Sorry to hear about your "owie". Hope you and your finger are feeling better today.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Sorry to hear about your "owie". Hope you and your finger are feeling better today.
The queasiness is the worst! An operator at a garment factory where I worked did just what you did but asked me to raise the needle because she just couldn't. I did it for her and then we were BOTH queasy. My own blood doesn't bother me but another person's sure does.
Please take care of yourself.
Sorry, just read all the responses and saw Ghostrider's post... didn't mean to duplicate messages, but she explained it perfectly!!
"... let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
Thanks everyone. The finger is still sore today and I'm finding out how hard it is to type with a missing digit. :/ The best part? Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm leaving my twenties behind and what a wonderful way to start my thirties. On the phone with the doctor, now, about getting in for a tetanus booster.
"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove."
I use a long quilting pin to pull the threads out from under the foot. smile. never put a needle through a finger, but I have done the cutter bit and took off a good slice of my left index finger. sigh... Found blood spots on a quilt top i made by DGD. Plain cold water took it out. Used a q- tip to scrub it.
Pennif is correct. Puncture wounds need to be looked at. SIL told me they make a gas or something.
I have done this more than once. The first time I was working on my Mother's old treadle machine and stuck the needle through my thumb right in the middle of the nail. Did it again more recently and just missed the nail of my thumb. Now, I use a pin or something to grab that thread because don't want a repeat!

Ouch! I hope your finger feels better soon. Have you had a tetanus shot in the last 5 years?

Startup Chile
Come to Chile if you cannot get a visa for the USA. The government is handing out money here for foreigners. When done with your project, go back to your own country with no with no obligation to stay or invest here in any way. Chile does this to foster a startup culture.
Near the La Moneda presidential palace in downtown Santiago, and again a few blocks away, just beyond the towering Movistar skyscraper, hundreds of young entrepreneurs are busy stitching together tomorrow's technology in what some have referred to as the "Santiago Valley". These young people–and they are for the most part young people–have come at the invitation of the Chilean government whose development corporation StartUpChile has poured over and selected the most viable, potentially profitable ideas for new startup businesses and have seeded them with $40,000 worth of capital.
In these two offices, which hum to the rhythm of bristling ideas and energy, there are software developers and visionaries who have developed products and ideas which they hope will free them from the drudgery of the corporate cubicle and allow them to profit from their ideas. English is spoken here more than Spanish as 77% of those here are from the USA, Europe, Asia, Latin America while 23% of the start-up businesses here this year are Chilean.
New ideas are literally bouncing off the walls in these offices where coffee and croissants are given away and ample office space is provided free of charge. Here is a French entrepreneur who has teamed up with a social networking site; he has 85,000 farmers enrolled who he hopes to pair up with farmers markets. One clever chap has taken the idea of the iPad touch screen device and made it as large as a table so that multiple people can work on it simultaneously. Another company is improving processes and workflow at customer call centers and has signed up Groupon as one of their first customers. Yet another company is working with hotels on a system which will let managers and hotel guests know much much electricity is being used or wasted and thus curtail their usage and costs. A couple of the entrepreneurs here are back for a second time having already sold the first idea to other companies in the USA and having returned to Chile to do it again. At least one successful businessman brought his ideas here instead of the Silicon Valley because Chile hands out free visas while the USA does not.
Matt Lynch and Alec Manfre are two mechanical engineers who recently graduated from Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, one of the top engineering schools in the USA. In their senior year they, together with several other partners, worked on the prototype of an idea which they have brought to fruition here in Chile with the assistance of startup funds from the Chilean government. Having been in Chile 6 months already, their product to save electrical costs for hotels is already installed in one of Santiago's leading hotels and more pilots are planned in Daytona Beach, Atlanta, and hopefully Patagonia and Hawaii, locations where energy costs are dear. The two recently brought a programmer Brian Smith to Santiago so that Matt and Alec can do what they do best which is work the phones and promote their product to investors and clients alike. The two work together as one and compliment each other as they talk to customers around the world on Skype and visit with customers in person here . The StartupChile organization has helped them find local businessmen in the hotel and power generating industries. They pitch their product to prospects and energy executives as smoothly and polished as grey-haired executives. This is a only few short months after they have left their beer-swilling college fraternity days behind them and matured into businessmen carrying the burden of cash flow, profit, partnership, and make-or-break decisions.
Bractlet has the idea to install a smart wall adapter into hotel room's electrical outlet. The adapters transmits power usage data wirelessly to Bractlet's servers as well as controllers installed in the junction box at the hotel. A web page allows the management of the hotel to monitor electricity usage, for example pointing out rooms which are empty and send someone around to turn off the unattended appliances when the guests have left. The guests themselves, who are increasingly energy conscience these days, can earn award points pictured as small trees which proliferate with the energy the savings. The hotel can then deduct the costs savings from the bill, donate these funds to energy conservation organizations, or keep it and boost the hotel's bottom line. For Bractlet the profit comes from taking 30% of the electricity savings. The product also works to monitor circuit breakers thus covering one large area at once. This idea is an easy sell to educated customers at upscale hotels who have already been sold on the notion that wasting energy increases man's carbon footprint and thus does harm to the environment. For the businessman running the hotel the benefit in addition to being green is to reduce the electric bill. This is especially true in countries like Chile and locations like Hawaii and Patagonia who often have to purchase electricity using the most expensive diesel powered utilities whose costs can be three times that of the mainland USA.
Arcaris is further along that Bractlet on the chronological timeline having moved from what is called the "accelator phase" (i.e. intial funding), beyond the "incubator phase" (i.e. further mentoring and additional capital), to the operational phase. Unlike most of the StartupChile-funded companies who will leave Chile when their initial efforts are complete here ,these San Francisco based entrepenuers have left an office and staff here in upscale Providencia while they have themselves returned to the USA to build out the business.
Nicole Helgeson is a young woman with a wide smile who came to Chile from Wisconsin looking for opportunities here. She is now a spokesman and business development person for Arcaris. She explains that the companies offering PlayCall lets call center companies improve their internal communications with kind of an internal social media site through which employees can communicate with one another and with their supervisors and managers. So intriguing is their idea that Groupon is one of their pilot customers.
Arcaris first had the idea to create software which would at one click route phone calls for customer support from the USA to offshore call centers. StarupChile was intrigued with this and selected the companies two founders to travel to the Silicon Valley for 4 months and work at the Plug and Play center there where they could network with other entrepreneurs and then find what every startup wants which is an "Angel Investor". Seemingly dropping out of the sky like an angel, these investors weigh in with additional capital. Arcaris found an angel investor in Spain who wrote that important check.
Arcaris learned on their first go around with StartUpChile one a trip–to, ironically, their hometown San Francisco–funded by the Chilean taxpayer–is that this market was aldready crowded with businesses. So they refined their idea to improving operations at call centers instead of routing their phone calls and this is what caught the attention of Groupon and their other initial customers.
Matt Beaubien is an entrepenuer from Canada who is working on a social network platform called "OctaneNation". His idea is to bring together people who are interested in automobiles so they can communicate in a forum-like setting plus buy and sell used auto parts on their site.
While his product is not let launched he explains he started developing his product before he came to Chile hiring an Indian outsourcing firm and Chilean contract computer programmers to help him. This former Roush engineer who worked in France and got his MBA in Spain says his offering should be ready to launch in the next few weeks.
Free Money you Say?
The obvious question behind StartUpChile is why would the Chilean government hand over so much cash to foreigners who when they have completed their 6 month stint in Chile will likely take their capital and ideas and go back to whence they came. Maitetxu Larraechea is the communications director of Chile. This Chilean with Basque ancestry explains it like this:
The thing is that the main goal is not necessarily to create new businesses [here]. The objective of the program is to build an entrepreneurial hub in Chile. We want the startups to be successful because they create jobs and they make this entrepreneurial hub better. Our goal is to strengthen the entrepreneurial system in chile. Successful entrepreneurs make the system better.
It does not matter [that they go back to the USA or wherever] because we make sure while they are staying here they mentor local entrepreneurs, they talk to investors: its a good thing, it is good deal. They contributed to the local ecosystem [business environment].
Chileans can Play As well
Of course Chile is not only giving awards to overseas countries. In the fourth round of the program twenty three percent of the program participants were Chilean. Here are a couple of their success stories.
Matías Sjögren Raab is the sort of salesman and company leader who exudes charisma, charm, and confidence. This former finance guy turned entrepreneur says he has taken an idea whose origins were academic and made it commercial. Speaking from his office in the shadow of the new 70-story Costenera Center in Providencia, Santiago he says his two year old company is already profitable having installed dozens of natural waste and sewage treatment systems at agriculture and food processing companies across Chile, New Zealand, Spain, and elsewhere. His customers include the largest poultry processor in Chile and some of the largest wineries here. Giving a boost to his company BioFiltro was one of six finalists in the Global Ideas competition with competitors from 23 countries competing for $100,000.
The BioFiltro system "Turns waste water into clean water and organic fertilizer for agriculture". Earthworms eat polluted solids producing casts which are used for fertilizer. Sawdust and gravel treated with bacteria filter out solids. At the end of the process a few drops of chlorine produce the final result: clean water for farm irrigation. This clean water discharged from farms and food processing plants is not only important for environmental stewardship but is an important factor in food safety.
With a gift for raising money, Matías has secured grants from StartUpChile, other sections of the Chilean Development Corporation (CORFO), and the Chilean Export organization (ProChile) as well as two partners. He praises StartUpChile for being an easier bureaucracy to navigate saying, "When you are starting your company you need money. I applied for grants and programs from the government. At StartupChile the application is easier than the normal ones." ProChile paid for BioFiltro to travel to different countries to sell and promote their product. For example Matías went to the Fresno area of California to promote his product to dairy producers there. Matías says he used his 20 million pesos ($40,000 USD) funds he got from startup Chile to build new waste treatment machines and improve their efficiency.
Loogares is the product of three friends who have know each other since they were 10 years old. Their product offering is a web site that lets consumers rank restaurants, bars, clothing stores in a manner similar to the American company yelp.com. They are operating in Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile and expanding to Buenos Aires where they found an Anghel investor, NXTP Labs. This Anghel investor is what is called an "accelerator" meaning they take an equity position in the company unlike StartupChile who is an "incubator" who provides initial seed money. With StartupChile funds he was able to hire additional computer programmers and what he calls "community managers" who basically are sales people who entice local companies to buy advertising on the web site. Already his startup is profitable.

is my sheathing rotting? *pics*
4 Attachment(s)
I'm in the pacific NW so it's really wet here but I don't know what to expect in terms of how wet the sheathing should be but I did discover mold along exterior walls in bedrooms when moving some boxes. I washed the walls with bleach, moved the boxes away from the exterior walls & opened windows/ circulated air with fans.
Next, I did an attic inspection for moisture and mold 2 weeks ago and found moisture & mold in attic sheathing and on mold on rafters.
I discovered the bathroom exhaust duct was not vented through the roof.
It stopped short a few inches from a screened vent. It seemed to explain the excess moisture in that part of the attic.
I Installed a proper duct with it's own termination cap through the roof. I gave it a week to see if humidity would go down but it stayed a steady 78% so I Installed an additional roof vent to create more ventilation to help dry out the attic. I noticed exposed staples on the roof so I covered them with roof cement yesterday in hopes that it would prevent water from getting in.
While starting to clean mold in the attic today, I noticed the mold was extensive. Some of the sheathing is starting to dry but I have some concerns...
1. on the sheathing that's starting to dry, the outer layer looks and feels brittle (is this dry rot?)
2. some of the sheathing isn't flush with each piece (buckling from getting wet then dry?)
3. some rafters look like they have signs of dry rot
Upon my examination of the attic I'm wondering if the roof (sheathing&rafters) need to be replaced but I need advice on how bad or not the condition of the roof is as this is all new to me. I don't want to fall thru the roof when I go up there to clean the chimney & I don't want it to leak and contaminate the home with mold.
Do I need to any or all of these:
1. replace potentially dry rotting sheathing
2. "sister" dry rotting rafters
3. dispose of cellulose insulation because of mold
The insulation is not wet but I think some of it may have mold on it.
The home was built in the 80's and from my reading I discovered that plywood made today is of a lesser quality so mold would eat through the new plywood very quickly if it were to return.
Your advice is much appreciated. Please "dumb down" your responses as I am a novice to home repairs & terminology.
From those pictures, yes you do have serious issues that need serious attention. Much of that sheeting looks like it has lost all structural integrity. That must have been ongoing since the house was built.
Dunno about the insulation but if it looks bad it is one of your easiest and least expensive elements there to remedy. That all looks like more than just a bathroom vent issue.
#1 and #2 and # 3 just pull out insulation in that area and replace.
Complete Roof
Can You Dig It !
yes you have a serious problem ..its rotting..address it now:yes:
You definitly need to replace whatever wood is damaged and the insulation, however if you don't fix your moisture issue you'll have the same problem again. Your bathroom vent was probably not the problem but it didn't help matters any. You said you added a roof vent. How many do you have, and more importantly do you have vented soffits. You need good airflow through the attic to keep the moisture down and to not grow mold. If you have vented soffits check that they aren't blocked with insulation. If you don't have them you'll need to do more than just have a roof vent.
You have a serious water issue. The mold near the fan is localized, the ridge wet could be condensation OR roofing missing. You should not be able to see "staples" showing, that usually is shingles missing as they are overlapped with the next course- covering the fasteners completely.
An outside picture would help, about 6' away---- only if you are comfortable up there!
P.S. need more inside pics as well...
is this a modular or factory built home ?
You have some issues there. More pictures would be helpful as well as pictures of where the mold is concentrated.
You have had a system moisture, either bulk or humidity, issue that was not handled by the roof or the ventilation.
Those all need to be addressed in conjunction with the re-framing of that roof and the re-sheeting of that roof.
I would not sister lumber to those failed trusses. Re-build them.
Thanks for your replies. What a headache. It's a stick built home. I have 4 roof vents and there are soffit vents on both sides of the attic. There's mold on almost every rafter...harder to tell how much is on the sheathing but it's extensive. Most of the insulation feels/looks dry but hard to tell how much mold is on it.
I'll post more pics soon.
Some of the roof it's self would be nice.

Here are the roof pics.

...and a couple more roof pics
Looks like it could be trapped moisture from inside the attic area. A hot roof could be the cause as well as exhaust vents being dumped into the attic area. If your climate gets below freezing in the Winter this can cause this issue.
Houses with these problems I most often see the most rot on the upper part of the roof structure. By the looks of it in your pics I see even trusses that show some rot, not good!
Of course an inproperly installed roof system can also cause water to leak in and cause this.
Others are correct, also - The EXPOSED NAILS ON THE VENT BOOTS AND TIE-BACKS on the stack NEED TO BE SEALED (caulked over with roofing caulk so seal out moisture/water) ALSO, it is NOT a good idea to run a nail through a shingle when it is exposed to the weather as water can get into it ESPECIALLY as the nail rusts.
your roof is shot.
you do not have enough vents.
You need to remove all of the plywood,some of the trusses need attention and you need new shingles with a ridge vent. On to of that, most likely you do not have enough soffit venting.
I would suggest you do something in the near future.

About MeHello MM! I am a model who is currently agency represented in NYC.
I am Filipino, Chinese, Spanish and Caucasian. I have always loved my mixed heritage and really enjoy seeing all of the different pieces of that heritage that pop out in a shoot.
I graduated from George Washington University with a degree in Business Management and am now looking to focus purely on modeling. I travel often (mostly up and down the East Coast and over in Europe) and am hoping that modeling can be a career that travels with me.
I love working as a model because it has given me the opportunity to meet some incredible people and learn about all the different kinds of fashion and photography! I have a deep appreciation for all that goes into a great shoot. I am truly in awe of some of the amazing talent I have come across in this industry from photographers, make-up and hair artists, stylists all the way to the interns and assistants. I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had and am looking forward to many more to come.
Thanks for your interest! Feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with some of you soon!

Bad Girls: The Most Powerful, Shocking, Amazing, Thrilling & Dangerous… (original 2008; edition 2008)

Bad Girls: The Most Powerful, Shocking, Amazing, Thrilling & Dangerous Women of all Time by Jan Stradling (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I liked the book for the fact that it never really said that the women were "bad" it however, pointed out that the women stepped out of traditional roles and that's why we tend to make them out to be bad. I mean some did do bad things but she puts a back story behind why they made those choices and actions. She even cleared up some misconceptions for me such as Mata Hari being a spy when she wasn't. I really loved this book. It's great for history aficionados and fans of feminist-ic history or those who are interested in history of infamous people. What I enjoyed is in the introduction is that she mentions that men have a tendency to be biased against women and that this is being written by a woman will put these infamous women in a better light than we think. Such as Queen Mary I of England and "Typhoid" Mary Mallon, who was criticized, but she only knew how to cook. She actually inspired humane treatment of people. A very good book.
An interesting treatment of women who stepped out of their traditional roles in society to become famous (or infamous) for their actions. The stories are told with a certain sympathy - even for the worst ones. Crimes are not condoned, but an understanding of the frustration, abuse, or other background lends a kind of understanding to the later crimes.
The book covers 22 women, including Cleopatra VII, Boudica, Malinali, Cixi, Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary), Mata Hari, Georgia Tann, Madame Mao, Leila Khaled, and Imelda Marcos. In spite of the number of American "bad girls," this book has a distinct British feel.

No descriptions found.
This historic survey of 22 of the most ruthless, ambitious women of all time will inspire readers at the same time as it shocks. These are sassy, brilliant, magnetic, cunning, and tough-as-nails women who defied the social mores of their eras. Each gripping story speaks for itself: from Queen Mary I who did 'what it took' to protect Catholicism in England, to Madame Mao who became one of communist China's most powerful and feared leaders, to Georgia Tann who, as a director of the Tennessee Children's Home, made millions selling babies on the black market. These anti-heroines battled against the odds and often against the status quo, succeeding in turning the power structure, if only for a short time, directly on its head. Some were cruel, others visionary, yet others blinded by ambition or love. Many were driven by a powerful combination of these and other primal forces."--Provided by publisher.… (more)

In Vietnam gaming really does pay, and getting a job working as a gamer will probably make your parents really happy too due to the high wage you will earn. Sound unusual doesn't it? But apparently, playing online games for other people is big business and can earn more than some of your more typical jobs.
In a game such as World of Warcraft there is a lot of grinding involved to reach the higher character levels. A lot of gamers don't want to go through this process, or just don't have time, so in Vietnam they have started paying other players to do it for them.
This translates to a full-time gamer earning as much as US$160 a month. As an equivalent, a teacher in the region earns no more than US$100 a month.
The practice is so popular in places like Ha Noi and HCM City that companies have been setup. They employ gamers to play all day (9am-8pm) and pay them around US$103 a month. The companies then advertise their services to other gamers who want to progress in the online game of their choice.
When I first stumbled upon this news I thought it was going to start talking about gold farming. But this is a very different and legitimate way of playing online games. It seems strange to me that people would want a game played for them, but if you don't have hours to spend every night grinding away, but want to keep up with your friends or reach a certain goal I can see why it might make sense.
I think this would make a nice work-break for some people if it came over to the West. Rather than that office job every day you could take the month off, play online games all day and get a pay check at the end of it. I doubt it would pay anywhere near as good as in Vietnam, relatively speaking, but it would still be a basic income.

Store owner takes stand in NM gun raid trial
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico gun store owner accused of selling weapons to Mexican drug cartels testified Monday that he never took seriously comments from a customer-turned-informant who talked about taking guns and ammunition south of [auth] the border.
Rick Reese, owner of New Deal Shooting Sports in Deming, says the man was boisterous and bragging all the time, so he didn't believe anything he said.
Reese, his wife, Terri, and their sons, Ryin and Remington, are on trial on charges that they sold assault rifles and ammunition to the informant and undercover federal agents.
Closing arguments in the case could come Tuesday afternoon.
The informant, Jose Roman, testified against the Reeses last week. Roman implicated the family after he was arrested in January 2011 on marijuana distribution charges.
Reese first took the stand Friday, saying he would have thrown Roman out of the store if he had thought Roman was serious when he talked about the arms going to Mexico to battle La Sinaloa drug cartel.
Under cross-examination, Reese admitted saying, "Even if I took a (military truck) full of ammo to Mexico, it wouldn't help you guys." Reese said he was talking hypothetically, saying no amount of ammunition would improve the situation in Mexico.
Reese also said he made a comment about hoping the guns go to Mexico and are used "to shoot federales." He explained that a son's friend had been killed in the Mexican border town of Palomas, and he "was hoping that the people victimized were able to defend themselves."
Terri Reese testified later Monday that it wasn't uncommon for Roman to bring customers into the store and give advice on what guns to buy. Her husband also had testified last week that it was not unusual for experienced buyers to help others negotiate transactions.
But prosecutors played some undercover videos aimed at showing that Terri Reeves knew that the guns Roman bought were for him and not the people he brought in.
Prosecutors claim the defendants sold 34 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition to the undercover agents and Roman, who acted as the negotiator for the agents.
Defense lawyers defense maintain the Reeses followed all legal procedures during the undercover sales and kept detailed records. Defense attorneys also noted that Terri Reese contacted law enforcement after a suspicious transaction in 2010.

Steamboat's Suzanne Lyon races toward the finish of her second run Friday at a high school slalom race at Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs. Lyon finished 11th, bouncing back from a bad first run with a great second try. Her teammate, Sarah White, was great on both her turns, winning the event and paving the way as Steamboat won both the boys and girls team titles.

1. Re: Detecting if Scripting Of java applets is disabled in browser.843802 Nov 9, 2005 2:13 AM (in response to 843802)"Scripting Of Java Applets" option only controls whether script languages can call Java Applet composed by <applet> tag. If <object> tag is used to load applet, that option makes no effect.
If the purpose is to control scriptability of your applet, set the following parameter with your <object> tag instead:

2. Re: Detecting if Scripting Of java applets is disabled in browser.843802 Aug 14, 2010 3:34 PM (in response to 843802)Hi all,
1) I would like to detect whether the java-plugin of the internet explorer is enabled (i.e., Scripting Of java Applets is activated or not) using Java Script.
Within firefox this could be easily done using the Java-Script "navigator.javaEnabled" method.
Unfortunately, this method does not work in IE.
Moreover, I tried the "pinlady" detection (http://www.pinlady.net/PluginDetect/) as well as the "deployJava.js" (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/applet/applet_deployment.html) "libraries". Both "libraries" failed to determine the activation status of the Java plugin correctly for IE.
I can not believe, that there is no way to detect the activation status of a Java plugin within IE correctly ...
2) Moreover, I analyzed that within Internet Explorer (IE) an applet starts (i.e., the init() & start-methods are invoked) even if the Java plugin is disabled / deactivated. In my opinion, this is not a desired application behavior. For example, using Firefox the applet does not start when the Java plugin is diabled.
Can anybody explain this behavior or give me some more information?
I really appreciate your help!!!
Kind regards,

I'm sorry sir, but we told you to never come back to this restaurant after you broke our entire wine cellar. You're not fooling anyone with that fake name - you are clearly Gary Busey. Even if your hair wasn't characteristically feathered under that baseball cap, your gravelly rehab voice would be a sure giveaway. And a good day to you, sir.

In the past 4 years I've gone from the 17″ PowerBook, to a 15″ Powerbook, to a 13″ MacBook. Each time I've upgraded the system, but clearly downgraded the display size. I get by because of the 20″ LCD I connect to on my desk at home, so the shrinkage hasn't been as difficult as it may seem.
The speculation from Insanely Great Mac, that 15″ MacBook Pros may be dropped from Apple's Pro line of notebooks makes me wonder how people feel about the size options that Apple offers in their notebook line. They observe the drop in cost on 17″ LCDs as an indication that Apple may just go with the 17″ MacBook Pro rather than continuing the 15″ version.
My knee jerk reaction was to blow the idea off and call IGM crazy. But the more I think about it, the more it makes some sense to me. The features in the MacBook Pro (15″) are very similar to those found in the MacBook (only in 13″ currently). So a 15″ MacBook model at say, a $1799 price point could make a big difference for a lot of prospective buyers on the lower end. And based on Apple's clear division (since the Intel move) of their notebook lines being split up by size, the likelihood of the 15″ version of the MacBook Pro slipping out of sight seems pretty legitimate.
But while I can see some possibility in a move like this, I can't help but feel the 15″ MacBook Pro model is one that people would be a bit sore at losing. 17″ of notebook is a bit much, especially when you're carting it around in your bag, walking all over a city for your job (been there, done that, have the traps to show for it…). Losing optional sizing in the Pro models could very well put many consumers off.
How would a shift of this nature fly with you?

Vox Pop- Sept. 29
How do you get the label?
Live around or with several kids I care about. Problem is that you can be labeled as a sex offender for urinating in your back yard at 2 a.m., if someone is paying attention to your business. When do we call something a sex crime? And when does someone get that label?
How long will it take?
So here we are in the last week of September and they are still working on Seventh Avenue in the southeast side of town. How long does it take to do a little bit of road? I've seen people build entire highways in my time as long as it takes to build one small road area.
What about mortgage trades?
To help the housing crisis, banks should consider mortgage trades. If you can no longer afford the home you're in, maybe you can afford another home the bank is sitting on. This way it saves consumer's credit and helps to not have all these bank-owned homes sitting around deteriorating.
School referendum
I recently took a class at Forestview School in Baxter. What a waste of taxpayers' money to build a school that looks like a castle. Brainerd should have had classes in Washington School and Franklin School with a little renovation. Now everybody meets in these buildings. The state hospital could easily be renovated to hold classes for school. No, the school system would rather have taxpayers pay big money to build more very expensive buildings for schools. A building never taught one kid anything. Say no to new buildings. For schools, use the state hospital buildings.

"We want the answers and we want the federal government to acknowledge and validate the illegal, unethical and human-rights abuses that happened to women"
The United Church of Canada is poised to strike a special task force dedicated to uncovering historic forced adoption practices
The 4,500-square-foot vault is a temperature-controlled former television studio, maintained at a precise 18 C with a relative humidity of 30%. The shelved boxes — all 23,000 of them — are made of acid-free cardboard and contain information that dates at least as early as 1792. These glassed-in...
The Presbyterian Church in Canada has launched an internal review of its historic maternity home practices, becoming the third church to do so since the National Post last month began an investigation
An elderly Spanish nun appeared in court on Thursday to face charges of stealing babies, after claims by hundreds of women that their infants were taken from them at birth and given away in illegal adoptions.
Reporter Kathryn Blaze Carlson looks at what's next in the push for an investigation into forced adoptions targeting unmarried women between the 1940s and 1980s
She was told her baby girl had died during birth. The baby didn't die, though. She was adopted by a married couple
Amid growing evidence of coercive adoption practices targeting unmarried mothers between the 1940s and 1980s, politicians across the country are calling for investigations into what many mothers allege was a systemic bid to secure their babies for adoption
When Ms. Taylor pressed the Minister of Children and Youth Services about launching an inquiry, he said his ministry is "not aware of a concerted policy to obtain babies for adoption from unmarried mothers" and then cited the province's current adoption laws
For the first time in 50 years, Barbara Maison does not feel "so completely alone" in her grief over being coerced to surrender her son for adoption, and after four decades of shame, Robin Turner only now feels validated and worthy of respect

Over the weekend when Madonna fell from her horse, there were the initial reports that she was dumped by the horse because a photographer had spooked the horse. Why? Because that is what Madonna's publicist released to the media. Apparently Madonna or someone told this to her and so she released it that way. Later, when the media started digging they found out the pap had never been mentioned in the police reports and Madonna had never mentioned it to the police. So, why did the story come out?
Well, according to Madonna's publicist, "Madonna was barely conscious and had fainted twice, right after the fall and when she was in the ambulance.
"She only remembers giving the police her name. They never asked her what happened. This could have been a very dangerous situation and we're just all grateful that she wasn't hurt more seriously."
It could have been dangerous and I'm glad she is ok, but someone passed along the story about the pap almost immediately after it happened. So, if Madonna who was barely conscious and had fainted twice, but managed to work out the next day didn't say it, then who did?
This story that she only remembers giving her name to the police is really convenient for everyone isn't it? Then throw in the fact we should be grateful she is alive and then you feel sorry for questioning anything about the whole story.

Develop Your child's inner strength through childrens taekwondo
On this page we
- Tell you about the benefits of taekwondo for children
- We tell you what childrens taekwondo involves
- And we show you an outstanding taekwondo kid in action
What are the benefits of taekwondo for children?
First up taekwondo is hard physical exercise. Exercise is really important for kids. It helps keeps their bodies healthy and strong. And lets them blow off steam.
Tkd is also mental exercise for kids.
Children in taekwondo have to memorize complex sequences of moves. Through training they learn to concentrate for extended periods. And this focus often extends out into other parts of their life. Parents often notice school work improving once kids start training.
Through taekwondo sparring, kids learn to face confrontation.
Kids often find this tough - our daughter certainly did.
However, knowing that you can cope with confrontation is great.
It leads to increased self confidence and self esteem.
These are great qualities which help your kids get the most out of life.
Taekwondo for young kids is especially good. They get all these benefits early in life and set good habits for their futures. Usually 5 is the minimum age to start training.
For more detail about the benefits of taekwondo for children head here.
What does childrens taekwondo involve?
- Exercise- running, jumping, pushups, sit-ups... This gets your kid fit and strong.
- Stretching. Children start out supple. Taekwondo keeps them that way. And if you are flexible you are much less likely to get injuries in sport.
- Kicking and punching. Your kid will learn some powerful kicks and punches. It's great to know your kid can defend herself.
- Taekwondo Patterns. Sequences of moves your child has to learn and perform. Great for building concentration and focus.
- Taekwondo sparring. A lesson in coping with confrontation and overcoming fear.
- Belt tests. A test of your child's taekwondo skills. But also a lesson in performing in front of a panel and coming through exams.
- Board breaking. A test of childrens taekwondo skills. But also their determination. Very empowering!
- A code of conduct. Taekwondo has a set of values or tenants. Kids learn that values like respect and courtesy are important. They learn to be self disciplined. And they develop a strong spirit.
IF you think taekwondo is right for your child here's some tips for choosing between taekwondo schools.
An outstanding taekwondo child

Want to guess how old Jorn is?...

We caught up with Jorn's family to find out more about him.
Where are you from?
Bangkok, Thailand
How long has Jorn been training?
Two and a half years. He's now 1st Poome. (This means Jorn is a junior black ).

What does he love most about taekwondo?Jorn loves poomse the most. He can not only remember all of the forms up to Ilyeo, but also can perform them at competition standard too.
Has he got any tips for other taekwondo children to help them learn their patterns?
Practise. Practise every day. If you want to be a champion work on it. If you work as hard as a champion and a little bit harder, then you'll certainly be able to beat the champion!
Childrens taekwondo certainly looks to be a great thing for Jorn!

See what others are saying about The Legacy Family:
Chapter 1/2: Introduction/InstallationFor the absolute beginner who has never used Legacy before, these chapters get you up and running covering what you may need to make the most of your Legacy experience. A simple rundown of all the views explains to the user what they can expect to find.
Chapter 3: Starting Your Family TreeThis chapter builds on the introduction by going through the motions of what to do and how to do it. There is nothing worse than when someone says simply do this and this and this, but if youve never done it, how are you meant to do it if youve never been shown. When you click something, anything in a program, how are you meant to know if what youve done is correct? This chapter explains a lot of what you will expect to see and how to do it to get you started.
Chapter 4: Customising LegacyOne of the best features in Legacy is the way in which you can make Legacy act and do your research the way you want to. This rather lengthy chapter explains all the ins and outs in customising Legacy to your needs and what every option does. If there are multiple ways of doing things, examples define the differences so you can see before you try.
Chapter 5: Whats New in Legacy 7If youve never seen Legacy before, this chapter highlights all the features available in the latest version. There are many example throughout this lengthy chapter. All the 23 main features are defined including the big guns of Charting and Mapping.
Chapter 6: Searching Your DatabaseThis chapter delves into one of the main canons of Legacy and how you can search your database for that elusive piece of data or person. If you have a very large database, the last thing you want to do is have to trawl through, hoping you will find what you want. Do it the easy way and let the program work for you in a fraction of the time you would normally search for data.
Chapter 7: USR FilesThis very brief chapter simply summarises what each of the USR files are for.
Chapter 8: Structured SentencesThis chapter delves into the area of how creating structured sentences can work in your favour when creating reports. Gone are the days where mono-syllabic sentences highlighted the fact that the report is computer generated. Although the reports are still computer generated, Legacy can create lasting prose, and this chapter shows you how.
Chapter 9: Backing UpOne thing most people always forget to do is to make that valuable backup. Dont be fooled by the fact that your computer is brand new. It has been made by a human, and as we all know, we are not infallible. Things break, they wear out, and when something doesnt work any more and you havent got a backup of your valuable data, what are you going to do? This chapter shows you exactly what to do.
Chapter 10: Creating a Web SiteYouve spent a lot of time putting your data together and want now to show it off. Naturally one of the first things you will want to do is put it on the Internet. However, this chapter delves not only into what you can do, but what you should also not do. Although a slight learning curve is involved, everything is explained, including on how to put your data onto the Internet.
Chapter 11: Sharing InformationThis chapter delves into two ways of sharing your data with others whether it be friends, relatives or fellow researchers. The main emphasis is on the eight steps to creating a GEDCOM.
Chapter 12: Moving Legacy AroundIf youve just had one computer, do you know what to do to get your information from your old computer to your new computer? And the answer may not be as obvious as you may think. This chapter shows you how, and also builds on the information you have learned from previous chapters in this book to make sure that your migration to a new computer is pain free and effortless.
Section 2: TreeDraw for LegacyThis charting add-on for Legacy is an easy to use program. Emphasis is on a tutorial which shows most of the features that can be found in this program and how it can be used for your research.
Section 3: Map My Family TreeAlthough Legacy 7 has a mapping feature in its latest version, MMFT is program based and not Internet reliable that can create vector-based maps based on your ancestors in the database. The maps can be saved as images and inserted into reports, and this chapter also shows you how to work out migration patterns based on the data within Legacy.
Section 4: Genelines for LegacyLegacy has over 100 reports, but sometimes a report just doesnt cut it where a graph can clearly display perfectly what you want to say. This chapter shows all the different charts available and how they can work for you. Just think what your friends would say when they see the charts from Genelines interspersed with the reports from Legacy.
Section 5: GENViewer.Want to view data from a GEDCOM, but dont want to spend time importing the data into a new file. This chapter shows what GENViewer can do for you and how the program can do a lot of other things that you never thought were possible. A definite utility once you read this.
Section 6: GENMatcherAnother stable utility that must be in all genealogists arsenal of tools. This chapter shows you what the program is capable of doing with your own data, what comparisons it is able to do for you without changing a thing in your database. It shows you not only how, but what files can be compared and how easily the data lines up for you to make the final conclusions.
Section 7: Pocket GenealogistNeed to go mobile, PG may be the answer you are looking for? This chapter delves into what you can and cant do, and how easily you will be untethered from your PC but with all your information still on hand.
Section 8: GedStar Pro for LegacyVHS vs Beta, PC vs MAC, and while Pocket Genealogist is for the Pocket PC, GedStar is for the Palm. This chapter show the differences between the two handhelds, and how to display the data and what it can do for you.
Section 9: Heritage Collector SuiteA new name for an old add-on, Heritage Collector Suite explains in depth how to manage your multimedia on your computer. This program is extensively explored with detailed analysis in all its key areas from Basic through to Professional. This chapter shows you how you will ever have got by without a program of this nature.
Section 10: Passage ExpressIf you want to create a multimedia experience that can be packaged and distributed to your friends and family, this chapter shows how this program can do that for you. Spread over the chapter in three steps, you will find out how to create treasures for others to view and remember forever.
Section 11: Personal HistorianEver wanted to write a family history, but didnt know how. This chapter shows you how you can take the impossible and make it possible in the simplest of ways, with personal Historian taking the complexity out of the equation.
Section 12: Video Training SeriesThis chapter goes through each step on each video briefly outlining what to expect from your tutor Geoff Rasmussen. After reading this chapter, if you dont have the series you will want to get it; and if you have the series, you will want to watch them all again.
Section 13: Takin Care of BusinessLastly we visit who is behind what you have come to know of as Legacy. It is more than just a program. It is a legion of devoted people giving their time so you can research your family history. If you thought there was just Ken, Dave, and Sherry, you will be very surprised of who you may find

Not love as a door mat, something to walk on, but real authentic empowered love. EMPOWERED FROM THE HEART love. Where living in your heart is normal, being transparent in politics, business, school,banking, media, is the golden rule. That we hold everything to love, everything. And those who treat others with complete disregard are stood up too. Love is not a coward to those who are violent, oppressing others, and controlling. It is disappointing that we don't hold our leaders to highest regard, we need too. A politician serves the country, so why do we have lobbyists? Why do we have leaders who give themselves pay raises for not doing their jobs and then tell the country to work hard, why? When did going to church, and spiritual centers become a show? We have ministers, Reverends who are bigger then their spiritual homes or churches and no one cares? We have leaders who don't walk their walk, teachers who don't teach what they preach, and yet we are wired to love. WHY ISN'T LOVE GETTING ANGRY AND STANDING UP NOW? Where is the lovers of love? Love is not a cowardly lion.. [Read more…]

Cult Treasures & Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs
- 24.00 x 17.00 cm
- Hardback
- 192pp
- 105 Illustrations, 90 in colour
- First published 2013
'Suitable for goths, art historians and everyone in between … Incredible relics' – Book Depository
'It's utterly spectacular, hugely interesting and almost unbelievable'– All About History
'Bling from the edges of eternity' – Annie Lennox
'The grinning, bejewelled catacomb saints who stare our from the pages of Koudounaris challenge us to engage in deeper exercises, spiritual and intellectual; to recreate lost forms of devotional life; to understand how they inspired and deformed the study of the Christian past; and to imagine what it felt like to believe that the gauze-wrapped skeleton in your church was a time lord, whose sight and touch could help to save your soul' – The London Review of Books
Following the success of The Empire of Death, which has attracted a global cult following, Heavenly Bodies brings the 'catacomb saints' out of the darkness for the first time
In 1578 a labyrinth of underground burials was discovered in Rome that contained the remains of thousands of individuals assumed to be early Christian martyrs. The bones were disinterred and sent to many Catholic churches and religious houses in German-speaking Europe to replace holy relics that had been destroyed during the Protestant Reformation.
Reassembled by skilled artisans, encrusted with gold and jewels and richly dressed in fantastic costumes, the skeletons were displayed in elaborate public shrines as reminders of the spiritual treasures that awaited the faithful after death. For nearly three centuries these 'Heavenly Bodies' were venerated as miracle-workers and protectors of their communities until doubts about their authenticity surfaced in the modern era. They then became a source of embarrassment for the Church and most were destroyed or hidden away.
The book includes arresting images of more than seventy spectacular jeweled skeletons and the fascinating stories of dozens more, accompanied by rare archive material. This is the first time that some of these incredible relics – both intriguing historical artifacts and masterpieces of artistic craftsmanship in their own right – have appeared in a publication, with Koudounaris gaining unprecedented access to photograph in some of the most secretive religious establishments in Europe.
Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this is a tour de force of original cultural history with deepest resonances for a modern audience fascinated by visual representations of death.
Paul Koudounaris lives in Los Angeles, where he took his doctorate in the art history department of UCLA. His first book, The Empire of Death: A Cultural History of Ossuaries and Charnel Houses, was published by Thames & Hudson in 2011.

So basically 3 zombie games for the Community choice...
I guess I'll vote for the only good one...
Also the one that everybody owns.Hudomonkey;817122 said:So basically 3 zombie games for the Community choice...

Not a good pole at all honestly. Walking Dead would've made a bit more sense than Infestation/War Z/spiritual sequal to Big Rigs.
Is it worth getting it on Steam if I have it on console?
I have heard there are some pretty cool mods etc..
Left 4 Dead? I'd say so at that price. There are custom maps, but I never played them so I don't know how good they are, but all the DLC maps from Xbox are free on the steam version if you don't have them.Hudomonkey;817124 said:Is it worth getting it on Steam if I have it on console?

Well Torchlight II is up for 75% off for Community Choice. I voted Gunpoint. You know, the game that hasn't already been on sale 50 times. Oh well.
In my defense, I voted for that because I completely forgot about the rebrand, because Dead Island Riptide probably sucks, and because I already had Left 4 Dead 2. Doesn't matter, I guess. Left 4 Dead 2 will probably sweep the whole thing, as usual.Gman5852;817121 said:FYI on the new pole. Infestation:Survivor Stories is literally just the War Z rebranded so people don't realize it(also they lost the rights to War Z because World War Z), so don't vote for it.
Well on the plus side, it will probably be a flash/daily here soon.Rather Dashing;817148 said:WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
They DIDN'T pick Gunpoint?!
Disappointed that Gunpoint wasn't picked as well. Already own it, but it could probably use some more sales.
Won't bother listing the flash deals since there's so little time left on them and they were pretty uninteresting anyway.

What have any of you guys done for passing emission testing after installing LT? I have some ideas of what to do and keep cost down but I still want to get the best flow I can but keep costs down as much as I can. I plan on running cats for the smell and staying legal, but just wondering if you guys are passing with High Flows and what you are doing.
On a similar/side note, would taking the resonator off of the Corsa cause to much drone? Sound isn't to much of an issue but it is a DD and will have the family in it too but the drone is more of the concern.

We believe it's possible to potentially achieve better risk-adjusted returns from multi-asset investing. Over the longer term all asset classes are driven by economic fundamentals. By identifying inefficiencies in valuations between markets, value can be added to clients' portfolios through dynamic allocations to different assets and markets.
Our multi-asset product is tuned to the individual needs of institutional investors.
We offer multi-asset investing through either.
We believe absolute returns are more important over the longer term than those relative to a benchmark or index. We use the risk-free rate* as a starting point to measure the attractiveness of different asset classes, and we are comfortable taking decisive positions away from a benchmark.
The team manages individual components of the portfolio with our relevant investment teams, as well as coordinating investment strategies.
They also offer advice on tactical and strategic asset allocation. This can be through the physical trading of the underlying asset classes or through highly specialised pooled asset allocation of funds, depending on clients' requirements.

I'm Giving Back And Cycling To Help End Cancer's Deadly Toll
I was raised in a traditional household. My father worked long hours to support our family. My mother worked longer hours caring for three kids and our home. But upholding tradition was not my parents' hope for their children. We were expected to become respectful, independent adults, and the rest was up to us. There was never any attention paid to limits; our parents would ask us what we wanted, push us to want more, and then teach us to fight for it. I remember my father asking me, at age six, what I wanted to be when I grew up. "A ballerina and a firefighter," I told him. "You are very smart," my father told me. "You could do something that would help people. You could be a doctor," he said, and it sounded like the best idea I'd ever heard.
Of course, it wasn't only my father's suggestion to his spunky little girl that led me to follow the path I have chosen. My grandfather, a warm and wonderful man who was the anchor of our family, was diagnosed with prostate cancer soon after my tenth birthday. His disease had already spread to his bones, but he opted for palliative chemotherapy, enduring disabling pain and awful side effects for the chance to have more time with his family.
Six months later, my mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
I remember asking to be picked up from a friend's sleepover party because I was too worried my mother might die while I was gone. I watched as she got through her treatment in her usual take-no-prisoners style, and my mother has now been cancer-free for nearly 25 years. My much-beloved grandfather died when I was 17, at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, where I had a co-op placement in a research lab upstairs. When my grandfather became too weak to eat, I would sneak him his favourite Smarties.
It was shocking to see what cancer could do to the most vivacious, fun-loving man I knew. A few years later, when I was applying to medical school, my brother Aron, then 19, was diagnosed with advanced melanoma. Our youngest brother wanted to know if he would be like Terry Fox; I watched my mother choke back her tears. After surgery, Aron endured a year of self-injected cancer treatment that made him feel like he had the flu constantly. Sitting in a lecture on melanoma treatment a year later, I raised my hand to ask the oncologist why the survival curve only showed one year results. The treatment was too new, he answered, to know anything beyond that. Aron is 33 now, cancer-free, and expecting his second daughter.
On my first day of medical residency, I remember how lucky I felt to be in a position to repay the debt my family owed to the medical system that cared for us. After years of training to become a Pediatric Immunologist, I am privileged to work with children who need bone marrow and stem cell transplants at Sick Kids Hospital. Most of my patients have cancer, and their cancers are some of the most difficult to treat. The days are long for those of us who work on my ward, and longer for the families who live there while we treat their kids. My work is intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding.
Sometimes I get a smile from a three-year-old when I come to see him, though I know he's needed three medications to stop the vomiting and a morphine drip for his pain. Sometimes I get to help a twelve-year-old play one more practical joke before she can have a peaceful death. Sometimes I get to go to a patient's room and tell her and her parents that the transplant has worked, and that for the first time the cancer is truly gone. Sometimes it stays gone, but we -- the families and the medical team -- are always waiting for cancer's other shoe to drop.
Nine years ago, my brother Aron convinced our father to sign up for a 200-kilometre fundraising bike ride to Niagara Falls, the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Cancer. They had never ridden their bicycles more than a few kilometers. They had clunky mountain bikes and thought padded shorts looked ridiculous. But they formed a group called Team Suck-It-Up, a refrain we heard often as children, because even when there was a lot to complain about, we were taught to carry on.
My family's toughness had seen us through many difficult times, and that attitude has carried us across the Ride finish line every year since. The tam has become an assembly of extended family and friends, all riding for our own reasons, all of us -- as we truly all are -- touched by cancer and our desire to help end its deadly toll. For me it is a chance to reflect, not only on my family's experiences with cancer, but also on my work with children and families who continue to live with cancer and its fallout every day.
My own children spend summer days learning to ride longer distances so they can join the team when they grow up. My patients light up when I tell them I am riding for them. One thirteen-year-old young man, once among the sickest and most complex patients I have ever cared for, still wears my Ride bracelet and I have no doubt he will one day be cycling by my side to the finish line.
Team Suck-It-Up will be riding again this year, fundraising to add to the more than $650,000 we have raised for cancer research, and to the over $138 million raised by the Ontario Ride since its inception in 2008. Our bikes have gotten lighter and our shorts have gained some padding. The distances that once seemed a bridge too far are now a walk in the park. But the tears still sting our eyes when we remember why we ride.

It's no surprise smoking is the number one thing to avoid in order to prevent cancer. It's responsible for 30 per cent of all cancer deaths, and smoking can increase the risk of lung cancer, for example, by nine times.
Even if you don't smoke, you can be affected by those around you. People who are near smoking are 1.4 times more likely to get lung cancer than others.
Not having a healthy body weight (defined generally as a BMI of lower than 25) can increase your risk for a variety of cancers, including esophageal, uterine, liver, kidney, pancreatic, breast and colorectal cancer.
It's a big yes for veggies and fruit, as well as fibre, but red and processed meat is what you want to avoid. While eating lots of fibre, for example, can help reduce colorectal cancer risk, eating the meats can increase it.
Drinking any type of alcohol — at all — increases your risk for head/neck, esophageal, colorectal, breast and liver cancer (and potentially pancreatic too). You can decrease the risk by keeping your alcohol use confined to one drink a day for women, and two for men.
Getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day is what you should be aiming for. Otherwise, you're at risk for colorectal cancer and could be setting yourself up for lung, uterine and breast cancer.
We've heard about many ways in which sitting is bad for your health, but this could be the scariest one. Sitting too much (which is different from having physical activity) can increase your risk for colorectal, uterine, ovarian and prostate cancer.
Any type of tanning increases your risk for skin cancer — up to 64 per cent more for squamous cell carcinoma.
Hepatitis B and HPV both increase the risk for cancer, but there are vaccines that can help prevent them.
The presence of radon gas is associated with an increased risk for lung cancer — test your home to see if it's there.
This one is a double-edged sword. For women taking HRT post-menopause, it can increase the risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer, but may help decrease the risk for colorectal cancer. Birth control pills, meanwhile, have been associated with an increased risk for breast, cervical and liver cancer, but a decreased risk for uterine and ovarian cancer. If you're concerned, talk to your doctor about options.

[caption id="attachment_7405" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Chris with one of his masterpieces![/caption]
Meet Chris Kasparek, the cake boss of Naples, Italy.
He's a Navy civilian, marathon runner and cake designer extraordinaire. And he's putting all his talents to work for the USO.
Kasparek hadn't planned on running a marathon this year, but a few months ago he saw a Facebook post about Team USO and decided he couldn't pass up the opportunity to compete for a good cause.
"I had run three [marathons] in the last five years and had felt my body just wasn't up for it," he said, "And then I saw the link and was inspired."
Team USO has a limited number of guaranteed registrations for the New York City marathon for runners who raise a minimum of $3,000. Slots are also available for the Marine Corps marathon, with a fundraising requirement of $1,200 and the Air Force marathon with a $700 requirement.
Kasparek, the Navy's director of child and youth programs in Naples, will compete in the New York City event, and he knew exactly how he would raise the dough. He put out the word to friends and colleagues, offering one of his famous custom cakes in exchange for a contribution.
The 37-year-old husband and father of two first started baking cakes for his children's birthday parties, carrying on a tradition passed down by his father.
"My dad had decorated our cakes when we were kids growing up… I watched him and it was just like, 'I want to do that for my kids.' They've already said they want to do it for their kids." You name it, he's baked it—pirates and princesses, penguins and ponies, and every imaginable superhero.
So far, Kasparek has raised $3,360 for the USO, with about $700 coming from his cakes. He's hoping to push past the $4,000 mark by race time.
He's been passionate about the USO since working with them last year after the deadly earthquake and tsunami in Japan. He was sent to the Seattle airport to help coordinate child care for Japanese families who'd been evacuated to the U.S., and he was immediately impressed by the USO's efficiency and compassion.
"Through their communications avenues, donations were coming in—diapers, food for the babies, games, coloring books, just everything that would make these families comfortable as they arrived from Japan… Whatever we needed, they found a way to get for us."
Kasparek feels it's his turn to give back to the USO and the troops.
He recently added a weight loss challenge to his fundraising efforts. He's trying to shed 35 pounds by race time. If he doesn't lose it all, he'll pay back part of your pledge and cover the difference himself.
"I've slowed down on the cakes so I can concentrate on training," said Kasparek, "Cakes don't help training." - Malini Wilkes , USO Director of Story Development

Several large domestic companies are taking advantage of the revival of international investor interest in India to raise cheap funds abroad with which they are retiring high cost debt on their books.
Experts said these large foreign inflows, coming after a period when foreign investors had turned tepid towards Indian companies, could be the first step towards a revival of the stalled investment cycle, which is considered the main reason for the stubborn economic slowdown in India.
Tata Steel, Reliance Communications, Bharti Airtel, GMR Group, Lanco and the Leela Group of Hotels have recently raised funds or are planning to do so in the near future. The favoured path: raise cheap loans abroad, sell non-core assets or place shares with large investors, including qualified institutional placements (QIPs).
"I see a huge revival of confidence in India following the election of Narendra Modi as prime minister. These investments could be the first step towards more foreign investors betting larger amounts on India," said Hemendra Kothari, chairman, DSP Black Rock, adding that several large global investors, who have not yet entered India, are waiting to do so.
The Anil Ambani-promoted Reliance Communications last week raised over Rs 6,100 crore, about three-fourth of it via QIPs to large investors in the US, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and West Asia.

Steady State
Steady-state Simulation
The DBS file parameter imode is used to control the simulation mode. This option is set to 1 for steady-state simulation.
nlc.imode = 1 % MATLAB example apm_option(server,app,'nlc.imode',1); # Python example apm_option(server,app,'nlc.imode',1)
The first step in model creation and testing is a steady state simulation. Steady state model simulations are employed to converge new model units, verify relationships between key process variables, and allign process values to typical operating regions. The SS (#1) and RTO (#3) modes are used to obtain an initial condition solution for all other modes of operation. The initial condition files rto.t0 and ss.t0 override default values given in the apm file.
