This one looks waaay more promising... I checked back with member ThatsAmore yesterday and he said he couldn't get a response from the company. Anyone have an idea how to contact? Bob
I sent an email to the company in South Africa that makes that manual dough sheeter, and got the price quote back today: $1,267.35 U.S. Dollars. So although it's a better machine, I probably won't be ordering one.
What ever happened to the old fashion rolling pin? Pie pin? Hand tossing? Table stretching?My favorite when making pizza at home is to use a pin to open the dough up to about 2/3 of the finished diameter (pretty easy to do) then table stretch or hand toss to final size. Note: I have gravitated to table stretching at home due to the fact that hand tossing creates a bit of a mess with getting flour all over the place. Table stretching is a lot less messy when you're making pizza at a friends home too.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Here's one just for BOB http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-A-SEEWER-RONDO-SYN503-T-Reversible-Sheeter-Works-Good-no-belts-/281077556388?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41718724a4#ht_7046wt_958 Finders Fee?
I asked my daughter to shoot some video of the manual dough sheeter, which she did. Then she put her editing skills to work and made a video about the pizza I made with it. Regards,TinRoof
That's an awesome video, TinRoof. Can I marry your daughter? Also, how'd you like to sell me that thing if you ever move on to something better? It takes so much work for me to roll my Tommy's style (and Shakey's style) laminated skins, especially when I make two or three of them for parties. It takes more than 30 minutes of sweaty work to roll, trim, and scale each 15" 8-layer skin. (It usually takes a few trim-and-scales, and it's very hard to keep the skin from shrinking several inches after I trim it and unpeel it from my mostly-unfloured work surface.) Man I wish I had even the simplest manual sheeter for that.
I have several of what are probably the least expensive dough rollers/sheeters ever made. The more expensive one have handles to hold onto that connects to a central axle around which a wood or metal barrel rotates. This one is called a "rolling pin" the other is nothing more than a 2" diameter piece of round hardwood 14" long. This one is commonly referred to as a pie pin. Both work great on pizza dough, croissant dough, sweet dough, donut dough, biscuit and yes, even "pie" dough. Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
yes, for croissant dough, i can see using a sheeter...i found this company in south africa, dealing with another piece of equipment and came across this manual machine....not sure how much it is, but it looks like a good piece of equipment.

Balancing The Constitution's Stance On Guns
Our county legislature has had two votes about gun violence, one vote each in its last two sessions. The vote in May was about newspapers printing the names of people who had gun permits.
It was said that the printing of the names of those who got a gun permit is an example of an assault on our rights as Americans, our Constitutional rights. It was said that we have a right of privacy, preserved to us in the Tenth Amendment. We have the right to own guns, which the motion of the legislature had in its first paragraph, quoting the Second Amendment, "the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." The motion also said that the right to bear arms was perfectly clear. However, the full Second Amendment reads, "A well regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." One could say that owning guns shall be well regulated; that the purpose of owning a gun is to protect the free State, not your own home from burglars. Men in the militia had to buy their own rifle. The militia was there instead of having to pay an army all the time when there was no war. So the Second Amendment is not perfectly clear because the connection between the militia and people owning guns is not clear.
There were two views of the newspaper printing the names of the gun owners. One view was that it was the newspaper "entering" people's homes, violating their privacy. The second view was that the newspaper was "entering" government transactions. So it was a First Amendment issue – the freedom of the press, whose purpose is to keep us informed on what the government is doing, in order for we the people to have oversight on what we are doing through the people we elected to work for us. So yes, we even find out if people are being given Social Security cards so that no one is refused a Social Security card by mistake or by prejudice.
Some of our rights that apply to gun ownership are in the Preamble of the Constitution which reads, "WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of a Liberty to ourselves and our Prosperity…." The challenge for all of us is not only what are our gun ownership rights, but how do we decide on issues in which several rights are involved and those rights overlap, so that where if one right is emphasized, another right is weakened. That is why one legislator said that you cannot weaken the freedom of the press, while others said they did not want the freedom to own a gun weakened, or their right of privacy weakened.
The right to domestic tranquility is another right not to be weakened. Domestic tranquility means than freedom from riot and insurrection. Domestic tranquility includes neighbors treating each other kindly, so that there is freedom from fear, or freedom to have peace. In some ways, the more guns there are, the more we emphasize the right to own guns, and the more we weaken our right to domestic tranquility.
Here are some facts about that domestic tranquility being weakened at present. States with the highest gun ownership rates have a gun murder rate 114 percent higher than those with the lowest gun ownership rates. For every time a gun is used at home for self-defense, there are seven assaults or murders with guns, eleven suicide attempts using guns, and four accidents involving guns in or around the house. In 2011, nearly ten times as more people were shot and killed in arguments than by civilians trying to stop a crime. A woman's chance of being killed by her abuser are seven times greater if her abuser has access to a gun. Women in states with higher gun ownership rates were 4.9 times more likely to be murdered by a gun than women in states with lower gun ownership rates.
For every instance of a person using a gun to protect themselves in their home, twenty-two people are hurt or killed by a gun. And ten time more people got shot in an argument. Guns are a risk to others. Since gun ownership is a risk to others, for the safety of neighbors, it would be best if they knew if their neighbor had guns. And knowing is part of why the freedom of the press is there. So for the issue of gun ownership, not only do we have the Second Amendment, we have the First, the Tenth, and the Preamble. How would you balance all those different over-lapping rights, and would your balancing be about you or your neighbor?

Post your pu-erh tasting notes here...
I'll start with some recent tastings I have notes on:
2000 Hai Wan Factory Gu Hua Cha Beeng
$free (7gr sample from Jing Tea Shop)
Medium brown/red liquor. This is one of the more earthy and woody pu-erh. There is an aroma of wood, earth, camphor, and what I thought to be black forest mushrooms. In the mouth the coarse tannin is still present abundantly (of course, this being a relatively young pu-erh at this time), and the taste of the black mushrooms is quite persistent. A slight bitter note. I like it. It's a brooding and serious pu-erh. Medium length finish.
2003 Chunming Tea Factory, Spring Sharp Raw Pu-Erh
$16 per 357gr cake
Light to medium amber-brown liquor. Smoky and woody, with a hint of citrus-y nose. Slightly astringent/tannic on the palate, typical of a too-young pu-erh. Full bodied. Very vibrant with a strong cha chi (concentration/power/taste). The life of the tea emerged starting from the 3rd infusion and last through the 6th infusion. Smoke and wood took the back seat, while fruit, floral, forest floor, and a citrus-like aromas said "Hello, we're here!" We (my wife and I) decided that the fruity nose and taste was that of apricot. Tannin was present in quite an abundance, and yet not too puckery. Very nice potential! Flavors started to dissipate a little by the 7th brew.

Microsoft Corp. on Thursday started to sell its long-awaited Windows 7 operating system. The company hopes that the new Windows will boost its revenues, whereas the whole industry expects the OS to boost demand towards personal computers in general.
"With Windows 7, there's never been a better time to be a PC. Together with our partners, we're bringing more choice, flexibility and value to the market than ever before. With Windows 7, you're sure to find a PC that fits your life" said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft.
Although Microsoft Windows operating systems are used on over a billion of personal computers used worldwide, the previous-generation Windows Vista OS appeared to be rather unpopular among end-users, partly due to issues with hardware, partly because of software incompatibilities, partly because of annoying notices, partly because of low performance, partly because of instabilities and partly because of other issues. Windows 7 is supposed to correct all the problems that users experienced with Vista.
One thing that Microsoft openly promises with Windows 7 is simplification of usage of a personal computer. Since simplification means a change compared to Windows Vista or Windows XP, it remains to be seen, whether that change actually simplifies user experience to customers, who are used to the old technology.
In addition to correcting Vista's problems, Microsoft has done a tremendous job to improve user interface as well as performance in Windows 7 and make the new OS much more user friendly overall. Windows 7 brings numerous further improvements, including DirectX 11 application programming interface that brings higher performance to specially optimized video games, support for touch-based input, more robust support of solid-state drives, more advanced power saving features, faster boot up time and other advantages.
"A project with the global customer reach of Windows can only be done as a team. We are grateful for the valuable contributions from customers, partners and developers around the world that helped make Windows 7 such a collaborative project," said Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live division at Microsoft.
The estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
The global availability of Windows 7 is joined by an unprecedented array of new PCs and software programs. With more PC options available for customers today at a wide range of price points starting under $300, customers can choose the PC that fits their personality, style and needs, from netbooks, ultrathin notebooks and highly interactive multitouch laptops to all-in-one desktops and high-end, water-cooled gaming machines.

It is common for tea lovers who become tea entreprenuers to take words with the end letters ""ty" and make them "TEA" like SimpliciTEA and CreativiTEA, PersonaliTEA.
Can these names be copy written so that no one else can use them? I would hate to see that happen, but in naming a potential business venture I would like to find this out...
I'd hate to be sued or given a "cease & desist" letter from Adagio or any other tea maker for using a comon name.
Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.

Thieves Don't Discriminate When It Comes to Identity Although the majority of identity theft victims are between 25 and 54 years old,* scammers don't discriminate. No matter who you are or what your financial standing is, you must remain cautious with your personal information. Guard important paperwork and any identifying elements, such as your Social Security number or your Community Bank account numbers.
From Tuition Fees to Scholarships
Along with mounds of paperwork to complete, most college-bound students are more concerned about how to furnish their dorm rooms. But some have succumbed to thieves who call students regarding their college loans and ask for the students' credit card numbers for special "processing fees."
The rule, as always, is to be skeptical. Advise your children or grandchildren to know exactly whom they are giving their personal information to. They shouldn't be fooled by "surprise" grants or scholarships for which they didn't apply. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Medicare Scams
Older Americans should remain just as vigilant in protecting their identities. While you already may be looking for scam artists trying to bilk money out of your estate, remember to be cautious of anyone asking for your personal information. Some criminals try to exploit the new Medicare prescription drug laws to assume your identity. When discussing your health care, just like your finances, make sure you are speaking with an identifiable professional whom you trust.
Security Is Paramount
At Community Bank, we strive to help you protect your identity. If you need advice on steps you can take to be even more vigilant, stop in today. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, alert all your financial institutions, the three major credit-reporting agencies and the police immediately.

A battery powered PICAXE module with button and potentiometer inputs and a lamp output pre-wired. Great for teaching the fundamentals of PIC control, or for general hobby use.
A PICAXE micro-controller is designed to be the brain of an electronic project. Originally designed as an educational system for schools, the PICAXE system has now been widely adopted by hundreds of thousands of hobbyists hackers and makers due to its ease of use.
The various different PICAXE chip sizes (8, 14, 18, 20, 28 and 40 pins) give great flexibility on how the system can be used - simply select the chip size required for your project. On PICAXE chips, almost all of the pins can be user-configured to be an output, a digital or analogue input or a touch sensor. Advanced features such as PWM, I2C, SPI, RS232 and 1-Wire interfacing can also be easily set if required.
PICAXE BASIC is much simpler to learn and debug than traditional micro-controller languages such as assembler code or 'C'. The BASIC programming software is completely free, and also includes a powerful on-screen simulation for testing your program.
A PICAXE chip is a standard Microchip PIC microcontroller that has been pre-programmed with the PICAXE bootstrap firmware code. The bootstrap code enables the PICAXE microcontroller to be re-programmed 'in position' directly via a simple 'three wire' download cable connection. This eliminates the need for an (expensive) conventional PIC programmer, making the whole download programming system a low-cost USB cable. The same software and download cable is used for all PICAXE chip sizes and project boards.
Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader
I ordered batteries and a set of test leads. I received them within three days of when I ordered them and I got a great price. Fast service and a great price - what more could you want.

Due to deteriorating economic conditions and decreased demand for old-generation DRAM products Micron Technology has announced that it would phase out 200mm wafer manufacturing operations at the company's Boise Idaho facility. This action will reduce employment at Micron's Idaho sites by approximately 500 employees in the near term and as many as 2000 positions by the end of the company's fiscal year.
"We remained hopeful that the demand for these products would stabilize in the marketplace and start to improve as we moved into the spring. Unfortunately, a better environment has not materialized, and we are at a point where we wanted to let our employees and the community know in advance what will occur later this summer," said Steve Appleton, Micron chairman and chief executive.
Since 200mm wafers are no longer used for manufacturing of high-end products, Micron utilized the facility to make so-called "200mm specialty" dynamic random access memory products, which most likely means that memory products and types made at the fab were outdated.
The company will continue to operate its 300mm research and development fabrication facility at the Boise site and perform a variety of other activities, including reticle manufacturing, product design and support, quality assurance, systems integration and related manufacturing, corporate and general services. These workforce changes were not anticipated or included in Micron's earlier 15% global workforce reduction announcement last October. Following these changes, Micron will employ more than 5000 in the state.
The company said that it has sufficient manufacturing capacity remaining and does not expect any disruption in product supply required for customer needs.
Cash restructuring charges will be approximately $50 million, which will generate a gross annualized operating cash benefit of $150 million. The net operating cash flow effect will be neutral for fiscal year 2009.
Micron is committed to assisting employees affected by the workforce reductions and is providing severance and outplacement services.

Hi Folks,
So I had a wee meeting and chat with Stephen about putting together a wee rehearsal/workshop studio space in Argyle house, in the old canteen. Looks like the room has a lot of potential but it'll need people to help make things happen - build stuff, paint stuff, etc. etc.
Who's game?

quote Shinobi_razorIt does yeah. And I was wrong before, you CAN quick-sell trash items at health vending machines. Quick sell only works when you're in the 'buy' menu though, not the 'sell' menu.Does it say down below what button does that with inventory open?
quote Shadow of Death(and Shinobi_razor) For PS3 you just have to keep hitting L3, it'll scroll through trash, fave then neither. Not sure how it would work on PC though.As to the fave/trash labeling system I haven't found it useful TBH. More often than not, due to the shitty consolized menu I end up accidentally faving/trashing a gun and I couldn't get it to remove the option (so if I didn't think a gun was trash, I'd have to select fave to overwrite it).
I could have sworn I saw an option to quick-sell trash items or something.
quote Paper Foxhow do you do that on console?Ditno, I didn't even know about the fave/trash thing until like...yesterday, AFTER finishing the main story. I'm using it all the time now, so useful.
quote Shinobi_razorGranted its easy, but not as flexible. You cannot do decent manouvres or strafe shoot. Its OK if you have a team mate manning the primary weapon but if you are driving and shooting alone the only viable tactic is to reverse away from, drive directly towards your foe or to completely stop altogether.the driving is just like in Halo which i love. to me its just so easy, just point the direction you want to go and push forward.
quote VicariousOMG, I totally did that. Except, with all 3 guns xDOne time I had a slag assault that had amazing damage and a perfect fire rate. So when I got it I sold all my other assault rifles to use it. Bad.. bad mistake. When the gun shot the bullets went up and then fell down like a mortar . It was extremely difficult to hit close range targets definitely when there was a lot. You aimed it like the damn grenade launchers off of COD, just pure awful. I don't know the manufacturing company for that one but lets hope it doesn't happen again.

Alger deputy may face charges in alleged assault
MARQUETTE – A deputy with the Alger County Sheriff's Department is facing possible charges following the investigation into an alleged assault of an inmate.
The deputy sheriff, whose name has not been released, is accused of assaulting 55-year-old George Young, who is currently facing eight charges of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, in December.
"There was an incident between a deputy sheriff and George Young and it's being investigated as an assault," Alger County Sheriff Robert Hughes said Tuesday.
Hughes said the deputy was placed on administrative leave following the alleged incident and that Young was then transferred to Schoolcraft County Jail at the request of his attorney, Brandon Rickard. Young has been free on bond since last week.
Young, a former employee of the HealthQuest chiropractic clinic in Munising, is facing eight charges of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, using force or coercion. The accusations are related to Young's role as a chiropractor, but Rickard has contended that nothing inappropriate took place and that any touching of patients was "in the course of treatment and necessary."
Rickard said this morning that the deputy at the center of the investigation was the husband of an alleged victim.
"We're glad (Sheriff Hughes) acknowledges the fact this incident happened, but we're a little disappointed Mr. Young was ever put in that position," he said.
Additionally, Rickard said he thinks charges should be brought against a second deputy, who allegedly removed Young from his cell and transported him to an unsecured area.
Incidents involving sheriff's deputies in the state are often investigated by the Michigan Sheriffs Special Investigation Operations Network team, which is made up of specially trained law enforcement officers from sheriff's departments around the state. The MISSION team is intended to provide "an outside, objective investigation," according to Terry Jungel, the executive director of the Michigan Sheriff's Association.
Jungel confirmed last week that the MISSION team was investigating an incident in Alger County, though he would not elaborate on specifics.
The team, he said, investigates both criminal and administrative complaints and is called in at the request of a local sheriff. Sheriff Hughes confirmed Tuesday that he had requested the investigation upon learning of the allegations in late December.
He said the MISSION team's report is complete and said it is his understanding that the Alger County Prosecutor's office had petitioned the office of the Michigan Attorney General for the appointment of a special prosecutor to the case. No charges have been filed at this time.
A representative with the attorney general's office was unable to verify whether that request had been made prior to press time today.
In addition to the criminal charges, Rickard said he will be seeking further relief on behalf of his client.
"We're going to file a … civil rights lawsuit in the federal court and we know for a fact that we are naming two deputies and the county of Alger," Rickard said. "We haven't made any further decisions, yet."

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday said its ATI Radeon graphics processor has passed interoperability testing with DisplayPort 1.1 interface. The company did not unveil which chip was used, but the announcement still emphasizes that ATI, graphics product group of AMD, is ready with its DisplayPort-compliant product.
The testing was completed with a Genesis Microchip DisplayPort 1.1 receiver. AMD is currently attending the Video and Electronics Standards Association (VESA) PlugTest in
"AMD has been driving the high-definition transition on the PC with innovative firsts such as integrated HDMI, high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) and our Unified Video Decoder (UVD). With the successful interoperability testing of the first graphics chip to feature a native DisplayPort transmitter, we are once again breaking new ground in customer-centric innovation by offering increased choice in video and display technologies to our users," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, graphics products group, AMD.
Even though the company did not unveil which graphics processor was used for interoperability testing, the firm indicated that DisplayPort interfaces are expected to be natively supported in ATI Radeon graphics processors in the early 2008 timeframe, which means that the company may already have functional products it plans to release in early 2008.
The DisplayPort is designed to enable a common interface approach across both internal and external display connections. Internal connections include display interfaces within a notebook PC or within an LCD display. External display connections include the interface between a source device such as a desktop PC, set-top box, DVD player or game console, and a display device such as a direct view flat panel or projection display for viewing video and graphics. The DisplayPort standard will also include an optional digital audio capability allowing streaming of high definition digital audio-video content over the interface, and provides performance scalability to enable the next generation of displays featuring higher color depths, refresh rates, and display resolutions.

Aug 05, 2013 06:30 PM - 08:00 PM
The Jonathan Saraga Trio live @ the Bar Next Door
New York, NY - August 5th, 2013, 6:30-8:00pm – "Saraga... is only in his mid-twenties, but plays with the wisdom and maturity of veterans more than twice his age," says Dan Bilawsky, who has been an editor for All About Jazz for the past 3 years. This quote is quite appropriate for this event specifically, because the young trumpeter and composer will be joined by two musicians that are close to double his age: drummer Jeff Hirshfiled, a native New Yorker who has appeared on over 270 recordings, and has performed with greats such as Benny Golson, Slide Hampton, and Fred Hersch, just to name a few; and bassist, Qi Gong practitioner, and Reiki Master, Scott Lee, who has performed with the likes of Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Freddie Hubbard, and many more. The combination of wisdom, creativity, and chemistry within the group is sure to make for a night of music that is not to be missed.
The group will be performing for no cover charge, as part of the Bar Next Door's "Young Emerging Artists" series, created to showcase up-and-coming talented young jazz artists in New York City; Jonathan, being one of those artists. The trio will be perform their own compositions, as well as a wide variety of other music, spanning from traditional jazz repertoire to spontaneous free-composed pieces. The Bar Next Door is located at 129 Macdougal St. in Manhattan, NY, and is part of La Lanterna di Vittorio restaurant, which features some of the finest dining NYC has to offer.
"Jonathan embodies what I feel is the best approach to modern jazz music: a thorough grounding in the rich tradition of the music coupled with a restless, searching spirit that seeks to express the music of now."
Jimmy Greene
"Hirshfield, a drummer with endless capacity for innovation."
Toronto Star
"From Scott's opening statement until the final note, it is pure music with all the mystery and magic life has to offer."

GENEVA — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Friday of significant differences between Iran and six world powers trying to fashion a nuclear agreement, as he and three European foreign ministers tried to narrow the gap. But Russia expressed optimism about a deal.
Officials had reported progress in Thursday's talks. But comments from Kerry and his counterparts from Britain, France and Germany after they arrived in Geneva clearly indicated that obstacles remain for any agreement offering sanctions reductions for nuclear concessions.
Russian news agencies reported late Friday that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov would join Kerry and the European ministers in Geneva on Saturday.
A Western diplomat in Geneva told The Associated Press that China is sending a deputy foreign minister to the talks. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to provide such information.
Earlier Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich had said Lavrov would not attend the talks, so the quick change of plans appeared significant.
Iran considers Russia most receptive to its arguments among the six world powers: the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
For that reason, Lavrov's presence would add additional muscle to efforts to seal a preliminary deal that the West hopes will culminate with serious constraints on Iran's ability to turn a peaceful nuclear program into making weapons. China also is more supportive of Iran than the United States and its allies are.
Reporting Lavrov's pending arrival, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying Russia expects the talks will produce a "lasting result expected by the international community."
The Russian statement suggested a possible narrowing of differences, hours after Kerry met first with his European counterparts, then with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Catherline Ashton, the EU's top diplomat who convened the talks.
Kerry arrived from Tel Aviv after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during which Kerry tried to defuse Israeli concerns about the Geneva talks. Israel strongly opposes any deal that even slightly lifts sanctions unless Iran is totally stripped of technology that can make nuclear arms.
The talks primarily focus on the size and output of Iran's enrichment program, which can create both reactor fuel and weapons-grade material suitable for a nuclear bomb. Iran insists it is pursuing only nuclear energy, medical treatments and research, but the United States and its allies fear that Iran could turn this material into the fissile core of nuclear warheads.
Kerry said there were "some very important issues on the table that are unresolved." He told reporters, "There is not an agreement at this point in time."
In earlier comments to Israeli television, Kerry suggested Washington was looking for an Iranian commitment to stop any expansion of nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, as a first step.
"We are asking them to step up and provide a complete freeze over where they are today," Kerry said Thursday.
The six powers negotiating with Tehran are considering a gradual rollback of sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy. In exchange they demand initial curbs on Iran's nuclear program, including a cap on enrichment to a level that can be turned quickly to weapons use.
The six have discussed ending a freeze on up to $50 billion (37 billion euros) in overseas accounts and lifting restrictions on petrochemicals, gold and other precious metals. But their proposal would maintain core sanctions on Iran's oil exports and financial sector, as an incentive for Iran to work toward a comprehensive and permanent nuclear accord.
Tehran could be pressing for more significant relief from the sanctions as part of any first-step deal. Iran's Mehr news agency quoted Iranian delegation member Majid Takht-e Ravanchi as saying his country was asking for an end to sanctions on oil and international banking transactions crippling the ability to repatriate money from oil sales.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius spoke of progress, but told reporters "nothing is hard and fast yet." He said, "We are working to reach an accord which completes the first step to respond to Iran's nuclear program."
Israel has been watching the talks warily from the sidelines. It has frequently dangled the prospect of military action against Iran should negotiations fail to reach the deal it seeks: a total shutdown of uranium enrichment and other nuclear programs Tehran says are peaceful but which could technically be turned toward weapons.
"I understand the Iranians are walking around very satisfied in Geneva as well they should because they got everything and paid nothing," Netanyahu told reporters before meeting Kerry in Tel Aviv.
Asked about Netanyahu's criticism, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said "any critique of the deal is premature" because an agreement has not been reached.
He added: "The United States and Israel are in complete agreement about the need to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."
Any agreement would be a breakthrough after nearly a decade of mostly inconclusive talks, but would only be the start of a long process to reduce Iran's potential nuclear threat, with no guarantee of ultimate success.
Tehran's chief nuclear negotiator, Abbas Araghchi, told Iranian state TV on Thursday that the six "clearly said that they accept the proposed framework by Iran."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said an initial agreement would "address Iran's most advanced nuclear activities; increase transparency so Iran will not be able to use the cover of talks to advance its program; and create time and space as we negotiate a comprehensive agreement."
Iran, which denies any interest in such weapons, currently runs over 10,000 centrifuges that have created tons of fuel-grade material that can be further enriched to arm nuclear warheads. It also has nearly 440 pounds (200 kilograms) of higher-enriched uranium in a form that can be turned into weapons much more quickly. Experts say 550 pounds (250 kilograms) of 20 percent-enriched uranium are needed to produce a single warhead.
Besides Israel, the United States also faces pressure from many U.S. lawmakers with the same demand as Netanyahu — they want enrichment to stop altogether in exchange for loosening sanctions.
Iran's new moderate leadership, meanwhile, is being pushed by hard-liners seeking significant sanctions reductions in exchange for scaling back enrichment.

The Thomas Cup or Men's World Team Championships was first staged in 1948-49, and the Uber Cup or Women's World Team Championships was added for the first time in 1956-7.
The Thomas Cup, taking place every three years, was the BWF's first major international tournament. The idea for the competition and the donation of the trophy was by the first President of the World body, Sir George Thomas, legendary player (21 All England titles) and administrator of the Sport.
The Uber Cup Finals have been held alongside the Men's competition since 1984, with both then taking place bi-ennially. The Uber Cup had previously taken place at three yearly intervals separately to the Men's competition but always with a similar format.
The trophy was presented by another famous player and the person whose original idea it was to start a team Championships for Women, the eponymous Betty Uber. Betty Uber also made the draw for the 1956-7 inaugural tournament which took place at Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, England.
The 2014 edition, the prestigious biennial team championships Thomas Cup and Uber Cup Finals will be hosted in New Delhi capital city of India from 18-25 May 2014.

International Aid
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Keith Martin Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
Mr. Speaker, I gather from the hon. minister's responses that the government has not made a contribution to this mission that is coming up. The minister speaks about the past.
On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to ask the hon. minister a very simple question. We can contribute 60 military personnel who are desperately needed right now for the African Union mission in Darfur. Is he willing to authorize that or will we simply send the tanks that the hon. Minister of National Defence wants to send some years in the future?

Peter MacKay Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
Mr. Speaker, I know the member opposite is sincere. His sarcasm is not lost on anyone when he makes these types of statements.
He knows full well that Canada has made significant contributions in the past and that we will continue to do so.
I am not going to give the member a 30 second recitation of everything that has already happened and everything that will happen in the future. His position would be much more sincere if he would cooperate and bring forward meaningful solutions as opposed to just his rhetoric that he throws around daily.
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
David Sweet Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, last week the Minister of International Cooperation and her parliamentary secretary, the member for Macleod, were in Afghanistan. They announced close to $20 million for new projects that will help the most vulnerable people of Afghanistan, women and children. They were also able to visit ongoing projects both in Kabul and Kandahar.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation tell the House the results they saw in Afghanistan and how our contribution makes a big difference for the Afghan people?
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Ted Menzies Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade and Minister of International Cooperation
Mr. Speaker, we were able to see the results of projects that the Minister of International Cooperation had announced during her first visit to Afghanistan in October. We met with several women's groups and women's entrepreneurs, benefiting from microfinanced programs. We saw the pride they take in being able to control their own destinies.
Most of all, we were able to go outside the wire from Kandahar and visit a community development council. There are over 16,000 of these councils, working democratically to rebuild their country. They want our help and we can provide our help.
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Questions
April 20th, 2007 / noon
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, after receiving only 13.8% in its discredited barley plebiscite, the government has been attempting to sell something it calls a barley clearinghouse to replace the single desk of the Canadian Wheat Board. However, for attending invitation only meetings to sell this proposal, farmers are paid $100 in cash just to show up.
Why has the government had to use Canadian taxpayer money, in $100 bills, to coerce farmers to even listen to the government's proposed alternative to the Wheat Board?
Canadian Wheat Board
Oral Questions
Christian Paradis Secretary of State (Agriculture)
Mr. Speaker, the plebiscite process we used was verified by an independent firm, and it was conducted very seriously.
Canada's new government believes that western grain farmers should have the freedom to choose how they market their grain while preserving a strong, viable Wheat Board for those who wish to use it. Sixty-two per cent of barley growers have asked for choice, and we are listening. Our department remains committed to doing everything necessary to make this happen.
Status of Women
Oral Questions
Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, since 1993, thousands of female nurses from the Philippines have come to Canada under the live-in caregiver program to take care of seniors, disabled persons and children.
These women have very few nursing tasks. They have become cheap domestic helpers for people who have the financial wherewithal, and they are losing their qualifications.
How can the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women allow her own government to perpetuate this injustice towards thousands of women, if women are so important to her?
Status of Women
Oral Questions
Diane Finley Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
Mr. Speaker, these sorts of situations are obviously of great concern to us. When we bring people to this country, they come here with the expectation of full and equal employment. That is what we demand of the employers. This is why we work with our partners right across the country to try to ensure that those situations do exist to protect these people.

Mr. Speaker, I have today the honour to present, in both official languages, the 43rd report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, regarding the membership of committees of the House.

Contraventions Act
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Keith Martin Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-431, An Act to amend the Contraventions Act and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (marihuana).
Mr. Speaker, it is with great honour and partial disappointment that I introduce this bill today. The bill calls for the decriminalization of the simple possession of marijuana. I say disappointed because this should have happened before.
The purpose of the bill is to allow casual users to possess small amounts of marijuana. Marijuana possession would still be illegal, but the person would be fined similar to receiving a traffic ticket, instead of having to go through courts if they are caught through simple possession.
I hope the money saved from this could then be used for prevention, treatment and education for children, so they will not take up marijuana and other illegal drugs and resources for rehabilitation. This will also severe the tie between the casual user and the organized crime gangs that are responsible for grow operations, which are the primary vector of funding for organized crime.
I hope this private member's will also allow us to open up a rational debate on drug policy in Canada, a debate that our police, the public, health care workers and all Canadians need for the sake of our children and all Canadians and for the sake of our safety, security and health.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)

N.Y. Power Authority Launches Recharge New York Program With Informational Meetings
Paul DeMichele
September 9, 2011
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) today announced that it will hold informational meetings throughout New York State to provide details on ReCharge New York, a new statewide economic development power program signed into law earlier this year by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo (www.governor.ny.gov/press/04142011rechargenewyork).
"ReCharge New York is a potent economic development initiative for providing eligible businesses throughout the state with low-cost electricity, to support new and existing jobs and capital expansion," said Gil C. Quiniones, NYPA's acting president and chief executive officer. "The meetings that the Power Authority will be holding throughout the state beginning next week will provide businesses with information on the key elements of the new power allocation program in order for the state to maximize the economic development benefits. I want to thank Governor Cuomo for his leadership in spearheading the legislation for making the ReCharge New York Program possible, as we look forward to carrying out his vision for economic development."
Recharge New York, which becomes effective on July 1, 2012, will make available low-cost electricity to attract new businesses and encourage existing firms and not-for-profit organizations to stay and grow in the state. Companies will be awarded power contracts based on capital investment commitments, job retention and creation, consistency with regional economic development council priorities, and other factors. Businesses participating in the program must also demonstrate a commitment to maximizing energy efficiency.
Below is a list of locations for planned informational meetings on the new power program:
Sept. 12: Lewiston
Sept. 13: Peru (near Plattsburgh) and Buffalo
Sept. 14: Massena
Sept. 14: Jamestown
Sept. 15: Watertown and Canandaigua
Sept. 16: Liverpool (near Syracuse) and Rochester
Sept. 19: Uniondale
Sept. 20: Hauppauge and Utica
Sept. 21: New York City and Elmira
Sept. 22: Binghamton
Sept. 26: White Plains
Sept. 27: Albany
Sept. 28: Newburgh
Details and a full list of venues for the meeting dates are available at: www.nypa.gov/rechargeny or by calling 888-JOBSNYS (888-562-7697).
About NYPA:

Chip, Mary, other mods: If this is in poor taste or the wrong section, discipline me accordingly. I've seen this done on wet shaving forums (with soaps and creams and blades, and the occasional razor), and on tobacco forums with cigars, pipe tobacco, and the occasional lighter or pipe. They've also done it with tea. the venerable Hobbes has contributed much. So i thought I might feel it out here.
The way it works, is that someone starts the shipment with a large box partially full of tea(s) and *maybe* some brewing vessels. People join the thread to aprticipate, and somehow (I'm not completely sure how, probably via pm and/or post order) addresses are exchanged and the box is passed on. Everyone tries some teas, and everyone adds some tea. People new to tea can feel free to try much, since there may be much to try.
So I thought maybe I'd pass along the idea before passing along any tea. I currently have one cake each of raw and cooked puerh, and one ounce of Wen Mountain Baozhong to send, along with a bag of mini tuocha in case someone is curious about them.
Some further rules:
* Each tea must be packaged to leak *minimal* odor (at least two zipper bags, but ideally enough for a perfect seal)
* Every tea must be clearly labeled
* If there is a large amount of that tea, do not take it all. Others also want to try it.
* If the amount of that tea is low, go ahead and finish it, if you want to try it.
* One must add more tea, high dollar or not.
So ... any thoughts?

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (16 votes).
In short: Great scenery, great organisation - plenty of welcome water stations.In full: Hi all at Thanet Road Runners, I just want to say a big thank you to all for the fantastic marathon on 2nd September. I really couldn't find any fault with your event, what a wonderful setting and even better volunteers on the day making it all go so well. Thanks also for all the water stations, they really helped. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is my favourite marathon so far, that includes better than London. I'm planning to be back next year with friends. > > Please pass on my thanks to all involved, a great event 10/10.> Date of review: September 14, 2012
In short: A really nice marathon, good challenging course well organised with friendly marshals and of course extra special as I had witnessed Traviss and Vanessa reaching fantastic milestones in their marathon running careers - well done to both of you! In full: Following two days of the amazing Bournemouth Air Festival it was back to marathon running business and I was extremely fortunate to get a last minute entry in the Kent Coastal Marathon from Sharon Foster of the Thanet Roadrunners AC, despite the entries having closed - cheers Sharon. I really wanted to run this one as I had found out only last week that it was going to be Traviss Willcox's 200th marathon and I really wanted to be at the finish to see him cross the line (assuming of course I finished before him - not guaranteed the way I've been running recently) and join in the celebrations - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/09/03/m35-kent-coastal/Date of review: September 5, 2012
In short: A day at the seaside AND a marathon!In full: An enjoyable day with smooth organisation and fab marshalls. Very pleasant route and lots of friendly seaside spectators to give encouragement!Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: Any race organised by Thanet Roadrunners is one you can rely on.In full: 2012 was warm for the first half, but as we went on, the weather cooled, and the last 10 miles or so were ideal. This course was a slightly amended version of those we have done in previous years, but as it took out the horrible loop round the houses in Minnis Bay, and gave those in the start/finish area an extra opportunity to cheer on their loved ones, I would say it was a big improvement.Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: Challenging half but worth itIn full: I did the half marathon route and although it was a challenging I managed a PB of just over 1.25, which got me a top ten place. As others have said the water bottles were a nice touch and its a nice route. Biggest challenge was a few hills that knocked off 10-20 seconds off my target pace of 6.29. Being a coastal route the headwind was also tough. Overall a fantastic event. Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: A decent runIn full: First time at the full marathon after doing half a couple of years ago, both experiences have been great. Marshals are excellent, with a special thanks to the marshal at Westgate who gave me the muscle gel, thank you!Plenty of gels and water, struggle to find a more organised race for the money, bargain.Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: My first marathon In full: Ample free parking . You can leave your bag . Plenty of water , gel, sweets ! First part is lovely . 2nd part bit harder but this was my first . maybe considering the race the other way ( flat first and then the hilly bit Z) but this is personal view . One suggestion would be to announce in advance where drinks station where . But overall good value for money, marshalling team amazing , nice medal and tee shirt . Would be back !! Date of review: September 4, 2012
In short: Bucket and spadeIn full: Really nice race, water in bottles usually seen at much bigger events so a real plus, gels were a great touch too!Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: first half was fun! scond half is lonely but the well marshaled event is a bargainIn full: thanks TRRAC great well organised event hard working marshals uplifting banter and support from all.. makes this a great event.Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Well done TRAC for an excellent event Date of review: September 3, 2012

(apologies Nick B.)
1 Table Top Info Sheet
2 Volunteer Party
3 Night Manager Saviour Sheet
4 Coffee Grinder
5 August Events Meeting
6 Two Strikes Policy
7 KM Schedules
8 Price Hike
10 Cleaning Rota
11) Fuselit
Action Points
1)Alex will post his info sheet draft on the BB as way of finalisation.
2)The Volunteer Party has been double-booked with Ras' night, as Ras' nights are nicely self-contained we were concerned the merge wouldn't work. Alex said he'd speak with Ras, thrash out the details.
Also we said we'd make an effort to throw up photos from Genderfuck II on the site
3)It's printed, action point, get people to sign up.
4)We need a newer, better model. Shannon will see to this.
5)The August Events Meeting will be held this coming Monday 5.30PM
6)It was motioned that any volunteer who missed two shifts in sucession should be banned from volunteering for a month. Although we broadly agreed on this, we saw it as delicate territory. Dai will word out the warning in disarming tones.
7)KM schedules were scheduled.
The new menu, no-one likes it, shabby and half-arsed, we will retain old menu printe with updated prices. Shannon and Sean will oversee this. New prices will be discussed at WG meeting.
9)All Night Managers must encourage nay actually sign up any volunteer who isn't active on the BB. Ideally the laptop that Graeme is the process of securing would live at the side of the kitchen.
Dai might have an open day sign-up on a Sunday in the Gold Room
Sean also thought a Forest Latest News Blog might be a good idea. A central information source but on second thoughts actually that might be just another addition in our amorphous online prescence. He will bring it up at the WG meeting.
10) Alex will type up the rota and it will live next to the kitchen rota, other various issues he would bring up at the WG meeting.
11)We have concerns, no-one knows the extent of actual performers they are bringing and if there are any real proposals for a full night. We like the theme though. Alex will get in touch .
- poor show the no-shows, in future arbitrary action points will be assigned to absentees, washing bins out etc.

Rethinking the (really big) business jet cabin
Let's face it: Some business jet interiors are about as exciting as a bowl of cold oatmeal. But in recent years, the situation has been changing, thanks partly to entre into the field of independent cabin designers who had previously occupied themselves with homes and yachts. In the beginning, the industry looked askance at these designers' bold and dramatic computer renderings, viewing them as little more than the imaginings of artists who had yet to deal with FAA regulations, weight restrictions and limited space.
Today, however, such proposals garner more respect–and are seen almost as often from independent completion centers as from independent design studios. Not everything in such computer renderings is certifiable, and designers have to reconsider some ideas when they face such realities as certification cost. But even designs that haven't survived intact have contained ideas that resulted in now-commonplace innovations–freestanding furniture, fiber-optics woven into carpets, trompe l'oeil ceilings and granite and marble flooring and countertops, to name a few.
Squared corners and straight lines have given way to curves, in everything from carpet design to cabinetry, and light-emitting diode (LED) technology has made possible illumination to fit virtually any mood. On these pages we've showcased some of the more dramatic renderings from adventurous independent design studios and completion centers. These cabin proposals are not necessarily for everyone. But on the other hand, you aren't everyone, are you?

Adding custom navigation buttons to imported PowerPoint slides
Many trainers start their eLearning content authoring from MSPowerPoint. And then use tools like Adobe Captivate or Adobe Presenter to covert these PPTs into elearning courses. Captivate automatically adds click based navigation to progress from one slide to another when you import a PPT slide deck into Captivate. But some of us prefer to provide something more fancy, with custom navigation buttons to move back or advance forward thru an imported PPT slide deck. A popular way to do this is to add text buttons or click boxes using Captivate.
Now if your PPT slide deck had custom animations that advanced based on a mouse click (or keyboard shortcut), this tends to interfere with the Captivate navigation buttons added to the same slide. If the 'on success action' for your Captivate button is set 'Continue', it doesn't go to the next slide all the time. If you set it to 'go to the Next Slide', it then skips the PPT animations on that slide.
This problem can be resolved using this workaround:
1. When importing the PPT slide deck, choose -> 'advance slides automatically'.
2. Insert text buttons on the slides that require navigation. Label them appropriately as 'Next' or 'Previous'.
3. Set the 'on success action' for the 'Previous' button to 'go to the previous slide'.
4. Choose 'execute advanced action' as the on-success action for the 'Next' button.
5. Create an advanced action with only "Continue" as the action in it and attach it to "Next" button as sown below
This now ensures that all PPT animations are triggered one after the other based on the user click (or a chosen shortcut key-like 'enter'). Also, like the original PPT flow, the user navigates to the next slide on clicking the 'Next' button after all the animations on the current slide are completed.

Even the most glorious sunset, when gazed at long enough, will eventually lose its appeal. The scenery becomes so familiar that the senses grow dull to its vivid color and beauty. The scenery doesn't need changing--only your perspective. Such is the case with Easter. Our modern eyes have gazed on the wonderful story for so long that we've lost our appreciation for its richness. What's worse, we've missed the real story--the forces at work behind the scenes that make the crucifixion and resurrection defining moments for all mankind. In Easter Through the Eyes of God, John MacArthur approaches the Easter story from the unique perspective of God, Himself. How were God's purposes served by an angry, murderous mob? What was God's role in the suffering death of His own Son? Why is the resurrection of Jesus the hinge on which all of human history turns? This compelling study provides the answers.

Wiltscheck chronicles life of martyred nun
NEW ULM – A retired 3M electrical engineer described his book about the life and death of a Freeport farm girl who became a missionary nun before dying a martyr's death on a Japanese warship off the coast of New Guinea in World War II.
Speaking Thursday at the New Ulm Public Library, Gary Wiltscheck said he learned bits and pieces of the life story of Sister Adelaide Koetter several years ago while researching his wife's family in the Freeport area, which is located in Stearns County, between Melrose and Albany.
"It's an inspiring yet tragic story," Wiltscheck said. "Only a few people ever knew about her. Even her parents went to their graves not knowing the whole story of the end of her life."
Wiltscheck said several of Koetter's sisters, a first cousin and aunt, were Benedictine Sisters, but she joined the Holy Ghost convent near Chicago. She served in Meridian, Miss., for three years before being sent to New Guinea in 1937.
Koetter took a train to Vancouver before boarding the RMS Niagara, a Canadian Australasian line ship that took her to Honolulu, Fiji, Sydney, Australia and Papua, New Guinea. She served at a school, church and hospital on an island in the Bismarck Sea, 13 miles off the mainland.
"Imagine what life was like, working as a nurse and teacher without training in a place full of venomous snakes and many diseases," Wiltscheck said. "Her letters home, which took three months to arrive, told of her love of working with children, doing things like clearing underbrush off railroad tracks, and searching for souls on bush-covered foot paths. On one trip, her shoe broke, she cut her foot, and used iodine to treat it."
He said New Guinea natives feared earthquakes, often searched the skies for Japanese warplanes and found snakes in the chicken house.
"With a grandstand view of Japanese military operations including a huge Navy build-up off New Guinea in 1942, the Japanese perceived missionaries as spies and decided they must go," Wiltscheck said.
In January 1943, 1st Lt. James A. McMurria, a B-24D Liberator pilot with the 90th Bombardment Group, 321st Bombardment Squadron, became lost with nine other crew members over the island of Wewak, ironically the same island where Koetter worked.
Eight of the B-24 crew survived the plane being shot down at sea by the Japanese. Four badly hurt crewmen rode a life raft until it deflated on a coral reef, just off an island near New Guinea.
A message detailing the crew's need for medical supplies was carried by a native to Koetter before she boarded a Japanese escort ship.
"The missionaries were forced to sign affidavits stating they were spies," Wiltscheck said. "The Japanese showed no respect for the missionaries. They built a gallows on the ship, stripped the missionaries, and executed them by hanging and shooting them one at a time."
Aided by friendly natives, McMurria and his crew were fed, sheltered before they continued towards a military base in a hand-made raft, only to be betrayed by a native and captured by a Japanese Army patrol while sleeping on a beach, Wiltscheck said.
"The crew was treated poorly, suffered from starvation, malaria, scurvy, beri beri and open sores before ironically arriving as prisoners of war in the same missionary school where Koetter earlier served," Wiltscheck said. "Three of the crew were shot one night by the Japanese. The other five rode a Japanese warship to mainland Japan. McMurria later wrote a book about it, "Fight for Survival."
Wiltscheck said the Vatican sent a priest to New Guinea in 1964 to find out what happened to the 38 lost missionaries.
Koetter's parents died in 1968. The family didn't learn many details Koetter's last days until 1980 when her nephew, Jim Dresbach of Detroit, had a chance encounter with a visiting New Guinea missionary who spoke of her, prompting Dresbach to do research.
Wiltscheck said McMurria's book, Koetter's letters home and the website PacificWrecks.org greatly aided his research. A grotto dedicated to Koetter's memory was built in the Freeport Cemetery.

Simply Irresistible: How To Create A LinkedIn Profile Worth Remembering
Are you a busy professional who could benefit from connecting with others in your industry? Do you appreciate opportunities to gain knowledge that helps you advance yourself in your career? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Most savvy professionals are committed to seeking opportunities to improve themselves and maximize new business prospects. Now consider this: Do you know what LinkedIn is? Do you have a LinkedIn profile? If so, has it been months since you last looked at it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, it is time to take action.
LinkedIn is a business-oriented global social networking website used mainly for professional networking. Its users enjoy the benefits of building their profile to share with others who can help with career advancement and smart networking. While there will always be a use for traditional face-to-face networking through meetings, LinkedIn networking offers an instant opportunity to interact with countless other well-connected professionals who share a common interest, experience or group membership.
Whether you are using it as a marketing tool for your organization or to land your next job, there are simple tricks to make your LinkedIn profile irresistibly memorable.
Include an updated photo.
Nothing screams unprofessional and careless like a blurry photo of you and your college friends wearing matching jerseys during a tailgate party at last season's championship football game. Simply put, Facebook is for personal pictures and LinkedIn is for professional ones. Recruiters are more likely to click on a profile if it includes an updated photo that shows you in a professional light. If you don't have a photo included with your profile, you are at a serious disadvantage. A recent study by TheLadders.com found that recruiters spend more time examining a LinkedIn user's picture than actually reviewing the person's qualifications.
Update your summary.
If your summary focuses on your biggest accomplishments in 2010 and it is 2013, you are coming across as irrelevant and stagnant. The most important part of your profile is the summary. You wouldn't send an outdated resume to a prospective employer, right? The same should hold true for your summary. Take the time to periodically review and update it throughout the year so it doesn't turn into an overwhelming task. You never know who may stumble across your profile. It could be your next big client or employer. Give them something worth looking at longer than the 10 seconds most people spend skimming a LinkedIn summary.
Join groups.
Get the full bang for your buck by building important relationships online with others who share your professional knowledge, interests and industry experience. LinkedIn groups offers an unmatched opportunity to get the most out of your time by generating new connections with fellow group members and engaging in online conversation about relevant topics. Speaking from firsthand experience, it is even possible to get offered career opportunities simply by engaging in conversation within your groups and posting a well thought out reply to questions posed by others.
Get recommended.
Don't wait until you start a job hunt to frantically clamor for recommendations. Since the vast majority of prospective employers or new clients will check out your LinkedIn profile while making a decision about working with you, it is smart to have them ready at any time. Recommendations are the proof behind the accomplishments you highlight within the summary of your profile. They provide a framework around the skills, experience and accomplishments you claim to have.
LinkedIn is the optimal scene for professional connections. If you are serious about wanting to connect with other professionals, industry leaders and decision makers to boost your career, take the time to make smart connections. Take the time to show why you are worth remembering and doing business with.

Tennessee Smokies Update (as of 5/21/12)
The Smokies are on a roll coming off a week where they went 5-2. Currently, the Smokies sit in last place in the Southern League North Division, but it's tightly packed. Only 6.5 games separate first place from last place, and the Smokies have made up ground on 2nd and 3rd recently by going 6-4 in their last 10. The Smokies boast the 4th best ERA in the Southern League, a big reason why they have been making up ground and playing solid baseball lately.

Tennessee Smokies Stats and Standings (as of 5/14/12)
The Smokies can't seem to get on track as they struggled through another week. They are 3-7 in their last ten games and have fallen 7 games back of the division leading Jackson Generals. Maybe this will be the week where the Smokies gain their footing and move forward instead of always one step forward and two steps back.

Thanks for reading,

Tennessee Smokies Stats and Standings (as of 5/7/12)
Another tough week for the Smokies, but they got some help on Sunday. Junior Lake was added to the roster now that he is fully healthy, he should start helping the Smokies offense immediately. However, with one addition there was a subtraction as Jonathan Mota, arguably the best hitter to date for the Smokies was promoted to AAA.

Tennessee Smokies Stats and Standings (as of 4/30/12)
It's been a tough run for the Smokies as they sit in last place in Southern League North Division. Mostly because they have had to play the Jackson Generals so much, and they have been dominant. Full stats, and standings after the jump.
Tennessee Smokies Stats and Standings Through 4/22/12
It's been an up and down year for the Smokies, but they find themselves at .500 sitting two games out of the top spot in the Southern League North. Full stats and standings after the jump.

At the start of the 1950s--at the very moment in which television was emerging, in the words of blacklisted writer Shirley Graham DuBois, as "the newest, the most powerful, the most direct means of communication devised by Man ... .[whose] potentialities for Good or for Evil are boundless"--a massive ideological crackdown occurred in broadcasting (Graham 1964. By focusing on how the blacklist made struggles over gender, race, and class unspeakable in the new medium, this essays seeks to restore the memory of these struggles and their participants to accounts of the 1950s, to underscore the strategic manipulation of culture and memory by conservative forces, and to remind us just how crucial historical research is for media studies. en_US Marquette University Press rights_reserved Blacklisting of entertainers -- United States Popular culture -- United States -- History -- 20th century "We can remember it for you wholesale": Lessons of the broadcast blacklist Book chapter

How stereotypes are created, and how pictorial metaphors used in advertising perpetuate these beliefs, is the focus of this study. McCracken's Meaning Transfer Model and Barthes's semiotic analysis serve as the framework of this study. The findings, which are important to scholars and practitioners, posit that these images build upon longstanding assumptions about Native Americans by Whites and reinforce an ideology that has resulted in a consumer "blind spot" when it comes to recognizing this form of racism. This study contributes to the scarce literature on representations of American Indians in modern media, providing a framework for understanding why these images persist and why they are problematic. 195289 bytes application/pdf en_US The Howard Journal of Communications Native Americans Stereotypes Ideology Racism Advertising Branding (Marketing) Indians of North America Winnebagos, Cherokees, Apaches, and Dakotas: The Persistence of Stereotyping of American Indians in American Advertising Brands Article

Fabrication: 100% Polyester Jersey
Posted by Unknown on 25th Apr 2014
My husband wore these when in or out of the water and he was extremely please with the weight of the fabric and the wear ability. They washed up easily and performed as described.
My husband is 6'1" and a 36 waist and these fit perfectly for him so the large was true to size in my opinion.
As they are polyester it would be great if you could put a vent under the armhole area for breath ability.

Condom Use Among College Students
Date: August 2001
Creator: Bradshaw, Joe W.
Description: With the spread of the Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus and sexually transmitted diseases, it is extremely important for sexually active individuals to protect themselves properly if they decide to engage in sexual intercourse. Knowledge of HIV and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome has been associated with safer sexual practices, but knowledge alone does not totally explain risky sexual practices. This study examined how 154 college students' knowledge of HIV/AIDS, relationship status, perceptions of condom use, and perceptions of personal risk affect condom use during sexual intercourse. The impact of trust and love justifications along with the approval of peers were also examined. Perceptions of condom use and perceptions of personal risk were compared by gender and ethnicity; how perception of personal risk is related to condom use and condom use intentions was also examined. Condom use intention was found to be a significant predictor of condom use, and a significant difference of means for condom use intentions was reported between individuals who used condoms during their last experience with sexual intercourse and those who did not use condoms during their last sexual experience
