Pretoria, that was once the seat of white power.
Wearing the black, green and gold of the African National Congress, the ruling party Mandela once led, she was among the multitude who endured hours in the sun to say goodbye to the man they call their father, liberator and peacemaker.
Kgobe said losing Mandela, who died on Dec. 5 at 95, was like losing a part of herself.
"This moment is really electrifying, knowing well what he did for us. I wish we could follow in his steps and be humble like he was," said Kgobe, whose grandfather was an ANC activist who was arrested several times.
Long lines of mourners snaked through the capital for a glimpse of Mandela's body, which will lie in state for three days — an image reminiscent of the miles-long queues of voters who waited patiently to cast their ballots during South Africa's first all-race elections in 1994 that saw Mandela become the country's first black president.
Mandela was lying in state in the same hilltop building where he made a stirring inaugural address that marked the birth of South Africa's democracy — an irony that was not lost on the throngs.
"It's amazing to think that 19 years ago he was inaugurated there, and now he's lying there," said another viewer, Paul Letageng. "If he was not here, we would not have had peace in South Africa."
The mourners were joined by world leaders and Mandela family members, who walked silently past the casket at a special morning viewing. Among them were Mandela's widow, Graca Machel, and his former wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
By the afternoon, long lines had formed, but the government said the cutoff point had been reached, urging people to arrive early in the next two days to get their chance.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, South African President Jacob Zuma and other leaders passed by the casket in two lines as four junior naval officers in white uniforms stood guard.
U2 frontman Bono also paid his respects, as did F.W. de Klerk, the last president of white rule who shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela for ending apartheid.
"I hope that his focus on lasting reconciliation will live and bloom in South Africa," de Klerk said.
Yesterday morning, police on motorcycles escorted a hearse bearing Mandela's flag-draped coffin from a military hospital outside Pretoria. Hundreds lined the streets, singing songs from the struggle against the apartheid regime and calling out farewells to Mandela.
Mandela's body is to be flown on Saturday to Qunu, his rural childhood village in Eastern Cape Province, where he will be buried on Sunday.

Big Eddy-Knight Transmission Project, Wasco County, OR and Klickitat County, WA
BPA is considering three routing alternatives and a no action alternative for the proposed transmission line. The transmission line routing alternatives all would use a combination of existing BPA and new 150 foot wide right-of-way. The routing alternatives range from about 27 to 28 miles long. BPA is considering different tower combination options (single-circuit and double-circuit) including paralleling existing transmission lines. Two substation sites are being considered for the proposed Knight Substation; the sites are on adjacent properties along an existing BPA transmission line. Two fiber optic cable options are also being considered.BPA's preferred alternative is the East Alternative using some double-circuit towers (Option3), Substation Site 1 and the Wautoma Option for the fiber optic cable.

How to Finance a WWU Education
With God, It's Possible
You probably already know that a Walla Walla University Christian education is a great investment—perhaps the most important one you'll ever make. You know it offers:
- A safe place to explore God and find your own spiritual way.
- A framework for living, and the tools to navigate life.
- The likelihood of a better job, and greater lifetime earning power.
But maybe there's one thing you don't know—how to make it happen. That's why we're here, to guide you through the process and be of help every step of the way.
As we get started remember this:
Your out-of-pocket cost, not the price tag, is what really counts, so keep your eyes on the bottom line. For most students and families, financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities bring WWU within reach. And with God it's possible.


text: A large proportion (41%) of the distribution of this species is in state forest, and so is subject to forestry activity (Doran 2000). Notably, a portion of key habitat allocated as protected area was removed recently, owing to procedural errors (Doran et al. 2001). Such forestry activities needs to be properly managed to minimise impacts (N. Doran pers. comm. 2009). In the remainder of its range the species is also subject to heavy pressure from agricultural activity on private land, for which no code or guidelines are in place (Doran 2000). Broad scale habitat degradation and changes in weather, water and drainage patterns due to climate change could become a major threat in the future (N. Doran pers. comm. 2009).

The Silver Swan
The 2008 Silver Swan Conservation Project- week 12
The 2008 Silver Swan Conservation Project - week 12
Day 56 - 17 November
Matthew, Miles and Karen worked extremely hard over the weekend, dissembling and reassembling the whole of the back of the Swan mechanism again so that the temporary synthetic line could be added. They have also produced a replacement set of brass backing plates.
Once the neck was fully replaced Matthew was not happy with the movement. This resulted in them taking the neck apart and washing the Museum wax off and so allowing a smoother sequence.
Today will see the final drilling and placing of the backing plates in preparation for the leafer who will be here tomorrow and Wednesday.
Day 57 - 18 November
Today we welcome gilder and frame conservator Jock Hopson, who will be oil gilding the brass backing plate with palladium leaf.
He will apply an oil size - comprising linseed oil and a drying agent - as a contact adhesive and when touch dry will apply the palladium.
Palladium, which is the same price as gold, has been chosen for its non-tarnishing properties; unlike silver it will not go black.
The backing plate will reflect the sparkle of the newly cleaned twisted glass rods which make up the water movement.
Jock is expected to take two days to complete the work.
Day 58 - 19 November
Today will see Jock finish the palladium leafing of the reflective backing plates.
Yesterday saw the rearing of a small setback. The change in temperature in the galleries is affecting the drying time of the oil gilding. In controlled environments the normal drying time is 3 hours because it is colder in the galleries in the morning it is taking longer, whereas in the afternoon when it is a lot warmer it takes a shorter amount of time.
Another stumbling block that Jock has overcome is that the backing plates are so cold that the oil size (type of glue that sticks the palladium onto the plate) was chilling. He is using a hairdryer to warm the backing plates up to allow a smooth even surface.
Day 59 - 20 November
Yesterday Jock finished covering the reflective backing plates with palladium leafing.
This has created quite a bit of mess. Today Karen will be making sure all particles that have fallen into the mechanism and around the frame are removed.
She will also be altering the adapter plates for the new wheel attachments on the 20th century frame and attaching the final parts such as the winding handle.
Day 60 - 21 November
Yesterday Karen was able to remove all the loose palladium. The wheels for the 20th century frame were prepared ready to be fitted today.
The main part of today is going to be reinstating the 101 silver leaves which were originally on the bath tub when the swan was first designed. They are being returned to the frame where they have been since around 1972.

In the end who gives a **** if Curry over time has been better then Howard offensively in these games, whats the point of scoring points if down the other end he cant get off the ground and rebound or block and they get those points back and more.
We all know Curry is one of the WORST centers in the league and Howard is All-Star quality and is at this point in time in contention for MVP honours even though we all know he wont get it.
Curry is a fat lame piece of sh1t!!!!
I just got NBA Live 2008 and even on that he cant rebound ROFL

Wish for music college granted
A St. Paul music college has granted a struggling father's holiday wish for his son.
Just before Christmas, Tommy Wilson's family was one nominated for the United Way giving campaign in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Wilson's wife had recently died unexpectedly in her sleep. So, his wish was for his daughter and son was happiness. And, for his 25-year-old son, Cedric Harris, he wished for scholarship money to help Cedric attend McNally Smith College of Music. Cedric had set aside his application to McNally after his mother died.
The college's president, Harry Chalmiers, learned about the story and intervened. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says he checked into Cedric and found he was a serious student worthy of the thousands of dollars in scholarship money.
News of a scholarship to his dream school left Cedric in tears.

Photographers from BlackLab on Vimeo.
Photographers thanks to the mass media, we are portrayed either as a sleazy paparazzi or someone who has an awesome job. When it comes to movies about photographers, we are said to be voyeurs, hunters and investigators. But English artists Mishka Henner and David Oates have disrupted this portrayal with Photographers, a montage of extracted clips from famous movies such as Blow Up, Salvador, and other not-so-critically acclaimed films like Harrison's Flowers.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this. I'm new here
I'm studying to take the GMAT and I'm stumped on the following problem:
5^21 * 4^11 = 2 * 10^n
I need to solve for n. The answer I believe is 21, but I don't know how to arrive at the answer without a calculator. So I'm asking how to solve this without actually calculating the 5^21 and 4^11.
All the review material I've been reading talks about having like bases before combining exponents and I'm not seeing how to get like bases in this problem.
Thanks for the response!
I see how you get n=21 from the equation you've written and I understand how you got the left side. I'm confused as to how you got the right side of the equation though.
How does 2 * 10^n become 5^n * 2^(n+1) ?
Can you walk me through the transition?

While Tampa Bay has struggled this year to get wins, one thing the team has done is create a formidable pass defense. One season after finishing last in the league in passing yards allowed, the Bucs now lead the league in interceptions.
TAMPA | While Tampa Bay has struggled this year to get wins, one thing the team has done is create a formidable pass defense.
One season after finishing last in the league in passing yards allowed, the Bucs now lead the league in interceptions.
Tampa Bay has 21 interceptions this year, which is already tied for 10th best in team history. It's already more picks than 23 other Tampa Bay teams (non-strike seasons), including last year's, which had 18. The most the Bucs have had in one season is 32 in 1981.
Buffalo is second in the league this season with 18 interceptions, while Seattle and Arizona are tied for third with 17.
An easy explanation for the jump in interceptions would be the additions of safety Dashon Goldson and cornerback Darrelle Revis, two of the top players at their positions.
But Goldson and Revis have combined on just three interceptions this year. Other players are stepping up, like linebacker Lavonte David, who leads the team (and is second in the league) with five interceptions. Nine Tampa Bay players have at least one interception this year.
"We take a lot of pride in that," Goldson said. "I think we all do. As a secondary, that's your thing, you want to get turnovers."
Players also say that comfort with their system has played a major role, as well as the play of the defensive front.
"We're just playing as a team," said cornerback Leonard Johnson, who has an interception for a touchdown this year. "It's our second year in the system. Guys are familiar with the terminology and scheme, and the coaches are putting us in position to make big time plays."
Johnson also said the defensive line has played a strong role in the team getting interceptions.
Last year, Tampa Bay had 27 sacks and 56 quarterback hits. This year, the club already has 31 sacks and 74 quarterback hits.
"It all goes together," Johnson said. "A great pass rush means we don't have to cover them as long. Our front seven is playing really, really good right now, and that's putting guys on the back end in position to make some plays."
In Sunday's win against Buffalo, Tampa Bay had four interceptions and seven sacks.
"I think we covered very well on Sunday, which, as I've said many times, they go hand-in-hand," coach Greg Schiano said. "If you can make the quarterback hold it half a click more, it changes everything."
Receiver Vincent Jackson (hamstring), center Jeremy Zuttah (shoulder) and defensive end Da'Quan Bowers (knee) were limited in practice Thursday, according to Schiano.
The Glazer Family Foundation will collect new, unwrapped toys for the annual "Toys for Tots" drive at Raymond James Stadium Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Washington's airports are open and operating normally. Check back during the next winter weather event for updates.
The most significant winter storm for the season brought blizzard conditions and deep snow to the region on the weekend of January 23-24, 2016. Our YouTube channel has videos of airport snow removal.
If you have flight reservations when snow is forecast, please consider these tips:
- In the early stages of a winter storm, airlines may pre-cancel flights to move planes away from storm-affected areas. Closely monitor your flight status using your airline's website or mobile app.
- Reservation change fees are typically waived by airlines to encourage re-booking flights away from storm-affected dates. Check with your airline to learn these policies and to make any reservation changes.
- During the storm, staffing in airport customer locations, such as ticket counters, may be limited. Use airline websites, apps, and call centers to make reservation changes.
- Please consider roadway or public transit conditions before starting any trips from your location to the airport.
- The airport keeps staffing on hand throughout the storm to handle snow removal on the airfield and on airport roads. Passenger services may reduce their staffing to minimum levels, and it can take time after the storm for to return to full staffing.
- Local hotels may offer the best overnight accommodation options for out-of-town guests whose flights are canceled. Many nearby hotels offer shuttle service to and from the terminal (depending on road conditions).
- After a major storm, it takes considerable time for airline flight schedules to return to normal as planes and crews are re-deployed.
- In the event of heavy snow, be prepared for service cancellations by Metrorail and public transit services.
- Services that could be slowed by snowy or icy conditions include baggage delivery, taxis, buses and shuttles.
During irregular operations, check our airport homepages FlyReagan.com and FlyDulles.com for alerts or follow our Twitter feeds @Reagan_Airport and @Dulles_Airport.
Airport flight information is available on our website. However, it is recommended to visit your airline's website for the latest flight status updates.

- Flight Information at Dulles International Airport (IAD)

You know you live in Wacky Land when you overhear the following:
16yo: "Why is Katherine carrying around a live hamster on a plate?"
Everyone else: Disregards and continues dancing to Christmas music.
It actually crossed my mind that someone might think I make this stuff up. I mean who carries around a hamster on a plate?
That's why I whipped out my cell phone to document what I saw when I pulled into my driveway yesterday.

Tepper prepping Pomona College Museum Keynote
Curb's Associate Director Steven J. Tepper continues to be a sought-after keynote speaker all across the courtry. This week he shares the stage in Claremont, CA, at Pomona College's Museum Curriculum Collaboration Symposium, "a conversation about creativity, curriculum, and pedagogy." I caught up with him last week as he was reflecting on Scientific American's recent article, "Novel Finding: Reading Literary Fiction Improves Empathy" (Julianne Chiaet, 4 Oct 2013) and wondering if it might make it into the draft of his talk. As I write this he's traveling from FL to CA, and he promises to send the final draft. We're staying tuned! In the meantime, visit Pomona College's Museum of Art website–excellent images.

Cowboys player injured by weight bar
Cowboys offensive tackle Darrion Weems dropped a 325-pound weight bar on his chest.
A player trying to make an NFL roster can carry a lot of weight on his shoulders.
Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Darrion Weems went one step further by dropping a lot of weight on his chest.
Weems missed practice Sunday and Monday after dropping a 325-pound bench press bar on himself. Weems has been bothered by a thumb injury lately, which likely led to the accident.
"I'm sure it's pretty painful," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said in comments published by The Dallas Morning News. "We'll see how he is day-to-day."
Garrett was not sure if Weems had a spotter assisting him.
The 6-5, 308-pound Weems, a former standout at Oregon, is attempting to make the roster after being signed off the
Broncos' practice squad last December. Weems is with his sixth team in two seasons.

I purchased this range in Fall 2011 to replace an old four burner cooktop that two eyes weren't working and the gas regulator was bad. I wanted a five burner range and this seemed perfect at the time. First, the quality of the materials is excellent. The grates are sturdy and easy to remove for cleaning. I have been very pleased with the appearance and durability of it so far. My problem with this cooktop is the five burners. Though it seems like a great feature, the problem is that the spacing is too small between the burners. If I am using the middle burner (the one with the "quick boil" feature) with anything larger than a small saucepan, I cannot use any of the other burners at that time because other pots or pans won't fit on the stove above the burners. So when you are cooking, this item is either a one burner or a four burner cooktop. I gave it it 2 stars for design and 3 stars for feature because of this issue.

{Valentine's Day} Muslin Treat Bags
I had these muslin bags laying around from our Advent Calendar, so I decided to decorate a few for the latest holiday.
Just be sure to insert a piece of cardboard before stamping so the ink doesn't bleed through the other side of the bag.
I wanted a bit more razzle-dazzle, so I accented the stamps using glue and microbeads. I have no idea why I had these in my craft stash, or for what Martha suggests we use them!
But they're pink and cute, and give the bags some texture.
I used the stamps I had on hand and created just a few bags to give my family for Valentine's Day. Truthfully, I just wanted an excuse to buy cinnamon gummies.
I pulled the drawstring out of the bag and closed them with satin ribbon. Hopefully that keeps me out of them until next Tuesday!
Have a sweet weekend, lovebugs! And if you're looking for sweet things to whip up this weekend, check out the Valentine's Day Gallery. Even though having an entire gallery of projects completely negates my claims of not being Valentine obsessed. Whatever.

Neil Kudrinko, a grocer who has had political aspirations.
Major Renovation
Kudrinko began the major upgrade of his store and its energy and refrigeration components in 2008, a process that took about two years, at a combined cost of about $600,000. To make the cost more palatable to his dad, still the owner at that time, and manageable for himself, Kudrinko spread the renovation over two years and multiple contractors. "We did it one project at a time so we could see the results," he said. "I would say [to his father], in order to maximize the ...

Consumer Cellular is now
1 Million Customers Strong!
On February 12th, 2013 we welcomed our one millionth customer. That's a huge number and significant milestone in our 17-year history. We are very proud and humbled to have so many people choose to do business with us each and every day.
Something this big deserves a big celebration. And we cannot think of a better way to celebrate than to give something equally significant back to those that made this possible — our customers who selected us for their wireless service needs and the employees who provide the award-winning customer support that sets us apart from all other cellular companies.A Million Thank You's
In honor of reaching 1 million customers, we want to say thanks, a million times, by giving back 1 million dollars. Half of this has been split among our 750 amazing employees whose hard work and commitment to taking care of our customers is the key to our success.
And on behalf of our customers, we have donated the other $500,000 to five wonderful charities. Just as our customers are spread throughout the entire country, each of these organizations provides services across the United States. We also selected charities whose missions were near and dear to the hearts of our customers. We are pleased on our customers' behalf to be able to donate $100,000 each to:
- The American Cancer Society
- Meals On Wheels
- Make-A-Wish-Foundation
- Parkinson's Disease Foundation
- Alzheimer's Association
It's a very rewarding time here at Consumer Cellular. But rest assured, we remain just as committed today at 1 million strong as we were 17 years ago when it was all still a vision. Affordable, superior cellphone service from friendly people that genuinely care about you is more than just lip service. It is what has gotten us this far and it remains our commitment to our customers and employees as we continue to grow.
Please take a minute to watch the short video above about our 1 Million celebration. And thanks for being a part of something special.
Co-Founder and CEO, Consumer Cellular

So my week of ripping others' thoughts off continues. I found this helpful as it is not really about swearing, it is about honesty. Some people (although fewer year on year in this culture) expect their leaders to be unhuman or even superhuman. This post froma friend's fb page I found realistic and healing:-
'If you are a Christian who takes offense at swear words or believes for some reason that clergy should never be cranky or irritated, then I am not the person for you to follow. It's ok. You don't actually need me. The entire publishing arm of the Christian Industrial Complex …. has a great deal of material that is just for you! Countless Christian websites and books and blogs are your brand of Christian.
No need to leave me comments about how disappointed you are in my use of language because out there in cultural Christendom you will find niceness in abundance, super-duper positive thinking, and lots of inspiration with (best of all!) no swear words! The Christian world is your oyster.
You are not my audience.
But there are other folks out there who are comforted by ambiguity, who need a Word of grace which is not covered in strawberry syrup. Who need the stark truth of what it means to be broken and blessed at the same time. Who are at home in the Biblical story; stories of anti-heroes and people who don't get it; beloved prostitutes and rough fishermen. They tend to not really care that I use colorful language. If anything, they are relieved that they don't have to watch what they say around this particular member of the Christian clergy'.
The highlights in that passage are mine. I like this posting immensely; poetic, probing and real. I think I should print it out and stick it somewhere.
*By the way as a Methodist Minister, I am not 'clergy'. We don't have 'em, nor a formal hierarchy. Glad we sorted that out.

Cowboys Acquire Linebacker Rolando McClain Via Trade
NFL via Getty Images(IRVING, Texas) — Dallas Cowboys acquired linebacker Rolando McClain in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday. Dallas sent a 2015 sixth-round pick to Baltimore in return for McClain and Baltimore's 2015 seventh-round pick.
McClain was selected out of Alabama with the eighth overall pick by the Raiders in 2010. He eventually was released by the Raiders after multiple arrests and other off-field issues.
McClain signed with the Ravens in 2013 but retired before playing a game. The NFL reinstated McClain in March 2014 after the linebacker communicated that he wanted to play, but McClain decided to retire again soon after. But again the itch to play came back again, and McClain was officially taken off the reserve/ retired list Tuesday.
The addition of McClain helps the Cowboys replace linebacker Sean Lee, who tore his ACL and is expected to miss the entire 2014 season.
The 24-year-old McClain has played in 41 NFL games. During that time, he had 175 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 17 passes defended.

Transgender London
Is Transgender A Birth Defect?
It is an often used comment that transgendered people are born that way. I dont dispute the fact for even a heartbeat, the physiological, genetics, and neurological evidence of being born transgender is very strong. The question of whether it is a birth defect is something of debate and worse, point of view.
One has to consider and decide if a "birth defect" is a good or a bad thing and more, what constitutes a defect. For instance is someone born with a high IQ born with a birth defect? How about someone born with a disability. Is it a defect or a disability. Is the high IQ a handicap or a benefit to be exploited?
The answer in my opinion is how it is used. That transgender is an anomaly is unquestionable. It is definitely not of the norm by the standards of society as we know it but in other cultures it was celebrated. To these cultures it was a gift. It becomes a matter of perspective.
I believe that while it has been a gift personally, it has also been a curse socially. Society does not accept my gender variance and as such sees it as any number of things but primarily as a disorder. Of course, my objections to that are well documented both here and elsewhere. I do not consider it a disability but I do consider it a handicap. Society's rules of order dictate that my gender expression is unacceptable and so, conformity to the binary gender model must be maintained. This has created multiple mental issues of anxiety and depression. These are certainly mental issues but not disorders. These have prevented contribution to society in many ways. Without those barriers erected by society, the contributions flow easily.
Being born transgender subjects us to the rules of our parents. These are the rules and roles we learn as children. For the transgender child there is no choice in most cases but to learn these with the expectation of conformity. A child who dares to violate this can be easily "labeled" and as a result, suffer the consequences. However the supportive parent creates an environment for the child to grow. In such a case it can hardly be a defect or handicap.
So the real issue is not whether it is a defect but rather what is societal acceptance of an anomaly from the time of birth. It is correctable through transition and surgical process. The scars of social conditioning are not.
The final question to be asked is where the defect lies; in the anomaly of transgender or in the rules of society. It is impossible to separate them and only one can change. That change is slow at best.

Organization saves Victorian-era home furnishings from landfill
Habitat Restore resells fixtures, cabinets to raise money for Habitat for Humanity
A local organization tore fixtures and cabinets out of a Victorian-era home in a near west side neighborhood, which will be replaced by a new apartment building.
The Greenbush Neighborhood in Madison will soon see a new neighbor in the way of a four-story apartment building.
The building will feature one- and two-bedroom units in the former spot of a Victorian-era home on Mound Street.
If someone bought the Victorian-era building that went up for sale last fall, the new owners would have had to move the building to another lot, but nobody bought it.
Monday, volunteers with Habitat Restore tore out items like metal, pipes and cabinetry, so instead of going into a landfill, they're go up for resale or recycling.
"There's less material to take to the landfill, it helps us to sell this material to fund new construction. So it's a win, win for everybody," Habitat Restore Deconstruction Manager Frank Byrne said. "There is material we are able to offer the public at the Habitat restores."
Proceeds from items sold at the Restore help to build Habitat for Humanity homes. There are two locations, one at 208 Cottage Grove Rd. and another at 5706 Odana Rd.

Polynesian Tribal (Hawaii, Maori, Tahiti, Marquesas, Samoa, Tonga, Easter Island...), Celtic Tribal, Haida Tribal, Filipino Tribal
The Wordwide Tribal Tattoo Website. Tribal patterns and meanings (dictionary of symbols); Albums/photo galleries ; Custom made tribal tattoo designs; Tribal Tattoo history in Polynesia, North America, Europe and Asia; Directory of tribal tattoo artists from around the world (tattoo machines and traditional tools); Conventions, festivals, events and tattoo news. Tattoo video clips.
Meaning of Polynesian, Celtic, Haida and Filipino Tribal Designs/Patterns
The Online Dictionaries of Tribal Tattoo Symbols
The Tribal Tattoo Guide includes 4 different Online Dictionaries to choose from:
- POLYNESIAN Symbols
- CELTIC Symbols
- HAIDA Symbols
- FILIPINO Symbols
Each Online Dictionary of Tribal Tattoo Symbols is a practical guide to help you create the custom-made tattoo which represents you.
For your convenience, the dictionaries allow 2 types of searches :
- I'm very interested in what this or that design/pattern mean (Polynesian tiki or shark, Celtic Tree of Life or cross, Haida wolf or bear, Filipino weapons, etc.), what do they mean/symbolize?
- What are different ideas of tribal designs/patterns I can choose from to represent this or that aspect of my life (family, prosperity, fighting spirit, strength, loved ones, etc.)?
Understanding and Using the Symbols…
In the world of Tribal Tattoo, intuition and "feeling" play an important role in the creation of a unique personal tattoo; personal in the sense that it really represents you and no one else. Some tribal tattoo artists have a very developed intuition and can help you choose your symbols. A tattoo always creates a relationship between the artist and the person being tattooed. The artist always has his/her place in your creation.
Far from taking the artist's role, to the contrary, the dictionaries allow you to understand and enter this fascinating world… A tribal tattoo represents you and concentrates your creative energy to fully embrace your life and what lies ahead for you.
Years of Reading at your Fingertips
This guide is the result of 20 years of passion, of research, of reading dozens of books each year in various languages and from different times. It takes into account the many different traditions of the many different tribes and people at the root of the different tribal tattoo styles.
You can access this treasure of information -until now reserved for a privileged few- for the price of a book. Our unique guides feature information arduously and meticulously gathered from a multitude of sources –all touching on the meaning of the symbols, with drawings and pictures organized by design/pattern.
You can choose to subscribe to 1, 2, 3,.. or all 4 of our dictionaries! A one month subscription to one dictionary allows you to save –for your personal use- the documentation of interest.
And Years of Life with your Tattoo !
You will see that the tattoo moment flies by… The dictionaries allow you to spend hours enjoying the moment of its creation! Enter your life through the symbols. When you look at your tattoo, you will feel who you are without making a single sentence in your head. What if art helped to clear our overloaded minds?
A tattoo... that's a story of the heart, of what is sensed, of emotion and of feeling.
And our dictionaries will allow you to form a bridge:
- between the modern world and the traditional world
- between the language of the mind and the language of the heart.
Make sure you nurture and work with the idea of your tattoo long before its creation. That way it will have time to mature and blossom...

Funerary stelae with "false door" of Iry, administrator of the Necropolis of Giza, cat. 22775
Commemorative stelae of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, cat. 22780
Statue of the priest Udja-Hor-res-ne, cat. 22690
Architecture of Room I
Virtual Visit of this Room
Room I is dedicated to stelae and statues with hieroglyphic inscriptions, which are arranged in chronological order. There is a statue of Ramses II on his throne in the centre. The architecture of the room, in Egyptian style, introduces the visitor to the world of the pharoahs. The part dedicated to the Old Kingdom (2575-2134 BC) has two funeral stelae with a false door and a fragment of a relief from a tomb showing a scene among the reeds. Three family funerary stelae of the 12th dynasty illustrate the Middle Kingdom (2000-1550 BC), while of the New Kingdom (1550-600 BC) there are offertory tables and funerary, votive and commemorative stelae, the most important of which dedicated by Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. An historical scarab of Amenonphis III and a scroll of Akhenaton represent the Amarna period (14th cent. BC), while a carved cult vase represents the period of the Ramses (13th-12th cent. BC). The late periods are illustrated by a group of statues of high officials, while Christian Egypt is represented by some Coptic inscriptions.
