SoE/SEB Optional 2014 Post-Conference Field Trips
Thursday, May 15th, 2014
Field trips accommodate two different sorts of post-conference travel plans:
If you would like to spend more time in the Cherokee/Great Smoky Mountain National Park area, choose one of the two trips that depart and return to Harrah's casino.
Or enjoy a field trip along the way to the Asheville Regional Airport and still make a flight connection on Thursday afternoon or evening, OR plan to stay overnight in Asheville and spend some time experiencing its many opportunities or exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Note also the optional tour to AIMS you can arrange for Thursday or Friday if you have your own transportation in the Asheville area.
NOTE ABOUT HOTEL RESERVATIONS: Make refundable hotel reservations NOW for Thursday or Friday nights if you wish to spend the night in Cherokee, in Asheville, or near the Asheville Regional Airport in Fletcher, NC. Overnight rates at Harrah's casino Resort rise to their normal May level (about $169/night) for Thursday night, and no rooms are available at the casino on Friday or Saturday nights. If you plan on staying, you should make reservations at another hotel for those nights beyond Wednesday night. Rooms are filling quickly in the area.
NOTE ABOUT CATCHING YOUR PLANE: We will make every effort to deposit you at the airport by the time stated. However, please remember to schedule your flight so that you have ample time to pass through security procedures and walk to your gate. Plan to arrive at the airport at least 70-90 minutes before your flight is scheduled to leave.
Trips Staying in Cherokee
CH1: Cherokee Cosmography Tour
CH2: Appalachian Ethnobotany Tour
Trips ending at Asheville
ASH3: Blue Ridge Mountain Ecology Tour
ASH4: Asheville Botanical Gardens Tour
For Thursday, May 15 or Friday, May 16
If you have your own transportation and are wondering what you might do in Asheville, we have a few suggestions. You can visit the Folk Art Center located nearby on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has three exhibit galleries, a craft library, craft shop, National Park Service bookshop, and daily live craft demonstrations. Downtown Asheville is a charming place to visit. We recommend a visit to Mast General Store. Eat lunch at one of the many restaurants (we can recommend some). Save room for dessert, though, because then you can walk to the Chocolate Lounge at the French Broad Chocolate Factory. You may then want to catch the Stop and Go shuttle to Highland Brewery, to hear their story and learn about the brewing process from grain to glass. Free, 30-minute tours (first come, first served, closed-toe shoes required) are at 4:00 and 4:45 pm. Finish with a taste of fresh beer – a 7oz pour of Gaelic Ale, Highland's flagship brew. Highland's Tasting Room will be open after the tour for flights and pints. Please wear closed-toed shoes if you plan to tour. What to do/see the next day – of the many possibilities, we'll mention spending the entire day at Biltmore Estate (check out their hotel and tour packages), or half a day at the Western North Carolina Nature Center.

*Is someone tired of reading Chris Brown headlines?
A Canadian media company is giving what other people are asking for – a "Brownout."
It's an app that gets rid of all things Chris Brown from a user's browser.
"It is nearly impossible to go on the Internet without reading something about him, he is always doing something outrageously moronic," said Sam Sutherland, online producer for AUX. "If he wants to get a tattoo on his neck that kinda looks like Rihanna we are going to write about it. But at some point, it reaches Chris Brown idiocy saturation."
Where was this app when Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton were making us all throw up. What about the Britney Spears madness? Just sayin'.
Anyway, Brownout places a box over the singer's face when images of him pop up and hides his name when it appears in headlines.
AUX is also the producer of the Nickelblock, a plug-in that allows users to avoid the onslaught of headlines and images of rock band Nickelback.
Sutherland mentioned that his company could be developing blocks for other celebs like Donald Trump.
Hmm, in that case, we just might be down with that one.

Parasailing Donkey Prompts Investigation
All animal abuse is despicable, but some abuses are so outrageously dumb and mind-blowingly cruel that I can only guess that they were thought up by drunk, heartless buffoons trying to "out-cruel" each other in a bar bet. Case in point:
"Entrepreneurs" in Southern Russia could face two years in jail for animal abuse after allegedly forcing a donkey to parasail over the Sea of Azov. Horrified beachgoers reported that the terrified donkey screamed nonstop—the animal was so high in the air that crying children asked why a "doggie" was tied to a parachute. But as a police spokesperson noted, "No one had the brains to call police."
The donkey's terrifying ordeal didn't end there: After crash-landing in the water, she was dragged behind a boat for several meters before she was finally pulled out of the water, barely alive.
Police are investigating the incident, which has made headlines all over the world and prompted an international outcry. Please make sure that officials at the Russian Embassy hear from you too.

The names of the people who did this to the poor donkey should be made public. I just read at that the Donkey Sanctuary site in Devon that the people who did this will not suffer any consequences. The Donkey Sanctuary is calling for the rescue of this poor animal and will offer care and shelter for the rest of her life. Send an email to the Russian embassy in support of this.
My only thing to say to this is Seriously?
This incident sickened me and could not remove the image of that poor terrified little donkey from my mind. I hope those responsible pay for what they have done and hope that poor little sole finds a loving home Like my horse has with me. If any good can come out if this I hope that more will join the Brooke foundation as I did today and hope my small monthly contribution helps a little to ease the suffering of donkeys.
A major thank you to Ann I'm glad you understood what I meant. Everyone else on here who has put in their condolences to the animals THANK YOU and please keep up your hard work and stand up for these animals!!!! Thanks for all that you do and keeping us informed PETA.
Jennifer you may want to take a gander at my post again I agreed with everything you just said. Animals are feeling wonderful creatures. In fact its amazing you skipped over my entire post that was standing up for them. They should not be forced into things they do not have any control over. "Animals have no say in what they do" this is correct. For example circuses. Can an elephant vocalize it does not want to be there? No and I find this sickeningly unfair. We as people can complain text tweet blog email send letters and call everyone on earth to complain. Can an animal do that? Can they pick up the phone and call someone to say they are being treated unfairly? NO. If you knew how to read you would have seen I was responding to "tewkewls" comment on this incident not being very serious. And saying why I felt he was wrong. Again… don't attack me and and call ME an idiot when you don't even know how to read basic English. How about To 'Anon' and 'Maria' you said it better than I could have. BRAVO Posted by Ann July 21 2010 0620 PM Being that you were the only person who interpreted my post wrong I think you should reread it.
I actually thought this was a joke when i first seen it because i could not get my head around the fact that we as a human race could atually be that stupid! is this what we have resorted to for entertainment? cruelty of animals? It goes to show that these people are obviously highly uneducated people that do not deserve to make decisions like this in the future! lets hope a substantial prison sentence is passed so that these fools will be made an example of! Firstly before it even goes to court the same should be done to them so they may have some idea of the pain that the animal was feeling!!!!
Tuttabella I also think he was put down or died. He landed awkwardly and I think his legs were probably broken. It must have been so painful for him. Please make it known to the world what we can do about actually seeing the investigation on tv and be sure justice is done. Many of us are still thinking and praying for this poor donkey.
Sickening. I have been thinking about this for days. The worst part is that PETA site aside youtube etc comments are mostly along the lines of isn't it funny? Depressing that in the year 2010 so many people many clearly young people by the tone of the writing can find this anything other than terrible.
"This is literally worse than the holocaust." Yes obviously! Because the systematic killing of 11 million humans is NOTHING compared to a single donkey being forced to parasail!
I cannot believe that moron tewkew thought it was ok to put that poor defenceless donkey in the air IT WASNT A RESCUE which I hope if a animal had to be airlifted to safety would be less stressful and wouldnt have the poor creature dangling for over 30 mins terrified. This was a cruel heartless publicity stunt and the person who did it deserves to be strung up in a public place with all PETA supporters around him I dont think he would survive for very long I know I would love to torture him as he has that poor little donkey
Supposedly the donkey was found and is "clinically healthy" and the British tabloid the SUN has published photos of her being fed by their Russian correspondent but I think the donkey in these photos is an impostor obtained either by the owner to keep from being prosecuted by the police and harassed by animal rights activists or provided by the SUN for publicity purposes. I'm sorry for being so cynical but I think the real donkey died of her injuries or was put down soon after landing and being dragged from the water.
I was chocked as I saw the report on TV. Such people who abuses animals are not normal. Shame on them! We have to stand for animals' rights we are their voice…and in this case we give voice to this poor donkey…Act now!
Not a thing will happen to the perpetrators behind this mean stunt. I read where that poor animal was flailing and braying for a long time and then it finally gave up like it knew it was going to die. It was up the FOR A HALF HOUR and not a single person came to that animal's defense. They don't even let humans stay up there that long. That donkey trusted it's owner to take care of it and look at what he did. How sad we've come to this.
dear Brea it is a big deal is. if i sent your baby sondaughter tied to chute and have him drop ito the ocean i am sure you and your kid would be screaming too. that would have been fun. What say!
I have just read more comments on this site and apparently there is another moron who seems to think that animals don't have feelings and in their opinion anyone who equates humans and animals feelings are "fools" This was not a rescue it was a barbaric act on a poor defenceless animal and the people that did this don't even deserve to go to prison. Strap them up take them over rocky cliffs and cut the wires!
I saw this article in sun newspaper. I wrote to them yesterday and I received an email back stating that the newspaper had despatched someone to go to Russia to buy the donkey. They did so and the sun were in the process of transporting it to a sanctuary..lets just hope it is in this country. As for the bastards that did this they don't deserve air to breathe.I cannot believe how and why so many people are hell bent on hurting defenceless animals it is appalling. If this had been a child there would have been a public outcry! Animals have emotions and feelings the same as humans when are people going to realise that.
Calling the Russian Embassy to complain about this? You are joking..thats like calling George Bush to complain about oill drilling or calling Dick Cheney to complain about Halliburton. You need to get someone over there and get in their faces!!
Russian embassy email russianembassymindspring.com Russian Embassy phone numbers 2022985700 and 202 9398907 Call and email non stop and post to your facebook twitter etc. and get your friends to do the same. We can make this happen. WE need to get these people punished.
Cmon PETA get engaged with your full force on this intolerable act. This was totally unacceptable. Get on some of your activists on international flights and get over there and get in their faces! Like you would do if it happened in the USA… This is an unacceptable act and the diplomatic approach is too understated and unacceptable…get over there and get in their FACES!!!
I am shocked to see that people can do something like this and see nothing wrong with it…. If they are capable of this I wonder how far they dare to go for publicity… I pray that someone pays the price for this inhumane action…. unbelievable!
frododood…I apologize to you I was reading the names wrong and my comment was directed to tewkewl who posted below you..I am sorry frododood..
FrododoodI think you need to go back to frodofantasyland….I don't care how you try to justify this behavior there is no excuse for such cruelty …Are you friends with the guy that owns the parasailing co. that is saying he had nothing to do with it …it was the owner's wish that he fly like Pegasus. you are just as full of crap as the idiots that did this to that poor animal with your yang talk…
I am in disbelief when you think humans can't get any lower …..breathing is too good for those bastards! I wish them an airplane flight and at 20000 feet they are just pushed out…let them glide to earth
What SICK!! Individuals would do such a sick thing just when I thought people couldnt be more STUPID!! they go prove me wrong What a Bunch Of AHoles that poor Donkey I hope pray that those people are prosecuted to the Fullest Extent of the law .
I read an article this morning in which a Russian police spokeswoman says that the donkey and the owner have been found and that the donkey was examined by "our vet" and was determined to be okay but I don't believe it. I think it's just a coverup and that the police have been paid off by the owner and they made this statement just to put an end to the furor. I don't think Russia is like the U.S. where the donkey would be rescued by a humane society euthanized or nursed back to health and sent to a sanctuary. She's probably been shot and killed and thrown into a landfill or just left to die in the middle of nowhere. I still can't stop thinking about this poor donkey. Here is a link to the article httpwww.mn.rurussia20100722187943873.html
Just so everyone knows the donkey was shell shocked but survived the ordeal. It was in the news last night. The perpetrators will face two years in jail if charged with animal cruelty according to animal welfare laws in Russia.
Just responding to the comment made by tewkewl What "us guys" don't like is mindless cruelty. There is a difference between a life and death situation and a stupid publicity stunt. "Us guys" which I take to mean the more intelligent members of humanity feel that humans have a responsibility to have the best interests of the animal at heart. Not to treat them as our personal belongings which feel nothing and have no rights. People who excuse this type of behaviour based on the grounds that worse crimes are committed do so through pure closeminded apathy and are in some ways even more disgraceful than those who know no better.
"This is literally worse than the holocaust." Making a donkey go parasailing is worse than the deaths of 6 million jews? please do explain.
Kris said "I can only think of one word to describe this behaviour..Masochists!! I do sincerely hope that the Russian authorities take this horrifying episode seriously realizing that these sick morons would resort to anything for entertainment. This planet belongs to as much to animals flora fauna as it does to human beings. We've already set a trigger in motion what with all the pollution aggradation why not learn from past mistakes and respect mother nature and all sentient beings. Live and let live they said remind these men of that!!" how were these people masochists i dont understand?
Jennifer I'm rather confused with your rant. Did I honestly say anything about the parasailing? No. In fact I DON'T agree with what they did AT ALL and in fact want them to be fully prosecuted by the law. That said this is my point a donkey doesn't scream. Screaming is a human trait and to give a human trait to an animal as you're noticing detracts from the main issue. Also in regard to "And also when you said "animals have no say in what they do" that's because ahole humans FORCE them top do these things." Um… I didn't say that someone else did. Please read more carefully. Jennifer wrote "You are stupid. next time you want to make a point have some sense into what you are trying to say. I don't even know why you are even on this website since you believe that animals are practically unfeeling souless beings that can't feel." IN conclusion again 1. I agree the perps should be punished. 2. We need to use animal sounds instead of "screaming" so people will not just skip over these stories. and 3. Please read names properly next time.
This is the most horrible disgusting twisted sadistic thing I have ever seen. It makes me sick to my stomach to see this happening to a defenseless animal. As the proud owner of 2 amazing mini donkeys I know first hand they are highly intelligent animals capable of emotion and fear. I would do anything to adopt this poor donkey into our herd and allow him to safely graze in the pasture for the rest of his life. The people who did this to him deserve equally brutal punishment for their actions.

Donald M. in Virginia writes:
I seriously doubt anything really got accomplished other than the Iran Leader spouting off lies. He doesn't even believe what happened to the Jews is real, even though there is countless evidence of the death camps used by the Germans back in World War 2. He is in denial of the facts and the truth. He could just be "Afraid of the truth" or facts. I would think the United States should consider recommending Dr. Phil the next time the Iran Leader returns to New York. Apparently, the man needs his head examined. I was impressed with President Barack Obama statement in reply. However, I think in future it will require more "Meat and Potatoes" and something to back it up if or when the Iran Leader decides to open his trap. Either that or just let the Iran Leader spout off his false claims and make himself look bad to the world. I know this would be kinda silly of me to say, but the man had a gull to make those statements arriving in our country. If someone from our country made the same statements in his country, how would he react? Doesn't he even think before he speaks?

Ronald Rodger CASEBY records the following notes on his Aunt Bella (Isabella Dall RODGER). I was born on 07/11/1936 into a household where Aunt Bell (or Bella) who was born on 02/07/1866 was being given a home by my parents in her declining years when she appeared to be increasingly suffering from senile dementia. My mother was to tell me in later years that Aunt Bella had been a very time and attention demanding and fastidious patient. She greatly resented Mum being pregnant with me and not being able to devote more time to Bella's needs. So from before my birth Aunt Bella disliked me and afterwards even more so as I was breast fed by my mother and given much attention by all the rest of my family, our many relations, and friends. Mum said Aunt Bella eventually came round to liking me as I was a very quite and well behaved child, and latterly was most anxious to hold me, rock me in my cradle and sing and speak softly to me as she had done with other children in her care.
In later years both my mother and father, and others, were to mention facts and queries to me regarding the life and times of Aunt Bella. For example two ladies called unexpectedly at Carlops Manse one Saturday afternoon in January 1959 were introduced to me as Sheriff McClure's two daughters. Aunt Bella, in her second job as a Nanny, had been their Nanny during their youth, their tutor in many practical skills, and their Maidservant and Companion on all their family travels throught out the Continent of Europe, in Canada and America. The McClure House was at 16, Heriott Row, Edinburgh, Scotland. These ladies told us that to their knowledge Aunt Bella never married, nor had any children out of wedlock. They said she had many male admirers who gave her expensive gifts, and so she surely must have amassed considerable savings for she was never required to pay for anything by her employers and was paid a good salary. Aunt Bella had come to their home with excellent references from her first employers, a Jewish one with a surname sounding like MICHAELHOSE, who lived in or near to Edinburgh. She was also understood to have inherited money, shares, property and goods through her family and relations at various times, the details of which she kept in her "kist" (small chest), and had her affairs looked after by a Solicitor who she claimed was a Cousin.
At one stage during that 1959 discussion the McClure girls said that when they were very young, they recalled their parents talking about Aunt Bella having a year or so unaccounted for in her employment record with her first employers. The McClure ladies also mentioned the fact that Aunt Bella rarely took holidays apart from her travels with them her wards, or the family, and only had the odd days with her nearest relations. In all the 30 years they knew Aunt Bella the sisters were astonished that Bella took one day off per week, mid-week. The family carriage would take her to the entrance to Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, for about 10-30 pm and was required to meet her there at 4-30pm. Aunt Bella was a very healthy person, but even when she had an illness the girls said that this would not stop her making this weekly trip about which she was completely secretive. She never spoke of where she had been or what she had done on her day off. The McClure girls only knew that she would take her pay in cash, and any other money gifts, with her and would return empty handed. They assumed that she had banked the money at a Bank in the Haymarket, or delivered it to her Solicitor Cousin for investing, or safe-keeping.
Following that visit by the McClure sisters in 1959, and on other occasions my parents spoke about Aunt Bella's "vanishing act" and spoke of the long held rumour amongst the family that she had probably produced a child during that time, the father being either one of, or another employee of, the MICHALEHOSE family, and that the illegitimate child had died in infancy. The other speculation was that the child had lived and that she was allowed a weekly visit to the family and her child which had been adopted, and that all her money went on gifts for her child.
Elizabeth Muir (nee Caseby) mentioned in a letter to me at Christmas 1991 that James Rodger had visited her father, William, to meet his wife after their marriage in 1930. I mentioned this to Mum on 16/04/1992 and she said it was James who had come from America and was staying with her and Dad for 6 months at Ernest Cottage in Lundin Links which they were renting. He went to congratulate William on his marriage and to meet the bride and be able to take word back to America. Mum said James did not like living in New York and hoped to win a sweepstake he had entered in Methil so that he could bring his family home. Mum said that James and family had lived in White Rose Terrace, or Avenue, Eve Cottage in Methil Hill, Fife, before going to New York, America. They followed their daughter Nell there for she had married a William Williamson from Newport, Fife, and then emigrated to New York. James took his wife, Helen Cameron, and Mum thinks their other daughters ( June and Ruby) with them - she was not sure of any other family. Elizabeth also mentioned William Williamson in her letter and thought that he might be Bella Rodger's suspected illegitimate which James had mentioned when he visited her parents in Glasgow when on a business trip from the USA in1930.
Mum added that as a boy Dad had often visited his Uncle James in Methil and holidayed with his family with his mother and brothers including Elizabeth's father William.
There was also a story that Bella might have had illegitimate girl twins who were both born deaf, dumb and blind, and took her money to them on weekly visits until they died as teenagers. From 1986 to 1994 my cousins James and David CASEBY did some research around the Haymarket area of Edinburgh for me in an attempt to find any unclaimed Bank Accounts in Bella's name. They also spoke with other relations who said that Bella had produced twin blind, deaf and dumb daughters to one of the MACLURE family members. The girls were kept in a private Home in Edinburgh until they died around 1940. It was believed that Bella spent all her time off with her daughters and used every penny she saved to buy them luxuries.
At 10 Lincoln Green, Chichester we have a lovely Fire-screen depicting in embroidery Joseph being stripped of his "Coat of Many Colours" by his brothers before being thrown into a well. Mum and Dad gifted to us when they left Balhouffie, as no other member of the family apart from me had shown an interest in the CASEBY and RODGER family genealogy. This happened during a holiday with Mum and Dad at Balhouffie from16/04/1992, Both Mum and Dad understood that the tapestry had been worked by Bella's (and her sister Margaret's) Grandmother, Isabella DALL, wife of William RODGER, or by one of the RODGER wives of one of their Great Uncles with the maiden surname of BELL, around 1815.
Towards the end of her life my mother told me that when Bella Rodger died at Newmills Manse she left everything to Mum and Dad in her will. She said she had money but none was ever found. Her solicitor was a relation who left for South America when she died. Bella had inherited her late parent's home at Burnside House, Lundin Links, Fife and Dad was left this property in her Will. Bella was of course sister to Margaret Rodger, wife of John Caseby, Dad's parents. (This belief that he had been cheated out of the money left to him was probably why Dad was adamant from that date onwards that relations who were in the legal profession should not be used by family members for private business.)
Concerning the house Dad was told that by a local Builder that the Burnside House property was only fit to be demolished as it was in a dangerous state. Dad, believing the informant, sold it to him for £30. It was almost immediately let out in 1937 with little done to it. The house was still in use at Easter 1992 when I and my family motored past it with the Tapestry in the car boot, and also when my brother Cyril visited it in March 2003!
When my father visited the house in late 1937 it had been vandalised and all the valuable contents had been stolen from it. It was some time before Dad was able to visit what remained of his inheritance again in late 1937. A few items remained and these included the Fire-screen which was a glazed wall hanging picture. About 1943 Dad had Willie Hunter, the Newmills Joiner, change it into a Fire-screen. I was only about 6 or 7 years old at this time but I recall being told by Dad that it had been stitched by a cousin with the surname of WEST or WATSON, who had married one of the Margaret RODGER's many Uncles.
I recall checking this information about 1959 at Carlops Manse when two MACLURE ladies called. Bella had been their Nanny and then Personal Servant until about 1935 when she became too ill to work. Their opinion was that the tapestry had been sown by a May WEST who was a cousin of either Bella or of Bella's mother, Margaret Barnet Angus (which would make her Bella's second cousin). The screen depicts Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers. My recollection is that in 1955 the Carpenter at Drumoak, Aberdeenshire, made some repairs to the Fire-screen and that. There may be newspapers from that time, or earlier in the back to prove this.
Mum was never sure if the contents of Bella's "Kist" (as Bella called her money and papers box) had been stolen by her Solicitor cousin. Mum recalled that Bella burned a lot of papers some of which might have been share certificates a few days before she died and that this might explain the missing money, or that Bella wanted to destroy details that would reveal the location of her secret child or children.

Posted on 07/31/2009 9:15:04 AM PDT by Cinnamon GirlEdited on 07/31/2009 10:07:21 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
WASHINGTON - When I ask a liberal American Jew involved in politics what he thinks of the claim that Rahm Emanuel is an anti-Israeli fifth column in the Obama administration, he laughs. "So, do they really think in Israel that Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Dan Shapiro, Mara Rudman, Dennis Ross and the other good American Jews who work with Obama are a fifth column?" And then he says slowly, like someone explaining something to a person who has difficulty understanding: "How many times do you have to be told ... "
"... that you love us?" I try to complete the sentence.
"No. That your policy is screwed up." The most interesting stories about Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, are recounted with the recording device turned off. "He has a good memory, and I don't want a dead fish delivered to me," snickers one of interviewees. Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a pollster who predicted a significant gap to the detriment of the candidate for whom Emanuel was working then, at the beginning of his impressive career.
While associates of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are convinced that Emanuel is inciting the U.S. president against Israel behind the scenes - and providing the amateurish psychological explanation that he is "a Jew consumed by self-hatred" - people in Washington who disapprove of his conduct don't look for profound psychological motives. Indeed, some sum up their viewpoint simply by saying: "He's a jerk."
With his coarse short-temperedness, Emanuel stands out even in a city like Washington, D.C, about which Obama himself once said, quoting president Harry S. Truman: "They say if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."
Rahm is just a Socialist JINO (Jewish in Name Only).
"(Jewish in Name Only)" = Bingo.
Rahm is a commie. That's all there is to it.
"Rahm Emanuel: Self-hating Jew or peace-broker?"
No, Rahm is an Israel-hating Jew.
Can I vote for "Walking Turd"?
What about "neo-liberal?" ;)
From the article: "...The enrichment menu included ballet lessons and visits to shows and museums. They also attended demonstrations with their mother, an activist for Afro-American civil rights, who was also arrested several times. Although Rahm did not pursue a career as a professional dancer, he inspired a spate of articles that presented him as proof of the fact that it's possible to be both macho and a ballet dancer."
Bibi in the IDF.
"Rahm is just a Socialist JINO (Jewish in Name Only)."
Perfect term: JINO!
Emanuel is a .....(I'm a lady I can't type what I am thinking)
High Volume.
My money's on psychopath.
Great photo, Cinnamon Girl!
Have you checked out Robert Avrich's website? http://www.seraphicpress.com/
He also wrote the article "Help, I'm A Hollywood Republican" in David Horowitz's Front Page Magazine:
If Rahm is your broker, you better look for dead fish in your annual statement
If Rahm is your broker, you would discover he has been short selling into a rising market. Or at least, only siding with your enemies and telling you it will improve your position in the "real negotiations"
Honestly, Rahm and the other Obama servants are convinced that they must throw the Israeli Jews under the bus in order to make the US Jews popular in the Democratic party. Its probably that simple.
He's not a Jew, He'd have to be human to be a Jew, and he's not either. He is of the Cast Down...the Damned.
"No, Rahm is an Israel-hating Jew."
and an America-hating Chicagoan
power hungry freak
Rahm Emanuelle is a hyperactive lunatic. He doesn't even know why he does what he does but America will suffer for it if it gets implemented
He is a self hating Jew but is so busy with his socialist power grab that he could care less
Maybe... But definitely a sociopath.
My money is on closet queer with severe daddy issues.
Daddy doesn't approve of his queer ballernia son.
Daddy loves Israel, fought for it.
Ergo, son hates Israel.
The really disturbing thing is that his brother Zeke, from what I've read, almost makes him look normal.
I don't think one can make a real distinction between hating Israel and hating Jews. Israel is, in today's world, essential to the survival of the Jewish peope, so to wish for the state to be destroyed is to seek the destruction of all Jews.
Exactly. I just watched "One Day in September" again on Tisha B'Av. No country will look out for us the way Israel will.
Anti-Semitism doesn't go away; it seems to be more accepted now, among what are supposed to be decent people, than 20 years ago.
The state of Israel is important both as a symbol and as a geographic reality.
With his coarse short-temperedness, Emanuel stands out even in a city like Washington, D.C.Because of the tax evasion?
Rahm is a putz who works for a schmuck.
He's a kapo..
Do you mean he's the only top tier Obama appointee who has not been linked to tax evasion? (LOL!!!)

Gartner: 80 Percent of Businesses Will Never Adopt Windows 8
Jason Mick
October 22, 2012 4:08 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Analysts argue Windows 8 does not bring a compelling set of features for business users, drawing Vista comparisons
Windows 8 lands on Friday, and with it the big question of whether the consumer-friendly operating system is as good a fit as previous versions of Windows, which were more stodgy and business-minded from an interface perspective.
I. Businesses May Not Want Windows 8
While there have been some opinionated folks
the merits
of Windows 8
for business users, the greater sentiments of the business community towards the upcoming product remain largely unknown. Currently an estimated 41 percent of the world's 1.5 billion PCs run Windows XP. In other words, in the near term, many businesses are still working on their Windows XP to Windows 7 transition plan and have
little thoughts on Windows 8 adoption
Analysts are still busily debating the merits of the upcoming Microsoft Corp. (
) OS product, whose
early adoption rates are trailing those of Windows 7
Michael Cherry
in a recent briefing, "Some organizations, when they look at Windows 8 Intel tablets, they are going to like them because they are manageable. When they look at RT they are going to be disappointed, because it's no easier to manage than an iPad."
In other words, x86 tablets -- like those bearing Intel Corp. (
) chips -- may bear an advantage for businesses over current tablets, but Windows RT tablets (built with ARM chips) will likely not.
Gartner, Inc. (
) analyst Michael Silver says he expects Windows 8 to never catch on to the extent of Windows XP or Windows 7, even years down the road. He comments, "We believe 90 percent of large organizations will not deploy Windows 8 broadly, and at its peak, we expect about 20 percent of PCs in large organizations will run Windows 8."

Doug Johnson, head of risk management policy at the
American Bankers Association
, similarly argues to
, "Windows 8 is, frankly, more of a consumer platform than it is a business platform, so it's not something that makes any sense from a business perspective at this juncture. There is really no additional business functionality that Windows 8 gives you that I see."
II. Does it Matter?
Increasingly Microsoft's revenue stream is
driven by licensing software
(such as Office and SQL Server 2008), rather than licensing operating systems. Last year OS sales only accounted for 25 percent of Microsoft's bottom line versus 30 percent five years ago.
And a large portion of OS revenue -- roughly 40 percent -- comes from bulk licensing agreements with free upgrade provisions. For that type of licenses, IT departments' decision to adopt or pass on a particular version of Windows makes no difference, as long as the business is using some version of the OS.
In other words, as murky as Windows 8's business fate may be, the impact of those long-term sales on Microsoft's bottom line is even more unclear. That said, the general air of skepticism from business users is a concern for Microsoft in the long term, and definitely something Microsoft will (or, at least, should) take into acount when crafting Windows 8's successor.
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

We also have a bespoke framing service.
Please email email@example.com who will be happy to help you with your framing needs.
If you ever have any questions and need a rush delivery, we are on hand to help you.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 020 7908 1615 if you have any queries.
CultureLabel.com brings together a highly curated collection of art and artist-designed products from leading museums, galleries and artists to buy in one basket.
The price you pay with us is the same as if you go direct to our partners, the only difference is you can buy from all of them together at once.
This also means that different items in an order may arrive separately. Our partners strive to dispatch goods within 6 working days of the order being placed, and you'll get an email to confirm this.
If you need a rush delivery please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
When you order an item through CultureLabel.com, you are buying from our partners who send it to you directly which means individual postage costs will apply from each individual vendor.
We want you to be completely happy with any item purchased through CultureLabel.com
If for any reason you don't like an item when it arrives, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it and the arts partner that supplied it will issue a refund or replacement.
If you aren't happy with your purchase, if it gets damaged in transit, or if it becomes faulty please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we shall provide you with details on how to return it direct to the supplier.
For hygiene reasons, earrings for pierced ears cannot be returned. Personalised items are also excluded.
If the item is damaged in transit, incorrectly supplied, or develops a fault, we will refund the cost of postage.
In all other cases, you'll need to cover the cost of returning the item. We recommend you obtain proof of postage (free from the Post Office) as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in the post.
This does not affect your statutory rights.
Our partners aim to send out all items within 2 days of receiving the order. Many of our partners are individual artists & designers, or small shops within art galleries and museums, and so tend to have less resource than a high street brand for organising deliveries and returns.
If you're in the same country as the supplier, please allow 7 days for your order to arrive. For further afield, please allow up to 2-3 weeks. This estimate does not apply to art orders - please see below for further details.
For the Royal Parks Foundation deckchairs and made to order items please allow 4 - 8 weeks.
You should be offered a tracking number and/or delivery date in the email confirmation from the supplier.
Any questions please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your order hasn't arrived within 7 days (from sellers in the same country) or between 2-3 weeks (for international vendors), please get in touch with CultureLabel and we'll check for any further updates from the seller on your behalf.
We work closely with our partner galleries to ensure that the utmost care is taken to get the item transported to you in its finest condition.
Since artworks, delivery locations and requirements are always different, we are unable to offer a flat-fee delivery price for transporting fragile art.
We therefore ask you to pay for the piece online, and then the gallery will contact you shortly afterwards by phone to arrange delivery and payment.
Depending on the size, weight, materials and location, we will identify the most suitable and cost effective way of getting the item to you. Please allow up to 6 weeks to receive art pieces.
If you're unsure about any part of the ordering, delivery or returns process, please get in touch with us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get straight back to you.

January 4, 2010 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Per Participant Rate Increase
SUBJECT 2: Using Loving Support to Glow and Grow in WIC- Breastfeeding Training
SUBJECT 3: MOWINS Reports
SUBJECT 4: WIC Laptops- Safe Boot
SUBJECT 5: Risk Factor Assignment Issues in MOWINS
SUBJECT 6: Enfamil Premium - Name and Label Changes
SUBJECT 7: EleCare Formulas – Description Changes
SUBJECT 8: Welcome to WIC Brochure (English)
SUBJECT 9: Future Revisions to the Medical Documentation Form (WIC 27) – Deadline January 11, 2010
- Per Participant Rate Increase: The per participant rate for FY2010 will increase from $10.30 to $12.00 for your contracted caseload retroactive to October 1, 2009. We specifically requested and in mid December received additional funding from USDA for local agency WIC services. We know many agencies are struggling to meet their growing caseloads and maintain vital services with dwindling local resources. These additional funds can be used to further compensate for the cost of providing local WIC services.
The increased funding requires an amendment to your 2010 WIC services contract. We have prepared the paperwork, and it is moving through the Department's approval process. As soon as we know the amendments are ready to be sent, we will notify agencies via the WIC Update. Agencies will need to sign and return the amendment. When the signed contract amendment is received, we will immediately increase the funding in the agency's Personnel Compensation line in the online invoicing application. If the agency wants to change the budget line amount, they will use the online Budget Adjustment. If you have any questions on this increase, please contact your TA staff.
- Using Loving Support to Glow and Grow in WIC- Breastfeeding Training: The State WIC office has had e-mails from LWPS regarding the mandatory breastfeeding training scheduled in 2010 throughout Missouri. USDA is putting a huge emphasis on breastfeeding including providing additional funds to states to increase their breastfeeding rates, and thus they have made this training mandatory for all local and state WIC staff. Clerks, WIC Certifiers, HPAs and WIC Coordinators only need to attend day 1 of this 2 day training. CPAs and nutritionists are requested to attend both days. Exceptions are being made for those that have a strong background in lactation management and have recently attended Breastfeeding Peer Counseling or Breastfeeding Coordinator training.
Computer based training and webinars are useful alternatives to face to face trainings, but do not allow for the level of interaction needed for this particular training.
We have added another Clay County and Joplin training to the list. We are also looking at adding another training in Springfield. Each training site needs to accommodate 40-50 attendees. Training registration begins at 8:00 with the actual training to begin at 8:30. This USDA training was originally a three day training. We worked to decrease it to a two day training. All local agencies were given additional funds (Special Funding – Grant 5 of the LAP) for this training. These funds can be used for travel, staff time, lodging, and meals.
- MOWINS Reports: The WIC MOWINS Reports request website will be unavailable during the month of January 2010. Modifications are being made so that more detailed information about the requested report can be collected. It should be available again on February 1, 2010 or shortly thereafter.
If you have questions, please contact Melissa Seaver at email@example.com.
- WIC Laptops- Safe Boot: All WIC laptops that are state owned (have both WIC and DHSS/OA tags) will soon have Safe Boot installed on them. Safe Boot is a utility that encrypts all data on the laptop so that if the laptop is lost or stolen, the data cannot be viewed because the person will not have the password. Because of this, the password must be protected and not be written down so others can see it. ITSD staff will contact you to set up a time to install Safe Boot on your laptops. It will take from about 30 minutes to one hour to do it, depending on the number of laptops and the speed of your network connection.
If you have questions, please contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Risk Factor Assignment Issues in MOWINS:
- When a child's BMI is greater than 99%, the system is not plotting the result on the chart nor assigning risk factor 113 (Overweight (Children). In these cases, the LWP will need to document in the chart that the risk factor has been assigned by certifying staff. The criteria for assigning this risk factor has not changed (e.g. Children > 24 months to 5 years: > 95th percentile BMI-for-Age or > 95th percentile weight-for-stature based on age/sex specific growth charts. Children 24 to 36 months with a recumbent length > 95th percentile weight-for-length based on age/sex specific growth charts.)
- There have been questions about the system assigning both risk factor 103 (Underweight and At Risk of Becoming Underweight (I, C) and 114 (At Risk of Becoming Overweight). This is not an error. When the infant's weight is less than or equal to the 10th percentile for Weight-for-Length risk factor 103 is assigned. When the infant's record is also linked with the record of the mother whose BMI was 30 at the time of certification or at any point in the first trimester of pregnancy risk factor 114 will be also be assigned.
- Enfamil Premium - Name and Label Changes: Mead Johnson Nutritionals (MJN) will change Enfamil Premium LIPIL name and label effective February 1, 2010.
Name: Enfamil Premium LIPIL becomes Enfamil Premium Infant
Label: A new duck character will replace the Peter Rabbit bunny on the front label panel.
Enfamil Premium LIPIL
Enfamil Premium Infant
Peter Rabbit Bunny
A New Duck Character
The food descriptions in MOWINS will be updated to allow participants to purchase either Enfamil Premium LIPIL (old name) or Enfamil Premium Infant (new name) at WIC vendors. According to MJN, Enfamil Premium with the new label may start appearing at WIC vendors sometime in March 2010. The State WIC office will provide more information (e.g. new labels) on the change through the WIC update. If you have any questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- EleCare Formulas – Description Changes: Effective February 1, 2010, the descriptions of EleCare formulas will be revised as shown below:
Eligible Category
Old Names in MOWINS
New Names in MOWINS
EleCare DHA/ARA
EleCare DHA/ARA (Unflavored)
EleCare (Unflavored)
EleCare DHA/ARA
EleCare DHA/ARA (Unflavored/Vanilla)
EleCare (Unflavored/Vanilla)

TRENTON, N.J.—The Mercer County Library System recently launched a "blog" to provide its patrons with a collaborative outlet of current information about upcoming programs, library resources and services, library news and events at its nine branch libraries.
Blog visitors are encouraged to post their comments and suggestions for future postings and provide valuable feedback for staff to provide the high service, quality, and excellence for which the library system has been nationally recognized.
The blog can be accessed through the home page of the library's website, www.mcl.org, or directly at http://mercercountylibrary.blogspot.com. Library staff will be posting entries regularly to the blog, covering topics in the following areas: "Kids' Corner," written by youth services librarians and focusing on young readers; "Teen Topics," also written by youth services and focusing on teen issues; "What's New?," highlighting recently acquired books, movies and music; "Reference," written by reference staff will offer research tips; "Tech Tips," featuring information about library technology and useful hints about computers and electronics; and the "Office Guru," which will offer pointers on Microsoft Office software programs.
In February 2009, the Mercer County Library System was ranked among the nation's best libraries. The Mercer County Library System earned a five-star rating from the Library Journal, one of just three libraries in New Jersey to receive this top honor, and only three other libraries in the state achieved a star-rating.
The Mercer County Library System, made up of nine conveniently located branches, recognizes that access to information empowers individuals with knowledge and opportunity. The Library System is committed to providing the materials and services that satisfy the educational, informational, recreational, and cultural needs of its diverse community and strives to encourage a lifelong interest in reading.

For those who haven't seen these earlier threads:
Hagi Ware (for Japanese green tea
A Short Progression of Hagi Ware (with photos!)
I own several pieces of Hagi, most of which haven't been posted yet. Must get around to it one of these days.
At the moment, TeaChatters seem to be particularly enthusiastic about oni-hagi (Deishi Shibuya) and "Seigan blue" hagi (Seigan Yamane). I love those too, and have cups/bowls made by both potters. However, there are many other styles of hagi; Chip's loquat-glazed guinomi is a case in point. The "Short Progression" thread includes some other examples that many people probably wouldn't even recognize as Hagi ware at first glance. I haven't seen many examples of amamori ("leaky-roof", i.e. spotted) hagiware here, for example. It would be easy to amass a vast collection of hagiware whose pieces (in terms of glaze and "feel") have little resemblance to one other - that's how varied it can be!
I voted "4-5" because of the (belated) realization that I actually treasure my pottery more when I have fewer pieces, not more. But, I can completely sympathize those who said "Infinity"
P.S. In my cup: some very delicious Old Bush Dan Cong from Tea Habitat.
P.P.S. Here's an example of the amamori type:

I received the No Yell Bell to review, and at first when I saw it I thought - but it's just a bell! Once we took it out of the box and actually tried out all of the different features we fell in love with it! My husband is a teacher and uses this in his classroom now not only to get the kids attention but also as a game timer too!

We loved the bell. It was really good for listening activities like tidy up time and come together time. The children respond well to the different sounds. We even used it on our sports day for leading the cheering and encouraging everyone to clap.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (70 votes).
In short: Fantastic event, perfectly marshalledDate of review: August 23, 2005
In short: An absolutley superb race- one of a kind! Definite chance of a PB, but only for this course as the race is that unique. That will be my aim for next year!!!!Date of review: August 23, 2005
In short: do this once and you'll be backIn full: Well, 2nd year and those hills don't get any flatter! Will be back next year hoping for cooler weatherDate of review: August 22, 2005
In short: Unique. Magic. Special.In full: "Did you beat the train?" people ask. No, not even close, but I got a good way further than last time before the second train passed me! Brilliant atmosphere and organisation. Nicely turned out locos too (essential, one feels, for a race of this nature :).Date of review: August 22, 2005
In short: This race is crazy !! VERY ENJOYABLE, a great day out for the whole family !!!!In full: Apart from the one mile between 7 & 8 which could be classed as being complete madness ( I would love to see the risk assesment for that mile LOL), the course is fab, the views are amazing (thats if your not looking at your feet) and the marshalls friendly.The hard training obviously worked as I ran loads quicker than I hoped and so get a PB.The beer tent at the end was a great welcome and it was so nice not to be robbed blind by the organizers.Cant wait to try again next year to try and beat at least the 2nd train.Date of review: August 22, 2005
In short: Not a 10k pb...In full: Good fun and nothing really bad to say. My only changes would be:Organisation and information a bit sketchy. Pre-race didn't know whether I had to order a train ticket etc. baggage deposit, parking and other small things all a bit obvious but still uncertain.Apart from this is was still great... would have liked more mud ;-)Date of review: August 22, 2005
In short: A grand day outIn full: Having no opportunity to overtake on the track on the way back made the whole thing that much better (as I could go slower and enjoy the scenery). Missed the train both ways but great support and atmosphere. In short brilliant.Date of review: August 22, 2005
In short: Hot! Very Hard but fun and well organisedDate of review: August 22, 2005
In short: Well organised, well supported and well worth the 500 mile round trip.Date of review: August 22, 2005
In short: Well organised and a great day out for the whole family. The whole town seemed to turm out to cheer competitors on. Date of review: August 22, 2005

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A definite 'do again' raceIn full: A wonderful race: other races should learn how this is done properly. Pre-race was a dream: numbers posted out; baggage system very smooth; plenty of toilets. Race itself: friendly and numerous pacers (first time apparently - a great touch); lots of water; drinks and gels stations on the course (brilliant scenery). A few challenging but relatively short hills, but overall, reasonably flat. Great support in the villages. Nice finish in the racecourse. Afterwards: showers available (albeit cold) and everything on hand that was needed.Minor problems: one water station was about to run out of water (though sports drinks still available), and I could really have done with a massage at the end, but they were full up when I got there.Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Well organised and a gorgeous courseIn full: Good varied course with a few hills to keep it interesting in the first half, Cheshire lanes and villages giving way to a lovely shady path at half way (might be tricky it the number of runners increases a lot in the future), and growing enthusiastic support towards the end. Excellent marshalling: four water stations worked well, start and finish well organised. Good friendly feel all round: looks like the park and village would keep spectators entertained while we were running. Will be back.Date of review: September 9, 2013
In short: Excellent Race - as everIn full: Fab race - great organisation; superb marshals; a couple of challenging hills. Even saw some sun this time (well, a little bit). All done with a quirky sense of humour and great enthusiasm. Will be back, even though I was a couple of minutes slower than last year (coming back from injury).Date of review: December 10, 2012
In short: Friendly, and better organised than last yearIn full: Slight change to route from last year, but better organised: still have a suspicion it is measured short. Water station placed earlier, but they could do with a second one. Entry was cheap, and the goody bag basic, which was fine, but a medal would be nice. But I still really enjoy this race, and I'll be back.Date of review: June 24, 2012
In short: Second time for me - I have issues, but I'll do it againIn full: The most 'everyman' race I ever do, so a very low intimidation factor. Runs like clockwork, and a nice flat route. Only potential downsides are the numbers of runners, and the number of runners who over-estimate their capabilities: without this, this is a definite PB course, but you do have to run round a lot of walkers from very early on. Oh, and can we get rid of the big red monstrosity we have to run past at 4 and 7K - no, probably not. But home town 10K: have to do it really - I know I will regret it if I ever miss it out.Date of review: May 22, 2012
In short: Loved every minute - really well organised and supportedDate of review: April 20, 2012
In short: Scenery and organisation excellentIn full: Overall there is very little to fault this race, even if it is a long way to travel (for me, anyway!). Registration and pasta party the evening before was appreciated; bussed up to the start Sunday morning. Tea and biscuits available (free) while we waited for the start. The race itself was gorgeous - first 6 miles or so mainly off-road, on various surfaces ranging from forest land-rover tracks to narrower paths, and undulating at this stage, though nothing horrendous. Last 10K downhill on the road (following the accompanying 10K race route) and although the road wasn't shut (the edge of the road coned-off) it was well marshalled throughout. Enthusiastic support once back in the town. Definitely a "do-againer"Date of review: November 1, 2011
In short: Some downsides, but really enjoyable.In full: OK - there are some problems here. Only one water station en route, and the water at the end had run out when I got there. What is difficult here? You know how many start - make sure there is one bottle each at the end. Also no medal - I don't know how much these cost, but it must be worth adding. That said, I really enjoyed the race and will definitely do it next year. I love running at Eastlands, and the athletics stadium is gorgeous. Much less crowded than the BUPA Great Manchester rub, but still a mass appeal race. I'll bring a bottle next time!Date of review: July 3, 2011
In short: A bit dull in parts, but excellent support around the turn. Mainly flat.In full: Starts (and finishes) at the Don Valley stadium, which is always nice - makes you feel like a 'proper' athlete, and good for spectators. Well organised generally. The exit is a little crammed, but nothing excessive, and once out of the stadium, there is a slight downhill, and then into a flat run into the town centre. Unfortunately, this a little dull - through industrial East Sheffield, and a little lacking in support there. Once into the town centre proper, the support picked up, and once past the Sheffield United ground, the crowds were linig the streets, particularly on Eccleshall Road around the turn. Once round and heading back, decent support back into the town centre, but the last 3 and a half miles or so are back to the more industrial part, and support was more patchy (though really appreciated when we got it). The finish is a little hard - you can see the stadium quite a long way before you get there, and you have to run past and round the back before you get in it. Then it is along the top of the far terracing, back out briefly and back in for the finishing straight. Sorted! Other aspects: water stations - cups are really not that helpful, but the water sponge station was good. Goody bag - hmmmm: T-shirt fairly bog standard, a cereal bar, a charity badge (?), and an offer for a gym. Not really up to standard. Marshalling was very good, and very supportive. I'll do it again, though!Date of review: May 11, 2011
In short: Nice combination of closed roads and scenic Sefton ParkIn full: Terrible weather not withstanding, good event that coped well with all the rain. Is there any way the start/finish could be moved off the field? Aside from that, this is an excellent race - an annual event from now on!Date of review: October 3, 2010

In recent years worldwide grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems deployment, in residential, commercial, and utility scale markets, is experiencing significant growth. With the increasing share of distributed, independent power producer (IPP) and utility owned generation portfolios, these PV plants' components, especially the inverters, are commanding a greater level of attention to assure availability and performance. A recent study by one of the major PV fleet operators with 500 PV plants concluded that PV inverters are responsible for the 69% of the recorded downtime event. There have been several reported incidents in Europe where emissions from PV inverters have interfered with electronic revenue metering. With increased PV inverter deployment there is an increased need to share selection and qualification and documentation best practices that lead to improved plant reliability and uptime.
The work discussed here addresses key issues and describes utility current practices for selecting, qualifying and accepting PV inverters. Presently there are no complete performance criteria for grid-connected inverters. As penetration levels rise, utilities will increasingly need clear, complete specifications that can be easily referenced and broadly supported. Considering the interconnection resemblance and maturity, electricity metering industry specifications are closely studied to provide insight into the nature and extent of criteria needed for PV inverters. This report also provides a brief description of existing electric grid interconnection, communication, and safety standards and certifications applicable to PV inverters. Commercially available utility-scale (= 250kW) grid-connected inverters are studied and comparisons are made in terms of various parameters including DC, AC, environmental, and communication.

Gene, are you absolutely sure the package said 10 lbs of water, rather than 9 lbs of water.
Some time ago, out of curiosity, I took a look at the Shakey's nutrition information, such as given at http://www.shakeys.com/Libraries/PDFS/Shakey_s_Nutritional_Info.sflb.ashx, to see if it was possible to tell much about the Shakey's ingredients from that information. Unfortunately, what I learned is that the Shakey's thin crust pizzas were cut "family" or "party" style. That meant irregularly-shaped slices or pieces such as shown, for example, at http://s3.amazonaws.com/foodspotting-ec2/reviews/1142516/thumb_600.jpg?1324368225. Is that type of cut standard at Shakey's for their thin style pizzas or can one request pie-shaped slices. The Shakey's nutrition information simply says slices for the basic cheese pizza, which is the simplest to analyze because it contains the fewest components. Looking at the nutrition information for the individual thin crust pizza with four slices, I would imagine that those four slices are pie-shaped. But maybe that is not a cracker style pizza.Peter
Not absolutely, but pretty sure. Let me see if I can find out.
Can you confirm this is correct? This would mean I need to add some more malted barley.

Globalfoundries on Monday said that it had successfully taped out a 20nm test chip using flows from leading EDA vendors Cadence Design Systems, Magma Design Automation, Mentor Graphics Corp., and Synopsys. Globalfoundries said that it is ready for customers to begin evaluating their 20nm designs. The 20nm process adds several advanced manufacturing rules and requires tool providers to collaborate with foundry partners early in the development cycle.
"Our model of early collaboration with EDA partners accelerates the overall development cycle, and gives customers accessibility to the inner workings of the process so they can begin targeting their designs to the most advanced manufacturing capabilities with confidence. This success is a major achievement toward market readiness of our newest process, and we will continue to enhance the design enablement support available for it," said Mojy Chian, senior vice president of design enablement at Globalfoundries.
All four EDA companies have demonstrated that their place-and-route (P&R) tools and tech files are capable of supporting the advanced rules associated with the 20nm process. The flows include library preparation steps for double patterning technology, a complex lithography approach that raises new challenges for designers at 20nm and beyond. The 20nm test chip requires double patterning and was implemented with each EDA partner contributing a large placed and routed design. Prior to tape out, each design was thoroughly validated by Globalfoundries and checked against 20nm sign-off verification decks. Early and extensive 20nm collaboration with each EDA partner resulted in all designs being closed rapidly for a successful tapeout.
In addition to demonstrating full support for all of the key steps in a 20nm P&R flow, including double patterning library preparation, placement, clock tree synthesis, hold fixing, routing and post route optimization, Globalfoundries worked with each of the EDA suppliers to include the necessary setup and support for technology and mapping files. The flow will also demonstrate foundry support for extraction, static timing analysis and physical verification. Globalfoundries will make the design, libraries, and complete vendor flow scripts available to customers who wish to evaluate 20nm technology.
