A deadband (sometimes called a neutral zone or dead zone) is an interval of a signal domain or band where no action occurs (the system is 'dead' - i.e. the output is zero). Deadband regions can be used in voltage regulators and other controllers to prevent oscillation or repeated activation-deactivation cycles (called 'hunting' in proportional control systems). A form of deadband that occurs in mechanical systems, compound machines such as gear trains is backlash.
Voltage regulators[edit]
In some power substations there are regulators that keep the voltage within certain predetermined limits, but there is a range of voltage in-between during which no changes are made, such as between 112 to 118 volts (deadband is 6 volts here), or 215 to 225 volts (deadband is 10 volts here).
Gear teeth with slop (backlash) exhibit deadband. There is no drive from the input to the output shaft in either direction while the teeth are not meshed. Leadscrews generally also have backlash and hence a deadband, which must be taken into account when making position adjustments, especially with CNC systems. If mechanical backlash eliminators are not available, the control can compensate for backlash by adding the deadband value to the position vector whenever direction is reversed.
Hysteresis vs. deadband[edit]
Deadband is different from hysteresis. With hysteresis there is no dead zone, and so the output is always in one direction or another.[clarification needed] Devices with hysteresis have memory, in that previous system states dictate future states.[clarification needed] Examples of devices with hysteresis are single-mode thermostats and smoke alarms.
Simple (single mode) thermostats exhibit hysteresis. For example, the furnace in the basement of a house is adjusted automatically by the thermostat to be switched on as soon as the temperature at the thermostat falls to 18 °C and the furnace is switched off by the thermostat as soon as the temperature at the thermostat reaches 22 °C. There is no temperature at which the house is not being heated or allowed to cool (furnace on or off).
A thermostat which sets a single temperature and automatically controls both heating and cooling systems without a mode change exhibits a deadband range around the target temperature. The low end of the deadband is just above the temperature where the heating system turns on. The high end of the deadband is just below the temperature where the air-conditioning system starts.
A smoke detector is also an example of hysteresis, not deadband. The smoke detector at the ceiling of the kitchen starts the alarm as soon as the level of smoke reaches a certain starting value, x, then the smoke detector stays in the alarm position until the level of smoke has been reduced to level y, after which the smoke detector is reset automatically to "normal". The hysteresis here is x minus y.

Officials support bill to streamline stream cleaning process in Wayne
WAYNE – Attempts to curb what's considered nuisance flooding are now moving forward as Assembly Bill A-4313 received its first co-sponsor signing.
The concept was initially suggested by Pompton Lakes Office of Emergency Management Coordinator Al Evangelista. The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Scott Rumana (R-Wayne) back in June, calls for an office to oversee daily river maintenance in areas throughout New Jersey prone to flooding.
It was Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli (R-Somerset), who co-sponsored the bill in November.
The bill gathered more attention after recent de-snagging of the rivers brought out such items as large tires, branches, and trees proving case in point that an office such as the one supported by this bill would be worthwhile.
"While it may not solve the flooding problem, it will hopefully cut down on minor flooding events in the Passaic River Basin," said Rumana. "Nuisance flooding does not cause destruction or lead to lose of life. This is the type of flooding this bill will address."
Although nothing concrete has been set up. Ideas being tossed around include the office being set up as regional based teams and run similar to the road and maintenance division of the Department of Transportation. Crews would be sent out to clean and de-snag rivers around the state.
"This will maximize efficiency of keeping the rivers clean allowing them to flow more freely and not cause them to be prone to spilling over their banks causing minor flooding issues," Rumana said.
And from an environmental standpoint, the rivers will then offer more of a healthier aquatic atmosphere.
The idea has been in the works for about a year and a half now. Three major rivers flow through Wayne Township including the Pompton, Passaic, and Ramapo. Brooks as well are expected to be included in the bill.
"We recognize the added expense to the state but what is more costly doing nothing and having floods causing damage and threats to security or maintenance prevention to help keep high costs down related to flooding," Rumana said.
He added, "The kind of flooding that would put a foot of water in houses located in low lying areas leaving behind damaged furniture that you would see on the curb causing a massive expense; if you can take that away via daily maintenance clean up, it would cost less in the long run."
Up to now any river de-snagging and de-silting has been afforded by government grants. The Pompton River will see another round of maintenance in its southern portion in an effort to offer relief to residents living in the Passaic River basin, where the body of water drains into.
Last January, de-snagging along the Pompton River near Black Oak Ridge Road resulted in truck loads of full sized trees complete with roots that washed downstream were hauled away.

Advocating for English Language Learners in NCLB
Feature Story by Janel Johnson - 3/14/2008
Advocates for English language learner students (ELL) gathered on Capitol Hill to discuss ways No Child Left Behind (NCLB) can better serve this group of nearly 5 million students who they say are being "left behind".
ELLs are students who do not speak English as their native language and/or do not speak English with the same proficiency as their peers. Contrary to popular stereotypes, 80 percent of ELL students are U.S. citizens, often the children of immigrants who speak other languages at home.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of ELLs rose 46 percent between 1990 and 2000.
Panelists at a February 28 Campaign for High School Equity briefing acknowledged that NCLB is a step in the right direction, but doesn't go far enough to close the achievement gap between ELL and non-ELL students. According to Phitsamay Uy of the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, several changes need to be made to NCLB to move ELLs "beyond English proficiency and towards academic success."
Current statistics show a gap between the achievement of ELLs and non-ELLs. Thirty-one percent of non-ELLs scored at or above a "proficient" level on the reading section of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test, while only 4 percent of EL's were able to do so. The NAEP test is the only nationally representative test that assesses students' progress in multiple subject areas, including reading, math, science, writing, and U.S. history.
The graduation rate of ELLs is also low. According to the National Center on Educational Statistics, only 49 percent of freshman students classified as ELLs in 2000 went on to graduate from high school in 2004.
NCLB currently requires that schools accurately measure the achievement of all students, including ELLs. However, NCLB leaves the task of creating assessments that evaluate ELL students on their English-language skills and their academic knowledge to the states.
Advocates say that a big flaw in the law is that it does not give states much guidance as to how to develop assessments for ELL students. "Assessments do not adequately address what students are learning," said panelist Peter Zamora, regional counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense Education Fund (MALDEF).
Zamora said that because of inadequate assessment of ELLs, they "have been denied the full benefit of the law's [NCLB] key reforms." MALDEF is working to push Congress to amend NCLB to give states more support in developing and implementing appropriate assessments for ELL students.
Uy stated that initiatives for ELLs often ignore students of Asian descent because these students often become engulfed in the "model minority" stereotype, where it is assumed they will succeed academically with little outside help.
Uy argued that Southeast Asian students are often overlooked in conversations about helping ELL students. "When we speak of ELL learners, we hear about Spanish, not others (languages)," Uy said. Students who speak Hmong, Lao, or Vietnamese as their native language become "linguistically isolated" if they don't have access to resources and teachers who are able to fulfill their unique academic needs.
Uy said that NCLB should be reformed so that "more federal and state resources are allocated to certify teachers to service ELLs and to provide more investment in translation services."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
"Hello Gabby. It's Raffi."
Four little words and I was instantly transported. Raffi might very well be the first person outside my family whom I truly adored. Now he was talking to me on the phone. A real phone! Not a banana phone.
I was part of a generation who grew up with Raffi songs. Because of Raffi we wonder what we might see down by the bay where the watermelon grows. We know the solution to sillies is to shake them out. We found out we liked to ate, ite, ute, and eat eeples and baneenees. And, of course, we learned all about our favorite whale, Baby Beluga. There are a lot of us.
"You are one of millions of what I call Beluga Grads," he told me. "There are apparently between 20 and 50 million, depending on how you count it."
If my fellow grads were anything like me, Raffi was the remedy for childhood problems, from skinned knees to boring car rides. He kept us company during restless nap times and was the mediator in shouting matches with siblings. An entertainer and a friend, his sing-along lessons were musical memories that defined my childhood.
So when I learned that, after a decade hiatus he was releasing a full album of new children's songs, I couldn't wait to learn more. His latest, Love Bug, continues Raffi's rich musical tradition, combining musical depth with content little kids can relate to. He utilizes a vast range of musical styles: Minor melodies and acapella harmonies are sprinkled among upbeat folk and reggae songs. One track is simply wind chimes. Each song contains a message or a new lesson—and in 16 tracks, Raffi covers a lot. "Mama Loves It" makes it fun to help out with the chores. "In The Real World" emphasizes the importance of personal connections. There's an ode to Pete Seeger—a new version of "This Land Is Your Land"—and a song called "Turn This World Around" honoring Nelson Mandela.
"Music not only gets our toes tapping, it taps our hearts," Raffi says. "It moves us to our core. You think of the importance of music in selling things—in advertising—there are jingles all over the place. And believe me, advertisers would not use jingles if they didn't work. So, you might say to yourself, well, that's interesting. Why don't we use music more to sell ideas? In fact, I believe I do that."
In the market of ideas Raffi puts his money where his mouth is. His music is a reflection of his advocacy efforts and actions. He's been really busy over the past 12 years: He founded the Centre for Child Honouring, a "communications hub and training ground for global awareness" whose philosophy is aimed at creating "sustainable, peace-making cultures." He edited a book on said philosophy, Child Honouring: How To Turn This World Around," with a foreword by the Dalai Lama. He co-founded the Red Hood Project—which highlights online security for children and combats online bullying and harassment—and penned his own book, Lightweb Darkweb: Three Reasons to Reform Social Media Before it Re-forms Us. He has also deployed advocacy and music to raise awareness about the environment—although he sees no distinction between the two.
"To me there is no such thing as the term The Environment," he says. "What there is, is where we live—this living organism that feeds us, that births us. Sustainability is not just about air, water, and soil, as important as those are. I offer the nine child-honoring principles as a code of conduct that we can embrace, as a compass we can hold. It's a way of being that holds culture and planet in the same hand. Interconnected. Love of oneself, of one's mother, father, one's mother planet. These things, in my mind and in my heart, all go together. What we want is a unified reverence for creation, for the family of life of which we are a part."
Over his 38-year career Raffi has remained consistent in his messages and lives by example. He has never endorsed a product, and he has turned down commercial television opportunities. Though the world has changed a lot in that time, he is confident that children will respond to his music as they always have: with enthusiasm and joy.
"I think Love Bug, the CD and the idea, represents an opportunity for all of us to again marvel in the wonder of the fact that each of us is born with innate love. This is not a small thing. It is our saving grace as a species because we also have our dark side. That is why it is so important to be grounded in love, to be seen by our caregivers as the loveable beings that we are. And it has to be a respectful love. I think every artist aspires to express love in a new way in their time. I seek to continually do that. That is such an important thing. Because whether you are thinking about trouble in other places—such as in the Middle East currently, the terrible situation—or the gun violence that we keep hearing about, we have to keep coming back to that wellspring and keep building on that. Love is the strongest force there is."
My conversation with Raffi was coming to a close. Before we hung up, he spoke of his heroes, Pete Seeger, Nelson Mandela, and Maya Angelou, reflecting that we should carry their wisdom with us. He ended with a hypothetical hug. "With all the love in my heart, I hug my audience and my potential audience."
Much like he carries his heroes with him, I was grateful to take Raffi's words with me. As they did when I was a child, Raffi's lessons still carry a magic and a message. For that—then and now—all I can say is "Thanks, Raffi. Thanks a lot."

Glock 19
This is a discussion on Duty weapon AND CCW within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I need a duty weapon (armed security) that will also double as my CCW. I'm thinking G23 or P229 (in .40). Your thoughts, or if ...
I need a duty weapon (armed security) that will also double as my CCW. I'm thinking G23 or P229 (in .40). Your thoughts, or if you carry either do you like?
Glock 19
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing..... Albert Einstein
Our officers can choose any Sig the want for duty, we have a few officers who chose the 229 for this very reason. It plays both roles really well.
Both the 229 and G23 are excellent guns. The edge for a CCW goes to the G23, because of its light weight, and for duty gun, the edge would go to the 229... Both edges are ever so slight so flip a coin.
If it were my money buying a gun to work for someone else, I'd buy the Glock. If I had a choice of caliber, I'd chose the 19 over the 23.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I'd take the Sig over the Glock cause they feel better to me.
The best thing to do is to try each one of them and then make a decision. For some reason or another you will like one over the other.
The only opinion that really matters here is yours. Only you can say for sure which one you like better.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.
AR. CHL Instr. 07/02 FFL
Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Between those two choices I would take the Glock. I like its weight and ergonomics (yes I know the latter is subjective for sure, perhaps the former as well).
"Wise people learn when they can; fools learn when they must." - The Duke of Wellington
I'm issued the 23 for work...it's a good gun but I prefer the 19.
Really, you can't go wrong with Glock or Sig. AFAIC, they're the top two pistols currently on the market as far a reliability is concerned. I just like the Glock better.
"Being a predator isn't always comfortable but the only other option is to be prey. That is not an acceptable option." ~Phil Messina
If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.
Matt K.
Glock 23 is my duty gun for the swat team, but I am really liking my Springfield XD I've had for about a year now.
I've had the Glock for about 10 or 11 years now so I have a lot of time in with that one.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
P229 Hands Down---NO HAND UP WHERE I CAN SEE EM
KENPOTEX got choice I would pic S/A XD over glock MY4ct.
I've carried (and carry) both sidearms as EDC. Either one is a great choice!
I have a g23 which is my EDC and p228 both are excellent CCW. SIG offers different trigger options where the Glock does not. I still prefer the Glock. The Sig is a bit "Sexier"....bu the Glock is a little more rugged. Overall as an all around gun I would go with the Glock. But you wont be unhappy with either.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Glock 19 or 23 because they are better at handling inclement weather riding in a duty holster and they have a tougher finish when it comes to holster wear.
I am not saying the Sig is a wimp pistol, just that the Glock has the edge as a all weather type pistol.
My brother in law is a motorcycle traffic cop and his Glock 22 has withstood downpours, sleet, snow, and even mud (wrestling suspects) for the last 12 years and is still in good shape.
God bless our troops!
I'd go for the SIG, but that's just me!
EOD - Initial success or total failure
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
The real answer should be "whatever feels comfortable in your hand that you can shoot well, repeatedly!"
That said, I'd check out the S&W M&P 9c (or 40c), especially after getting a trigger job.
I bought a slightly used 9c that had a professional trigger job (I've measured 4.5-5# trigger pull) and it just puts them in one jagged hole for me and I'm not the greatest shooter in the world. My stock M&P .45 (full size) is almost as good in my hands.

It's 2013, and Women Are Still Their Breasts
First it was Robin Thicke and his buddies cavorting with naked women in his video for Blurred Lines, while a sign on the wall behind him informed us that he has a big d-ck (his words, not mine).
Then, this past Wednesday, Justin Timberlake debuted his third single Tunnel Vision from his album 20/20 Experience. The video starts off promising (at one point JT even looks at the camera with -- dare I say? -- a sense of reverence and worship for the woman he's singing to), but it all quickly deteriorates into an ocean of boobs. Waves and waves of boobs.... So much so that Justin's face is, at times, superimposed over these women's breasts, because they've taken over THE ENTIRE SCREEN!
It's enough to make you shake your head in amazement.
And exhaustion.
Because, as a woman, it's exhausting to constantly point out the obvious sexism around you. It's tiring to have to explain to some people why you find such things offensive. It's exhausting and exasperating to wonder why 50 per cent of the purchasing population (I'd actually venture to guess that females account for even more than half of the buying public when it comes to pop music) is consistently treated with so little respect and dignity. It's tiring (and insulting) to watch video after video of fully-clad men sing, while naked and semi-naked ornamental women gyrate sexily around them. Like decorations. Like baubles. Like the tinsel on a tree....
What's another word for "decorative"? Non-functional. Serving absolutely no purpose... other than the obvious one, of course.
A few years ago, The American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls issued a report in which it confirmed what most of us already know: Women are more likely than men to be portrayed in the media in a sexual manner. Women defined solely by their sexuality are no longer a threat; they become one-dimensional and have no place in the halls of power. Their focus, it is implied, is no longer on attaining power, but on attaining a man who has the power.
The answer to who has the power in these videos is blatantly clear.
We're the ones constantly depicted naked or semi-naked, in hyper-sexualized "biting-our-lips, batting-our-eyelashes" demure, weak and submissive poses. It's a position that signals vulnerability. You can't be naked, while everyone else is clothed, and be in power. You can't be naked and be the one in control. You can't be naked and be the one choosing. To be naked is to be exposed; to be weak. Ultimately, it's to be powerless.
Even when women are sold the story that their beauty is power over men, it is a deceptive and temporary truth. It's baseless power. It is the kind of power that only exists in relation to a man's desire. In this equation, women are defined only in relation to the men in their lives; only to the hard-ons they can incite. In these videos they're always the cheerleaders to the male ego, standing on the sidelines, prancing around in panties, smiling with a come-hither, non-threatening look, while the guys (all suave, all aloof, all "manly") get to be in on some inside joke.
Blog continues below slideshow...
And that message of powerlessness is everywhere if you just open your eyes to it...plastered on the front pages of magazines, dripping from the words of men who feel that women discussing their reproductive rights is somehow synonymous with promiscuity, and staring at us from outlandishly-tasteless advertising that treats women as objects to be sold, bartered and gawked at.
Examples are never hard to find. Society continues -- in ways subtle and not so subtle -- to always define and ultimately limit what women are and ultimately can be.
There's a line in that wonderful documentary "Miss Representation" that states: "you can't be what you don't see", and if that's true, what are we presenting as options to our young girls? How are we defining them, and ultimately how are we limiting their worth and their value?
It would be tempting for some to dismiss these complaints as overly-sensitive feminist ranting. After all, we live in a society that revolves around consumerism, and we all know sex sells. Throw a few scantily-clad women together, and you've got the makings of a hot new cutting-edge video. What's the big deal in that?
The big deal is that it's blatant (and may I add, extremely lazy) sexism. And it sends a message women (and the men who love them) can no longer afford to receive.
Author Naomi Wolf once said that "to live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren't is to learn inequality in little ways all day long."
Look at Blurred Lines with a critical eye. Naked women, women on all fours, women having their hair brushed like little girls, women meowing like domesticated cats. And breasts everywhere...So much footage of breasts, one has to wonder if the sole purpose of these videos was nothing but shock value and YouTube bans, resulting in even more coverage.
Because, if truth be told, I found both videos tiresome half-way through. How many minutes of non-stop footage of breasts can one look at before you get bored? I mean, I have them so I don't need to look at them all day. And most men (with the exception of teenage boys probably playing those videos on constant loop) have seen them too. After all, "erotic" is in the mind and in the half-seen. Never in patronizing displays of full frontal nudity, with women who appear to barely have an understanding of their own sexuality. Both videos end up descending into parody. They're shocking for their blatant and gratuitous overuse of nudity, but they're not sexy.
And besides, my problem isn't with the nudity at all. I lived in Europe for years, where topless and nudist beaches are nothing out of the ordinary. There's nothing wrong with the human body and I'm not prudish about it at all.
I love the female form. It's a thing of beauty. I get why men (extremely visual creatures to begin with) have a fixation with it. They're not alone. Women find the female body beautiful too.
And no one's denying that women are sexual beings and that they like to be desired. But women are much more than the sum of their perky breasts and their butts hanging out of their thongs as they clumsily -- for the most part -- saunter around in a video while a bunch of highly arrogant men serenade them with lyrics like "I know you want it" and "I know you like it."
Did anyone else notice those two eerily-similar lines appearing in two completely different songs? At a time when we are fighting so hard for young men to understand what clear consent means, is it necessary to be bombarded with such questionable "rapey" lyrics?
Both these singers have gorgeous wives who are in the industry. If there's nothing wrong with the way women are depicted in these videos, why aren't they included here? Is it because it's a cheap, crass, undignified way to depict women and they would never insult their spouses by showing them in this light?
So why are they so willing to insult the rest of us?

Into the Walled Garden HTML version
dried by the sleeping sun,
tired, yawn ing,
K strokes my hand,
ready for bed.
The Sound of Love
I love the sound of your voice.
The sharpness of it can cut skin.
You have a sense of the ridiculous,
an edge that brims over with laughter
in the dullest company.
In pain, you refuse to admit defeat.
You speak loudly, with vowels
that reveal deep valleys full of sunlight.
Yo ur voice places you, grounds you,
ma kes you irresistible, despite my moods
and sheer bloody-minded fugues.
You s mile your words at me,
doubling the blow with deep black pupils
that suck me into your sound.
My nerves crackle with the e xc ite ment
of my na me being ca lled.
You could stand in front of me
with your bags packed
and I would love you as much
for saying goodbye as I do now
for the offer of a cup of tea in the
greyness of a rainy English morning.
Wind Shear
Bottoming a surge wave, spume drenched,
lashed to the bow seat, skin tight,
salt bleached, facing a cold war wa ll of water,
sucked into the barrel, rising,
cresting a spitting cobra?s dripping fangs,
this ripped and torn shell of a boat
launches herself across a smothering grey mist
on a barracking ocean, and blind
in the roaring dark, we h it something solid
at the height of the storm.
A hand on my arm, a grasping e mbrace,

Analysis: Young, urban Indians find political voice after student's gang rape
By Nita Bhalla and Satarupa Bhattacharjya
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - When Preeti Joshi heard of the gang rape of a fellow student, she joined a movement of thousands of outraged young Indians who have taken to the streets of New Delhi almost every day protesting for justice and security for women.
Beaten and raped by five men and a teenager on a moving bus in the capital on December 16, the 23-year-old student died from her injuries on Saturday, her plight shaking the conscience of many urban middle class Indians who consider gender rights as important as poverty alleviation.
India's politicians, seen as out of touch with the aspirations of the urban middle class, have been caught off guard by the protests. For the first time, they head into national elections due by May 2014 with women's rights as an issue.
Even so, the issue is unlikely to be the defining one.
Massive rural vote banks have been untouched by demands for gender equality and the fury across India's cities may fade, just as unprecedented protests in New Delhi over corruption did 16 months ago.
"Rural populations in this country are more concerned about basics such as development," said Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research, a Delhi-based gender rights think-tank.
This jars with what urban protesters like Joshi want.
"I thought we lived in the world's biggest democracy where our voices counted and meant something. Politicians need to see that we need more than bijli, sadak, paani (power, roads, water)," said Joshi, 21, a student of social sciences at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University. Continued...

Quote:But what does this have to do with Martial Arts??? Maybe I'm missing something.
Quote:Are you the "nice guy"? In my younger years I was the nice guy and I had a similar problem where girls would befriend me and I would be their support especially if they broke up with boyfriends. I would give and give and for some reason I never took and took. I had to get myself out of that situation but still be true to myself because I wasn't willing to give up my morals ... though I wish I had a few times and been a hound ... ARROOOOOOO! Thankfully I met the right girl who became my wife.Sometimes you have to look for that person, other times they find you. Take yourself away from what you can't have and start looking for what you can have. Somebody else's problems will never benefit you and they will have too much baggage for you to handle. Sure sometimes it would be nice to be used ... and put away hard ... but that can't last forever and there will never be any long term relationship there, if that is what you are looking for.

Big Birthday for Spode Christmas Tree
April 2, 2013,
The Spode Christmas Tree gold collection adds a touch of elegance to the beloved pattern. portmeiriongroup.com
At the New York Tabletop Show this month Portmeirion Group will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Spode Christmas Tree, launch gift and entertainment-based collections in its Royal Worcester, Portmeirion and Pimpernel brands, and venture into the new category of cookware with Sophie Conran.
To celebrate the Spode Christmas Tree milestone, the company is introducing a 75th anniversary collection, which will include pieces such as an anniversary plate, cups and mug; a set of three tree ornaments; a footed compote and a footed soup tureen and ladle. All of these items will be stamped with the 75th anniversary dates, 1938-2013.
There are two other new collections in the Spode brand: Glen Lodge dinnerware, an English design of pheasant and deer mixed with argyle and tan accent plates. The look is similar to that of Spode's popular Woodland pattern. The second new collection is called Tartan, a short line of holiday-themed pieces.
New from Portmeirion is the Water Color dinnerware collection, a bright floral design on a fresh white background. And to keep Portmeirion's Pomona collection fresh, a kiwi motif has been added to the line, along with a few new items such as a coffee cafetiere, egg cups and a salt and pepper mill.
The Sophie Conran collection, Portmeirion's best-selling bridal pattern, expands with entertaining-based items and introduces a line of enameled cast aluminum cookware with a stainless-steel rim.
In the Royal Worcester brand, a new license with the Royal Horticultural Society has led to the creation of a tea collection packaged in a lidded hat box. This new license has been carried over into the Pimpernel brand as well, which will showcase new mats, coasters and melamine trays. Pimpernel will also feature a second new license, Morris & Company.

""""Inspired by the great stouts favoured by Russian Imperial Court, Murray's "Wild Thing" Imperial Stout is a beer fit for a Czar. A massive, intense drinking experience. The colour is black. Totally black. The heart of darkness. Impossible to see through even when held up to the light – nothing insipid about this beer. Aromas of strong dark chocolate, a little fruitiness from the hops and yeast and some rumminess from the alcohol. The flavour is an intense hit of mocha – bitter dark chocolate bordering on coffee. Some malt sweetness but an aggressive hop bitterness and roast grain bite to balance. And then there's the mouthfeel… Full bodied is an understatement. Massive mouthfillling malt that almost overwhelms, before the freight train of the bitterness from the hops and the roast acidity kicks in to clean up the palate. A tiny batch of a huge beer – only 1100 bottles brewed. A beer to savour if you dare!""""

The Problem With Adjuncts As Entrepreneurs
by Elaina Loveland
Adjuncts are more catered to than ever. Adjunctopia.com helps part-time faculty find jobs. Academic publishers Allyn & Bacon/Longman and Houghton Mifflin host Web sites exclusively for adjuncts. A cover story about an adjunct English professor was published this past summer in Washington Post Magazine. People are beginning to recognize the role adjuncts play in the higher education community, and nearly everyone has some advice to give.
Jill Carroll, an adjunct in Texas, has this recommendation: adjuncts should think of themselves as entrepreneurs. The article, "Less Whining, More Teaching," written by Scott Smallwood and published in the August 2001 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education, urges adjuncts to approach teaching part-time as a business. In the piece we meet Jill Carroll, who earns approximately $54,000 per year teaching 12 courses at several different campuses. Since the article's publication, Carroll has proven that she is certainly a businesswoman. Besides teaching, she now has self-published a manual called How to Survive as an Adjunct Lecturer: An Entrepreneurial Strategy Manual, maintains a Web site called AdjunctSolutions.com, offers e-mail consulting services to fellow adjuncts for $65 an hour and writes monthly for The Chronicle.

Ghana U20 women's team get no financial rewards for early World Cup exit
Ghana's U20 team missed out on receiving financial rewards after failing to make it past the group stage of the FIFA U20 World Cup.
The Black Princesses are not eligible to be paid qualification bonus despite winning two games at the finals being staged in Canada.
Ghana opened its campaign on a flying note by securing a 1-0 win over hosts Canada but were immediately brought down to earth with a crashing 3-0 defeat to Korea DPR.
And even though coach Bashir Hayfor's side won their final group game against Finland, it wasn't enough to take them to the next stage on goal's difference.
Korea DPR and Canada ultimately went through from Group A at the expense of the Black Princesses.
The team therefore missed out on receiving the amount agreed upon as qualification bonus which was only payable from state coffers upon progression.
This means the team will receive no financial rewards despite their historic enhanced performance at the World Cup.
The Black Princesses for the first time in the history of the tournament were able to gather six points but was still sadly not enough to take the team through to the next stage.

In as much as I abhor the rot going on at GFA, you cannot attack them on this particular issue. Kwame ,if you have been following Ghana soccer with keen interest, you would have known that, Nyantakyie made it clear last years or so, that winning bonuses will only be paid after each qualification to the next stage of the competition. If you doubt, go and Selass Tetteh and his under 20 boys.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I've just recently bought a heart rate monitor which has many functions one of which works out your 'ownzone' heart rate and works out a hard, moderate or light heart rate depending on what session i want to do. I think i'm quite fit and have been running for a while, although not a fast runner. my resting heart rate is around 45-50 beats per minute. when i run i cant run slow enough to keep heart rate down! my heart rate averages at about 164 beats on 'normal' run, 168 on 'tempo' run and 170 when i pace up. i tried to run on moderate setting on a long run but i felt the pace was way to slow to keep heart rate down to 135-155. do you think i need to do some 'slow' runs, will they benefit me? i'm trying to be a faster runner! the ideal would be the same speed with a lower heart rate, how to i achieve that? PS, my max heart rate (working on age basis) should be 178, (220 - age, right?)
Only 4 beats difference between "normal" and "tempo" run?
I would guess that you are running your normal runs too hard and your tempo runs too slow. Therefore, you are not recovering between you runs, especially before your tempo runs.
Do try slowing down a little on your easy/recovery runs.
How often do you run? and for how far/long?
I started to look at my heart rate in january, and really try to keep my "slow" runs under 150. In a really short time my resting heart rate has dropped, and I run more consistently at a lower HR than I used to when I run faster sessions. HR is a fantastic indicator of the real effort you're making. there's a very good article on this site, you should be able to find it quite easily.
HI Sean G, i think you're right, my runs all seem quite hard, with tempo runs a bit harder! i feel like i wont improve unless i push myself.
i run 3-4 times per week, average run is about one hour. although i'm increasing my time and mileage for marathon training, i'm up to 2 1/2 hours, my average heart rate was 159, is that still too high for a long run? how often should i run slower? and will it really help bring my heart rate down even on faster runs?
It is normally advisable to do about 3 to 4 months of base training (running all runs at approx 70% WHR/HRR or approx 45 ot 90 seconds slower than your desired marathon race pace) and then add 1 Tempo run a week into your training schedule.
It would certainly be useful to find out roughly what your Max HR is to enable your training zones to be more accurately calculated.
Here is another method for estimating your Max HR:
Males: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of your total body weight (lbs) + 4 = Predicted Maximum Heart Rate
210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of your total body weight (lbs) + 0 = Predicted Maximum Heart Rate
This means a male of 45 years with a weight of 190 would have an estimated max heart rate of:
210 - 22.5 - 1.9 + 4 = 189 beats per minute.
In general this formula is fine for most people and is likely to be the most accurate formula within plus or minus 10 beats of the actual maximum heart rate.
Heart rate will drift for a steady effort - if you are running to a heart rate zone without taking account of that you are actually slowing down over your run. Better to run to pace than heart rate - though you can use your HRM to determine some rough zones to work in if you take account of the fact heart rate will drift up. You can also use it to determine fitness by heart rate at different paces.
I'd forget about standard formula for max heart rate - I don't think they are anything like accurate enough. Keep wearing it in short distance races, cross country etc to get a better idea of your max - a longish sprint finish up hill in a 5k should get you fairly close to your max.
Agree with popsider - you definitely need to find your own estimate of max HR. If your HR profile even roughly approximated any of the given formulas based on age, there's no way you could maintain average HR of 159 over a 2.5 hour run unless it was close to an all-out marathon-pace effort. I'd be willing to bet your max is siginificantly higher than 178 - all the more reason to try a few tests. As popsider suggested, my highest observed HR was at the end of a sprint finish on a 5k. (196, more than 10 beats higher than the 200 minus age formula suggests.)
And as Sean suggests, if you know your own personal 'zones', you'll have a better idea of the suitable intensities for easy and tempo running. Tis very important to keep the easy runs easy and the hard ones hard!
I was lucky enough to be given a Garmin 305 by the wife for Christmas - and so far so good. I've done a treadmill test to work out my max HR and calculated my own zones.
During my 3-5 minute walking warm up, my HR is <90 BPM but then as soon as I start jogging my HR jumps to 150 within a few seconds - I then find I can keep my HRM in the 150-165 zone for the majority of the workout, regardless of whether its a 3 or 6 miler. Speed isn't great - jogging pace is 10:30 to 11:00 so fairly slow.
I'm wetting the chest strap before I start, making sure that I'm hydrated, and I get the same pattern on both the treadmill and on the streets.
Is this normal ?Or do I have a faulty unit ? Or a faulty heart ?
Any advice appreciated !

New Study Says Smoking Marijuana Helps Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
A new study out of the University of California, San Diego shows what several other studies have shown, and that is marijuana's beneficial effect on the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.
The study was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and consisted of 30 MS patients – 63% of them women. Some patients were given cannabis while some received placebos.
Those who smoked cannabis scored lower on the spasticity scale and reported a 50% decrease on the pain scale. But researchers also found some short-term cognitive impairment – the "high" of medical grade marijuana in other words, something that can be remedied with low THC, high CBD strains and concentrates.
"Smoked cannabis was superior to placebo in symptom and pain reduction in participants with treatment-resistant spasticity," researchers said. "Future studies should examine whether different doses can result in similar beneficial effects with less cognitive impact."
Most regular medical marijuana users already know that amazing advances have been made in cannabis breeding and have produced potent medicines that lack much of the psychoactive effect of THC. But I guess there's not a study on that yet, so we have to wait for it to be "official."
Beyond that, this is yet another study that shows marijuana's ability to combat pain. And it does so without the side effects and addictiveness of prescription pills. Medical marijuana opponents act as if pain is some sort of cop out, or like patients are faking it to get legal weed.
While I'm sure some do fake it, there are a lot of people who endure physical and mental anguish every day and they shouldn't be looked down on or treated like criminals just because they prefer an herbal remedy to their symptoms.
Keep doing your cannabis studies; it's all good news for patients.

It's been one week since the Mia Farrow story published in Vanity Fair re-opened the wounds of scandal associated with that family, and in turn dragged some old accusations and family hurt back into the public discourse. Everything mentioned with regards to the 20-year-old scandals in that article — whether true or false — makes one shudder.
There was one big new bomb dropped, however, that has put a single word on everyone's lips ever since. "Possibly."
Could Ronan Farrow, someone up til now believed to be the biological son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen actually instead be the biological son of Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra? "Possibly," said Mia Farrow, according to the story.
Putting that particular family and that particular family's complex and multi-layered issues aside, the word "possibly" itself is worth thinking about when it comes to our perceptions of fatherhood. The possibility of "possibly" being uttered by anyone's mother, or ex, in a context like this is huge. The word has the power to both give and take away all at once. It's a word that offers confusion and enlightenment. It raises questions and presents ambiguities. The word is an entire world and a whole universe.
First of all, "possibly" means . . . there's the possibility that "something" happened between two people. "Possibly" relates directly to what one might have thought about loyalty, and truth, and faithfulness, and terrestrial origins. Finding out that your father or finding out that your child is "possibly" not yours biologically is potentially devastating — or maybe in some cases a relief.
But on the flip side, the word "possibly" means that biology is a tenuous thing. It doesn't wholly define a relationship. It doesn't trump what we know to be true, and it doesn't change who we love and depend on.
On some level, of course biology matters. It matters to people who spend lifetimes tracking down a biological father or biological mother who physically "made" them. In those cases, finding birth parents promises wholeness, closure, or simply the answer to something rather not left a mystery.
But then again, does it really matter? Sometimes not. Adoptive parents earn and should claim the title "parent" more than anyone else — period. "Parent" is a verb every bit as much as it is a noun. Guess what? So is father. And mother. The only ones that are strictly passive nouns: Son, and Daughter.
Looking at the flip side, the word "possibly" can mean something else. Possibly can mean that being a parent figure to a kid that needs one is open and available to any and all of us. Any child can and should have an entire village looking out for them. "Fatherhood" can present itself as an opportunity, a challenge, and gift in our lives in so many different ways — biology only being just one. We can find ourselves with children who need us through friendships, or by teaching, by coaching sports, adopting, as our foster children, or through a marriage to someone who already has children (and that's only to name a few.) "Being" a parent might have something to do with biology, or it might not. But parenting a being — well, now that's not biological — it's biodynamic.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
And there is a busy highway in town. That should be enough for owners to keep their dogs chained or in a fence.
|I always wonder how folks can just let their dogs run like that. Even if they manage to avoid a dog fight, I'd be scared to death they'd get hit by a car or stolen.
Dogs loose!
I am being completely serious when I say this: Every single time I take my dogs for a walk, at LEAST one dog seems to be loose and approaches us. Literally, every time! Usually there are about three dogs. Two days ago, I decided the weather was nice enough to take Varick for a walk. As expected, there were loose dogs that approached. Two of them. Neither seemed aggressive, but you can never be too sure. When dogs approach Harley, I'm usually not worried, because he is submissive and never pays any attention to them. It's Varick I'm worried about. He isn't very dog reactive, but I don't think he'd take too kindly to a loose dog approaching him. When he sees a loose dog/any dog, he may give a low growl or two and stares. He never barks or growls uncontrollably (or at all), and it's pretty easy to get his focus off the dogs. I usually just walk in the opposite direction and he is completely fine. Doesn't lunge or pull on the lead. I can get him focused on the walk quickly. It's just annoying that I have to watch every single house and street to make sure that a dog doesn't come running at us!

I happened upon a new book that I'm smitten with: Organized Simplicity by Tsh Oxenreider, whom you may know via her blog, Simple Mom. I can't believe I hadn't visited regularly before, as I can identify with the purpose behind her blog, combining motherhood with productivity.
Oh, how I love to check something off of a list! Drawing that line through gives me such satisfaction!
The first list that got my attention is the Daily Docket, which is part of the Home Management Notebook. Maybe "docket" reminds me of my lawyer work, but it's a familiar term and helps me think of my home in the business sense, as in, I am the Manager of our home. And I like things to run smoothly and efficiently!
The Daily Docket is a page that you fill out each day that helps you set goals for everything you want to accomplish that week- with flexibility as to when you will do it. You put the three most important things (MIT) at the top of the list and other categories for the day's general plan.
I've been sort of doing this in my head, but I like the idea of mapping it out, so that I can help the day not get away from me without accomplishing the important things I need to get done. Below is the SimpleMom Daily Docket Sheet. All the Simple Mom downloads are available FREE here! Isn't that Awesome?!
Speaking of lists, I love my Real Simple grocery checklist that I got at Target. I'm happy to say it's still working for me!

Lol someone start a "Giants poems" thread.
Mood: WOOF!
I want to keep either Cruz or Nicks, but not both because it'll be too much money wrapped up at WR. Nicks is the better receiver, but gets injured to easily.
I'd love to keep both, but not with a cap because money needs to be spent elsewhere as well.
Giants should have been in the playoffs even with the talent they had. I believe something was not right with the Giants when they beat the 49ers, Packers and Saints then start bad performance in other games. Giants are somewhat like the Pats in my book.
A good receiver is a good receiver but no team will make it with just one good wr like a lot of you make it seem.

Proof The Brady Curse Will Kill TV's Modern Family
To the untrained eye I might appear to be just a disc jockey, but those in the know understand that I am a paid observer of life. Of the many things these wise old eyes and ears have had the opportunity to observe over the years is television. As Kenny Rogers would say, I know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em, at least as far as when a great TV show is about to go belly up. I call it the Brady Curse and I will explain.
The Brady Curse happens when a television show breaks with their audience winning format and takes the show on the road. Sometimes it's for business or sometimes it's the family vacation but either way it's a momentum killer.
The TV show Modern Family has been a monster when it comes to winning Emmy awards. The cast is great, the characters unique and the storylines are well crafted. However, even this machine of great television can not escape history and I will explain. There are no new ideas in Hollywood, for example last year we saw the reboot of Hawaii Five-O. This year we have a relaunch of Charlie's Angels to enjoy. But what does this have to do with Modern Family going in the tank?
It's the opening episode that is the omen of evil things to come, it's the dreaded "vacation show". That's right the Modern Family season premier finds the gang at a dude ranch, this can only mean the writers are running dry on ideas. I have history to back me up on this. Do you remember when the Brady's went to Hawaii?
Sure it was nice to see Jan and Marcia in bikinis and Alice doing the hula was truly a treat for the eyes. It also signaled the beginning of the end for Mike and Carol and the whole darn bunch. Here is another great example of a TV show going on vacation. Do you remember Roseanne going to Disney World?

I'm not through bringing the proof y'all do you remember the Facts of Life heading down under to Austrailia? You probably don't remember because people had started to stop watching at that point. The writing was bad, Jo was looking more like a drag queen and Tootie had blossomed so big that you could barely see her face!

Okay one more example of why when TV shows go 'on vacation' we all should be prepared for a midseason replacement series. Does any one remember the fascinating theatre that was Blossom in Paris? Of course you don't, but Blossom went to Paris.

There are countless other examples of TV shows giving up good writing and great acting for the thrill of being on location. I guess the producers do that so they can write off a vacation on their taxes, it certainly isn't because it makes for better TV. From Family Ties in London, to Scrubs in Aruba, to Head of the Class in Moscow we salute you former great TV shows that left us for vacation and did not come back tanned, ready or rested enough to entertain us!

Love the lady bug really cute.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love the lady bug really cute.
very nice!!!!
Really cute! If it meets the batting requirement it will be fine. If you think it needs a little more, I would use black thread and SITD on the little black V between the wings.
Thanks everyone. The ladybugs are appliqued on. The original pattern was for a red, black, green and yellow quilt, but my daughter isn't a fan of green and her favorite color is pink, so we changed it up a bit. It meets the batting requirements in the centers, for the most part. My concern was that there's a little stretch of batting, from one corner to the other, that is 12" long, but in the center it's 1" wide, so I thought that that would be fine, but wasn't sure.
"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove."
...very nice l like your lady bugs....

I think it's time to compile data on size/volume observations. I know everyone who built a TBH thinks thiers is the best and most functional, and there is no problem with pride in your work. In the interest of fine tuning TBHs I would like to know the pros and cons of the TBH you built. So stay objective. I'll start:
24 inches wide and 16 inches deep, 30 bars long.
large deep comb (some may consider a con)
east to treat and feed
Haven't had a swarm yet
cooler in the heat
For a TBH this thing is a honey cow!
Forget moving it
Bees haven't drawn past 15 bars yet in first season (but they are still working on it)
The Bees tend to cluster in a front corner when installed.
Hard to maintain strait comb
Just some observations, I'm thinking about trimming down a little, but I really want to get to a standard size. Anyone else wish to comment. :confused:
