In its search for a reliable off-the-grid power source, the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove is the first in the nation to install streetlights powered by both the sun and the wind.
A vertical-axis wind turbine perched atop a concrete utility pole complements a 175 W solar panel placed directly above the 57 W luminaire. The EftsonScience Inc. system's controller ensures that the batteries that store the electricity generated by both sources, plus the sealed backup battery housed in the pole that provides up to three days of power, are neither over- nor under-charged. (To see a video of their installation, go to http://alturl/urcj.)
Placed 150 feet apart to provide standard photometrics, 25 of the futuristic-looking assets were installed last year in a formerly unlighted subdivision to provide full brightness from dusk until dawn. None of the turbines collected snow or ice buildup.
Almost half of the $282,500 project, which just received an award for technical innovation from the Chicago Metro Chapter of the American Public Works Association, was funded by a Community Development Block Grant.

Tying in floor joist to existing structure
I am expanding/extending my current bedroom and bath which will require removing rear exterior wall. My question is when tying in the new floor joist I plan to use 2x10 with one end sitting on the top plate of the new wall and the other I plan on using joint hanger to tie it into the existing rim board. will I have to double up the existing rimboard like I would for adding a deck? If I dont I know I will have 1" of nail sticking through the backside of the existing rim board going through the joist hanger.
Depends on where you live. Fl and LA are a lot stricter. To use shorter nails reduces the load accepted on the hanger. What does your plan say? The Inspector will look for this, for your family's safety. You could just cut an 1/8" wider space than joist width, and bear the new ones on the house sill plate, then nail to existing joists. You would then have your solid blocking required for rotation and fire-stop.
http://www.strongtie.com/products/co...rs/LUS-HUS.asp Be safe, G
You're removing the back wall of the house to expand the living space. There needs to be a header engineered for the new combined load. I just didn't see it mentioned in the post.
I using 2x10 over a 12'6" span the floor joist or part of a 2 story addition extending master bedroom and master bath. The deminsion of the project is 12'6" x 24'. I will be using 18 2x10 16" on center for the floor system on upper level the lower level is monolithic slab for floor. So Does the length of the nails going through the existing rim board which I will be attaching the joist to using joist hangers matter and should I use a ledger board under the hangers? As far as the engineered beams are concerned are you referring to the ceiling expansion (roof joist)for the roof? I don't know if I will be using LVL or dbl/triple 2x8 lumber.
are you talking about the joist hanger nails ?
if so, you have 1 1/2 " nails thru the flanges
the sides must be 2 1/2" nails IF they are "double shear" hangers.
double shear hangers will it stamped into the metal saying so
you need these longer nails in the side because they extend into the band board or header because there are fewer nails in the flanges.
I have seen many builders just use all 1 1/2 inch nails and the instectors never check.

These two versions of cilantro sauce are easy to make and are perfect for topping tacos, fish, chicken, and more! Vegetarian.
In a hurry? Click here to jump straight to the recipe!
Ahhhh, cilantro. Some people love it (me included) and some people hate it. These recipes aren't for those of you in the "I-hate-cilantro" camp – but for those of you who are just as nuts about cilantro as I am, these sauces will make great additions to your recipe collection!
I had cilantro pesto on the brain last week after my friend Maddie brought it up at lunch. I realized that I hadn't made it in quite awhile, and all of a sudden, I wanted cilantro EVERYTHING. So I whipped up a batch of this pesto and some yogurt sauce, and proceeded to slather it all over everything I ate.
It was pretty much awesome.
Like any pesto, you can use this on a variety of foods. I like to use it in salad dressings, quesadillas, pastas, to top my tacos, or as a marinade for chicken and pork. The yogurt sauce makes an ahhhhmazing marinade as well, and was a super-duper sauce for a steak taco. Get creative!
I have also officially hopped on the greek yogurt train. I'm pretty sure I'm the last person on the planet to discover how cool this stuff is, but WHAT!! It's my new obsession. I got a tub of the plain stuff from Chobani and have used it in place of sour cream for sauces, mashed potatoes, and potato salad. Mind-blowing. And packed full of protein, which means YAY. I'm going to pick up some vanilla later and give a few frozen yogurts a whirl. Should be exciting. Stay tuned. In the meantime, here is some cilantro-themed sauce-y goodness.
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 3 cups fresh cilantro
- ⅔ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 4 cloves garlic (3 if they're large)
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil (you probably won't need it all – I generally use about ¼ cup or so)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup cilantro pesto
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- Heat a skillet over high heat and lightly toast pine nuts (about 1 minute in the pan, stirring them constantly so that all sides get a bit of color). Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes or so.
- In a food processor, combine toasted pine nuts, cilantro, garlic, salt & pepper, and parmesan and pulse to give it a rough chop.
- With the food processor running, stream in olive oil a tablespoon at a time until pesto has come together. You may not need all of the olive oil – stream it in until your pesto is the consistency you want, and feel free to add additional oil if you want a thinner sauce!
- Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for up to a week.
- Combine pesto and yogurt and mix well. That's it! Enjoy.

I have not had the slightest piece of time, opportunity or reason this last year to revive the Kaplak Blog – or the Kaplak Log, as I think I'll soon rename it – until now.
For one thing, Kaplak doesn't exist as a proper company any longer, and for another I have a new job and position as a teacher of history and media. I've had my hands full, and I've still got a lot of new things to learn.
And there's the thing, that in a company blog like this, every post always seemed like it was building up expectations for the next, even longer and more insightful piece, and it became impossible to live up to. Eventually the blog simply lost it's pace, along with the energy and ideas which went down with the company and it's troubled work relationships.
Yet, I have never quite stopped thinking about the problems that we worked to solve in Kaplak. If I have, it has been only briefly and because I've been preoccupied with other thoughts and work. But I've watched and used the web and tools of the web just as intensively in my new position, yet with the major difference that I no longer has to study them, just because I have to find a way to make a living out of them. I use and study them because I find them interesting, and actually find myself in the position of someone looking for obscure niche products (such as documentary films, for instance). And I've realized over the past year, that we're nowhere near solutions to the problems we set out to solve – connecting products on the slim end of the long tail with their distant markets.
And this in spite of the widespread use of Twitter and Facebook, the improvements and new products of Google (Google Wave being the most interesting), lots of affiliate networks and business models (Amazon's model still in a prominent position), experiments with paying web contributors (Knol, Mahalo, Squidoo and others). In many ways, the web seems a lot more like in a standstill today than when we started out with Kaplak in 2007. Or when I first started out working with the web in 2003 and 2004. Back then Wikipedia was still a young experiment, and YouTube was a daring startup, not yet consolidated by Google. Peer-to-peer services were alive and well – and bittorrent was looking very promising. It still is promising, but has failed to expand into popular use, despite the efforts of startups such as Bittorrent.com and Joost (which was never a true p2p service, after all) and lots of free publicity for services such as The Pirate Bay. And despite the widespread sharing practices on services such as Facebook. Facebook never became a great place for sharing torrents, as the company was very quick to ban and remove users' links to torrent sites such as The Pirate Bay. Lots of startups have died trying, and Google and Facebook looks even more dominating in the webspace today than 5 years ago.
Noone talks much (or just as energetically) about Chris Anderson's ideas about 'the long tail' as many did just a few years ago, yet I still see the same opportunities in it for transcending core aspects of western, industrial society. While the economics (one can earn more in the tail than in the head) may or may not be true for particular types of businesses and product categories, the long tail helps demonstrate (and helped demonstrate at the time), that there is much more out there today than previously, and that there is a demand for it (however slight). Whether a business model is feasible in the long tail (with or without the head to support it), however, remains, in my humble opinion, a matter of finding the right business model and cutting costs appropriately. The vital component of both these priorities is an architecture which supports them, i.e. makes products accessible to their precise markets at the right time, and at very low cost. Now, what makes this difficult is that one has to build such an architecture in a totally convergent and converging field, where concepts such as producer, product and ownership to information changes rapidly.
Connecting niche producers and niche markets much more precisely and efficiently might and would transcend our dependencies on time – just as the industrial revolution transcended our dependencies on land to our present dependencies on time. The last turned out to be a much more flexible arrangement for western societies. The workforce was no longer tied to the land, but could earn their livelihoods manning the machines. No longer could one harvest and produce only in one season of the year, production could be kept up, as long as there were hours in the day, energy provided by steam engines and electricity and a sufficiently large workforce to man the machines. Welcome to the world of economic growth as we know it.
Now, what we can do, and what we have the technology to do, is loosen our dependencies on time. We already do it, we already have it. We can work everywhere, thanks to wireless networks, we can meet and arrange to meet each other up until the last minute, thanks to mobile phones. We can keep ourselves informed and filter our incoming information streams, thanks to RSS and services such as Twitter or Google Reader, and countless other web services. We can construct our own information architectures, in our own webspaces, using free software such as WordPress and MediaWiki. We can sell our own homegrown products with everything from eBay to osCommerce. We can buy home-delivered groceries over the net, which meets our needs precisely. We can produce and sell our own soap and beer thanks to recipes found online and our own experiments. We can write, print and sell books-on-demand, more cheaply than ever, without the wasteful mass printing of big publishing houses. We don't have to rely on schedules, workhours, heftily regulated industrial workplaces – and we don't have to rely on the editorial filters of others.
But, and there's a big but, many of our laws, courts and workplaces still not recognize what's going on. Our lives and businesses are regulated nationally, even though we operate nascently internationally via the internet. We predominantly receive our salaries dependent on how much time we spend doing something, or based on how high up in the command-chain we are – not so much dependent on how useful it is what we do. We pay taxes to local institutions and obey local laws, despite the fact that the problems we have to deal with are increasingly of a global nature, from terrorism (which is, in this context, a very small problem) to the threat of environmental disasters. We may add information to radically open and globally reaching information systems such as wikis, yet our educational systems (broadly speaking) are hopelessly medieval in their narrow focus on classes, professors and courses.
The final blow will come the day, if/when the 'old' economic system breaks. I'm not sure the present crisis is just it – I expect a transition to a 'new' economic system to take longer and be more painful. There may not even be a 'visible break'. If you can't see or feel it now, I wonder if you will at a later stage. Many of these changes are not clearly documented or reported by our mass media-based news system, and our networks-based information filtering still needs a lot of work – it is still polluted by much noise.
The question is how deep these changes will go politically? Can our political institutions handle radically big transitions of our economies and property-based systems? One area is patents and copyright, for example. Can our political parties and institutions reform this? Is it possible? A lot of things leaves the impression it isn't possible, yet some of us has to insist that it is. If it isn't possible, p2p will be driven underground, reserved as an outlet for the few privileged, who knows how to circumvent the official pathways. If it is, what new institutions may emerge from the battlefield, what new types of infrastructure will we need, and what should they be like?
Lawrence Lessig once referred to himself as the 'Gorbachev of this movement', in the sense that he didn't want to tear down the copyright system, but to reform it. But here we are, and even Lessig's own talks are taken down from YouTube because of alleged copyright infringement.
It seems to me that this is much more the world of the Jeltsins. Of a web that consolidates itself into major players, which are not as intent to empower their users, as they are intent to profit themselves and keep the industrial system in place.
The reason I write this post is I still see opportunities to revive Kaplak, not as a company, but as an idea and set of ideas which can still be worked with and developed upon to build better tools, which can help take a crack at our original problem : connecting products and markets on the slim end of the long tail. But it is even clearer to me today that this battle is also political. It cannot be fought without taking a political stand. It can't be reduced to just business or just a company. It has to have a wider scope. I will keep this blog a space to explore this further – the construction of concrete tools and information architectures as well as the politics.

Background: Previous systematic reviews have indicated limited evidence and poor quality evaluations of clinical librarian (CL) services. Rigorous evaluations should demonstrate the value of CL services, but guidance is needed before this can be achieved. Objectives: To undertake a systematic review which examines models of CL services, quality, methods and perspectives of clinical librarian service evaluations. Methods: Systematic review methodology and synthesis of evidence, undertaken collaboratively by a group of 8 librarians to develop research and critical appraisal skills. Results: There are four clear models of clinical library service provision. Clinical librarians are effective in saving health professionals time, providing relevant, useful information and high quality services. Clinical librarians have a positive effect on clinical decision making by contributing to better informed decisions, diagnosis and choice of drug or therapy. The quality of CL studies is improving, but more work is needed on reducing bias and providing evidence of specific impacts on patient care. The Critical Incident Technique as part of a mixed method approach appears to offer a useful approach to demonstrating impact. Conclusions: This systematic review provides practical guidance regarding the evaluation of CL services. It also provides updated evidence regarding the effectiveness and impact of CL services. The approach used was successful in developing research and critical appraisal skills in a group of librarians.

Our on-line database brings together data and indicators constructed to support the analyses presented in various editions of the OECD Employment Outlook as well as selected short-term indicators.
This report examines the performance of public employment services and the effectiveness of activation strategies in Japan.
This report examines the performance of public employment services and the effectiveness of activation strategies in Switzerland. It covers the role of the key actors in labour market policy...
What individuals know and can do has a profound impact on the competitiveness, productivity and social cohesion of their countries. But most importantly it has an impact on the quality of their lives; on their achievements and self-fulfilment, according to OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría.
One indicator of retirement behaviour that abstracts from more general factorsaffecting the level of participation rates is the average effective age at which older workers withdraw from the labour force
Japan has high employment rates for men and older workers and relatively low unemployment. Benefit entitlements for the unemployed are limited, but other labour market policies - including an emphasis on placement services - help to prevent unemployment ...
Promoting a smooth transition from school to work, and ensuring that youth are given the opportunities to move on in their careers and lives, have long been issues of fundamental importance for our economies and societies. Today, they are even more pressing challenges as the global economy emerges from the worst crisis of the past 50 years. Indeed, young people have borne much of the brunt of the recent jobs crisis. The youth unemployment rate is approaching 20% in the OECD area, with nearly 4 million more youth among the unemployed than at the end of 2007.
The initial experience in the labour market has a profound influence on later working life. Getting off to a good start facilitates youth integration into the world of work and lays the foundation for a good career, while it can be difficult to catch up after an initial failure. In particular, the jobs crisis is likely to leave long-lasting "scarring" effects on some of the current generation of school-leavers, particularly if they face multiple disadvantages, such as having low skills and also coming from a disadvantaged background.
Tackling the youth jobs crisis requires a strong commitment from all: the youth themselves, the government through well-targeted and effective policy measures, social partners though their participation in the dialogue, and other key actors – such as teachers, practitioners and parents – who can really make a difference to investing in youth.
This report makes an important contribution to a new agenda of youth-friendly employment policies and practices. It analyses the situation of youth employment and unemployment in the context of the jobs crisis and identifies successful policy measures in OECD countries. But it also discusses structural reforms in education and in the labour market that can facilitate the transition from school to work. The report draws on both recent data and the main lessons that emerged from the 16 country reviews conducted as part of the OECD Jobs for Youth/Des emplois pour les jeunes programme.
The OECD Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Directorate has launched in September 2008 a series of seminars open to both external and internal speakers. It is intended to be an informal forum for discussion of policy-oriented empirical research work among policy-makers, academics and OECD staff.
Mental illness is a growing problem in society and is increasingly affecting productivity and well-being in the workplace. This project challenges some of the myths around mental health.

KTRH Continues To Try To Out-Fox Fox
Remember the days when KTRH was worth listening to?
It remains the only AM news station in town, and the largest. But layoffs have damaged the product, although not as much as the decision by Michael Berry to throw objectivity out the window in order to appeal to the Dittoheads and Hannity fans who listen to the talk shows.
The 9-11 am hours have gone from news to more right-wing blather, which at least is idenitifed as opinion. But look at what they're calling "news" today on their website:
The lede on their top item: "President Barack Obma faces a barrage of questions on his plan to reinvigorate the economy with a massive stimulus bill andadditional billions in bailout money for financial institutions."
The headline on the second item: "Republicans Winning With Bailout Bashing."
The "Question of the Day: "Do you think the economic stimulus package being debated in Congress will actually harm the economy, rather than help it?" ("Yes" gets 93 percent of the votes so far.)
Someday we hope the Question of the Day will be "Is it actually possible to respect KTRH anymore?" But we're not holding our breath.

Book Discussion: The Sound of Things Falling: A Novel, by Juan Gabriel Vasquez
Mon, Apr 7 2014 - 5:30pm
The Sound of Things Falling gives us a vision of the drug culture unraveling a generation of Colombians, one life at a time. Soon after he gets to know Ricardo Laverde, disaffected young Colombian lawyer Antonio Yammara realizes that his new friend has a secret, or rather, several secrets. Shortly after their meeting, Ricardo is shot and killed on a street corner in Bogotá and Yammara is caught in the crossfire. Yammara's subsequent investigation harkens back to the early 1960s, a time of marijuana smuggling, years before the cocaine trade trapped a whole generation of Colombians in a living nightmare of fear and random death.

Overpaid Athletes Who Do Jack
Shawn Kemp
Salary: $14,000,000/year (2003-'04)
Once prophesied to be the next Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp averaged 19.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and shot 56% in 1996 in leading the Sonics to the NBA Finals. He was rewarded with a 7-year, $107 million contract through 2004. And he has done it all since signing that contract... just not on the court.
Kemp ran into problems with alcohol and was suspended for drug violations. He became the poster child for NBA players with illegitimate children, and was in a chronic state of disgruntlement over his salary with the Sonics, eventually forcing a trade.
On the court, Kemp averaged just 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 42% shooting between 2000 and 2003. In the 2003-2004 season, Kemp enjoyed the league's sixth highest salary at around $14 million — and he didn't even play! This was the result of a buyout, when Portland picked up about $25 million of Kemp's remaining $46.5 in 2002, just to get rid of him.
Derrick Coleman
Salary: $4,000,000/year (2003-04)
Another apparent Karl Malone successor, Coleman put up decent numbers early in his career with New Jersey, averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds in the mid-'90s. But those numbers have dropped to single digits for three of the last four years.
Coleman's combination of poor physical fitness, chronic injuries and a bad attitude make him overpaid at any price. However, he was earning $40 million between 1998 and 2003 with the Hornets and Sixers.
Over 14 seasons, Coleman has only played 70-plus games four times. He's averaged just 47.5 games in the last four seasons. In spite of these numbers, Coleman signed another three-year, $13.5 million contract in 2003.
Grant Hill
Salary: $13,279,250/year (2003-04)
Grant Hill was projected by many to be the next Michael Jordan — or at least the next Scottie Pippen. A triple threat, he averaged 21.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists in his first six years with the Pistons. He signed a 7-year deal worth almost $93 million through the 2004-2005 season.
Beset by injuries after being traded to Orlando, Hill has played a total of 47 games out of 328 over the last four years. But he is still one of the NBA's highest-paid players, sitting at number 21 on the list for the 2003-2004 season, with a $13 million salary.
Millionaires on the ice — or, rather, riding the pine...

After The Rachael Ray Show segment where I talked about my love for #kombucha, I got so many questions from you guys about it!
So, here's more info: Kombucha is a fermented, lightly effervescent tea drink which has a tart taste. It's loaded with probiotics and is antioxidant-rich so it has tons of health benefits.
I like the varieties which embrace the tartness, like ginger or turmeric tonics.
There have been safety issues reported with home-brewed kombucha, so that's something to research closely before you try making your own!

PARIS, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- The European Space Agency (ESA) on Friday announced the design of the first commercially-operated data relay satellite system has been completed and approved.
This fast-tracks the launch of the service to its first customer, the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative of the European Union.
A design review board of senior members from the ESA, Astrium and the German Aerospace Center approved Europe's data relay satellite system (EDRS) design: from the satellites to the support that will be required from the ground.
EDRS will deliver services to the scientific community by providing a telecommunications network that is fast, reliable and seamless, making real-time information from satellites available on demand.
It is being built through a public-private partnership between ESA and Astrium Services, using payloads carried by two satellites in geostationary orbit, hovering 36,000 km above the equator, where their speed matches Earth's rotation.
Data transmitted from satellites in lower orbits to either of these EDRS payloads can then be relayed to the ground.
"EDRS is a fantastic breakthrough for Europe from the innovative laser communication terminal technology to the provision of operational services by 2014 that combines the best from European space companies with the national and European space institutions," said Magali Vaissiere, a director at ESA.
ESA said its partner Astrium Services is ready to begin production.
The first of the two EDRS payloads will be carried on the Eutelsat-EB9B satellite, starting operation in 2014. The second satellite, planned for launch in 2016, will carry the second EDRS payload as well as the Hylas-3 payload from the UK's Avanti Communications.

Just finished going to the link, thanks, very helpful. Pebbling sounds neat too. It is true, that once it's all quilted and washed it's hard to find the mistakes!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just finished going to the link, thanks, very helpful. Pebbling sounds neat too. It is true, that once it's all quilted and washed it's hard to find the mistakes!
I stencil patterns onto the quilt and then stitch them.
thanks for the link I could watch it all day
Thanks everybody!! I have only done SID and need to move up :D:D
Great thread.
Easy ones are loops with stars, swirls, hearts. Curliques like question marks are easy for me and they don't have to be perfect to look good. I'm not good at flowers yet. I'm getting better with following the pattern, but still go off the lines all the time. I like to draw a design and trace over it onto Sukly Solvy. Then I pin that onto the fabric and quilt it. You trim away the bulky part of the extra and the rest washes away. For practice, you could make a sandwich with a nice floral or kids design and practice going around the shapes. It helps build confidence.
Here's a site of quilting stencils that I check out sometimes to give me some ideas.
quiltingcreations.com is another nice site for stencils.
Me, too!! :oops:Originally Posted by littlehud
Try using stencils and Golden Threads tracing paper. Available at your LQS, the paper comes on a roll in 2 widths. Trace your design on one piece of paper, stack up to 10-15 levels of paper, then stitch the design with a 14-16 needle (to make larger holes) without thread. That gives you multiple copies of your design. Pin the copies on your quilt where you want the design, then, using your free motion foot, stitch the design on your quilt. http://www.goldenthreads.com/t-sewin...-quilters.aspx
On my current quilt I used one stencil to do the borders and another full-page stencil for the overall design. Easy and faster than trying to draw on your quilt. Because the paper is slightly heavier than tissue paper it's easy to rip off when you're finished stitching.

Republican Rep. Steve Smith of Mound has lost a primary contest to Cindy Pugh.
Smith, who is the longest serving Republican member of the House, was elected in 1990. Earlier this year, he lost his party's endorsement to Pugh, who has the support of House Speaker Kurt Zellers.
This past legislative session, Smith did not follow his leadership on a number of high profile issues. For instance, he voted against the same-sex marriage amendment in 2011, though the Legislature ultimately passed the amendment and put it on the 2012 ballot.
Zellers also removed Smith as chair of the House Judiciary and Policy Committee in 2011. The speaker said at the time that the move was "due to personal reasons."
The primary contest between Smith and Pugh has attracted attention from an outside group called the Freedom Club, a conservative political organization that spent money on mailers opposing Smith.
Here's a statement from Republican Party of Minnesota Chair Pat Shortridge:
"Today, voters in House District 33B affirmed what the Republican caucuses had decided by endorsing Cindy Pugh. Cindy is a very principled, conservative leader who is ready to go to St. Paul and fight on behalf of our values. Cindy can be trusted to rein in state government spending, streamline the way our government works and fight for our freedoms at every turn. This is the type of leadership Minnesotans want, and today they've decided to send Cindy to St. Paul.
"The Republican Party of Minnesota is proud of the work Cindy has already accomplished, and we will continue to work on her behalf to get her to St. Paul. Minnesota conservatives are ready to get to work for this last push until Election Day 2012."

This is a delight. Almost all Corps of Engineer facilities are great, and that includes Gunter Hill. There is no Wi-Fi or cable TV hookup, but everything else is superb. The staff is very helpful and the sites are beautiful. The setting on the lake is superb. Everything is spotless. The rate is with the Senior Pass.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Despite some reviews that I think were not great, our experience was very good. The setting is very nice with a picturesque lake. The management was super friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean and everything worked. The only very slight negative is that the sites are gravel instead of concrete but I don't think this is much of an issue. We definitely will go back. Highly recommended. Rate is Passport America.

The two main contenders for manager of the season face each other in a match which could go a long way to deciding the fate of an even bigger prize. With only a home match against free-falling Newcastle to come, Liverpool's chances of lifting a first top flight title in 24 years may well rest on Monday's game.
Brendan Rodgers' side must put their heartbreaking defeat to Chelsea behind them in dealing with their first league defeat since losing to the Blues in December. After having a large impact on how the top five looks with wins against Chelsea and Everton, kingmakers Crystal Palace will be in no mood to roll over. Tony Pulis may have ensured that the Eagles will avoid relegation from the Premier League for the first time, but he will not allow his players to slack off.
The Palace defence will have to work especially hard against a Liverpool side who are close to becoming just the second team to score 100 goals in a Premier League season. More than half of those strikes have been supplied by Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, both selected in the PFA's Team of the Year this week. However, after drawing a blank against the best defence in the country, the usually deadly partnership will face the second meanest defence since the start of Pulis' reign. How they respond will have wide-reaching ramifications.
KICK-OFF: Monday, 8pm
Liverpool 3 (Suarez, Sturridge, Gerrard) Crystal Palace 1 (Gayle), Premier League, October 2013
Crystal Palace 2 (Freedman, Reich) Liverpool 1 (Gerrard), League Cup, October 2005
Crystal Palace 1 (Johnson) Liverpool 0, Premier League, April 2005
In the last eight meetings between the sides, Palace have won more games, with four victories to Liverpool's three.
Liverpool have the best away record in the league, taking 34 points from their 18 games away from Anfield.
Since Pulis took over, Palace have taken just two points from 11 games in which they've fallen behind.
Crystal Palace would still stay up if the season had started when Pulis became their manager, with the Eagles picking up 39 points from 24 games.
Liverpool have won only two of their last 31 Premier League games when they have been trailing at half-time.
Crystal Palace to win: 8.0
Liverpool to win: 1.4
Draw: 4.6
TV: Live on Sky Sports 1 at 8pm, highlights on BBC1 at 10.30pm

This product is infused with olive oil and grape seed oil, and that is exactly what it smells like. Personally, I don't want to smell like olive oil and grapes. I received a sample of this cleanser in my box this month. The sample was a single use size, so I only tried it once. Even though I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed my skin, it felt like my face and neck were covered in a film.1

Cant upload form my Computer ?
No, none that I can see. Is there some log file somewhere that I can look at to see if it's recording any errors? SWFUpload is just an out of the box install. I haven't figured out where or if I need to customize any of it yet.
And the swfupload module is in the directory "swfupload"? If you used a ZIP file from the Silverstripe download page, you may have gotten an incorrectly named directory.
Perfect. That was the problem and it took care of some of the issues in some of the other modules as well. Maybe a small thing but it's very important and not clear anywhere in the installation directions that the uploaded folders need to be renamed and what they need to be renamed to. Thanks for the help.
They come in correctly when you use SVN, but for some reason the SS downloads page renames them.

So pro-democracy activists are on the streets in Moldova and used car dealers are raising a fuss in Vladivostok. But Russia's Interior Ministry is ready for unrest: It plans to buy more of these fearsome-looking crowd-control machines. OMG OMG fascism in Russia!!
Well, not exactly. The New York Times visited a decrepit fire engine factory in Siberia and produced this story — complete with ominous headline ("Russians Bet on a Market for Dampening Dissent") and a preposterous nut graf:
The water cannon business has become, in a sense, a barometer of social unrest in Russia, written up in Russian news magazines and joked about dryly on the Echo of Moscow radio station in the capital.
Read on, however, and you'll find that these vehicles of state repression aren't exactly flying off the assembly line. "The Russian Interior Ministry, which oversees the police, has asked the plant to be ready to re-outfit the assembly line to produce many quickly, if needed," the reporter notes. "But no solid orders have come in yet."
I hate to beat up on the Times, but this is enough to make you long for the late, lamented eXile. In fact, we could do a bit of mirror-imaging here: a quick scan of Google News in Russian shows lots of stories about water cannons — being bought by those bad old anti-democratic Estonians.
That doesn't mean the Russian media's coverage of less-than-lethal tools has been fair and balanced. Russia Today TV, the Al Jazeera English of the Kremlin, gleefully reported on the Georgian government's use of the Long Range Acoustic Device acoustic weapon — as well as water cannons — on protesters back in 2007.

Ashland University has had an immersion program abroad for over 20 years. Currently, "AU in Costa Rica" is hosted by The Conversa Language Center (www.conversa.com) for our four to eight week intensive Spanish study. Students who have completed one-year of language study enroll in SPAN 200 (Intermediate Level Intensive Spanish) and those who have had two or more years prior to the program register for SPAN 300 (Advanced Level Intensive Spanish).
The structure of the program is designed to provide high support for students before and during their experience in Costa Rica. Throughout the spring semester, students participate in orientation sessions on campus in Ashland. While in Costa Rica, students attend four to six hours of language study per day in the idyllic mountain setting. For additional cultural experiences, students live with families and participate in weekend excursions. Upon arrival at the school, each student is tested and placed in a class commensurate with his/her abilities. Each Friday students are evaluated and given feedback regarding his/her progress.
Students can attend the basic language program, or can enroll in "Spanish for Special Purposes". Those pursuing professions in health care, business, education, the sciences, social work, and other fields can benefit from special language classes, lectures, and field trips geared to their area of expertise.
An additional opportunity is provided for students completing a Minor in Spanish for PK-8 Education Students. After completing four weeks of intensive language study, students spend two weeks, assisting in a local public school in the mornings and attending special classes on educational topics at Conversa in the afternoons. The goal of the program is to study cultural perspectives and linguistic expressions that will be useful in interacting effectively with young children.
"AU in Costa Rica" enjoys the ideal language-learning environment. Students are totally immersed – there are only four students in a class and each student lives with his/her own family. In class, they have the formal instruction of the language, then the world becomes their classroom as they head down the hill and out into the town of Santa Ana to practice. Students repeatedly say that this experience is the highlight of their college careers – and that they learn more about language and culture than they possibly could have back home. If we truly want students to be able to function in the world today, we need to combine language and study abroad to allow students the opportunity cross both linguistic and cultural boundaries. One without the other would fall short of being globally competent.
Quotes from "AU in Costa Rica" students (2012):
"The greatest part about Costa Rica is immersing yourself into a culture that is completely different than your own and creating memories that will stick with you for the rest of your life." Christian Wilson – Major: History & Political Science
"The best experience while in Costa Rica was being able to feel like I was a part of a family. Anyone who speaks Spanish should consider the AU in Costa Rica program, to not only become a more fluent speaker, but to enjoy a once in a life time experience." Brandon Mesnard – Major: Economics/Finance
"There is no comparison of learning Spanish in a Spanish speaking setting where you constantly focus on the language and learning Spanish in the classroom. Truly it is the only way to learn a language!" Hali Brook- Major: Religion and Criminal Justice
"I had such a fun time, it was my first time leaving the country, and just because of AU in CR, I want to travel the world now! I cannot thank the person who recommended this to me enough." Hueston Holder - Major: Broadcast Communication
" I highly recommend AU in Costa Rica because of the direct immersion process and how it affects one's ability to learn a foreign language. Once you let yourself go and become fully immersed, everything else follows." Aaron Brunson - Major: Broadcast Communication

wikiHow to Make Music Videos on Animal Jam
Have you ever wondered how to make music videos on Animal Jam like the famous YouTubers? It takes a few easy steps, including gathering friends and drawing.
1Log into Animal Jam and gather some friends. Those friends will be in the music video.
- If friends are offline, go into a crowded place and shout "Be In A Music Video, My Den!" People should start coming in.
2Tell people what music you're typing (also known as singing). Record a video of them singing and dancing to the song with the correct lyrics.
3Drag the captured pictures or recordings into your editing software (try using Movie Maker or Sony Vegas Pro) and edit it as you please. This is basically what you will keep doing until you reach the end of the lyrics (when the song's over).
4Click the "Save" button on your editing software. Upload the video onto YouTube.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- Make the video loud so others can hear it!
- Use the best editing software to edit videos. That gives you more positive comments than negative ones.
- Wear good clothing like rare items so you stand out and look like a genuine jammer!
- Use HyperCam to record your video. It records movement and doesn't show the cursor.
- Add special effects, this will make the music video more entertaining.
- Don't choose a song that nobody knows about. That will give you less views.

Much of my working day is spent helping people manage their money wisely so that they can build their assets, save money to send their children to college and have enough put away to enjoy their retirement.
But it doesn't mean that I don't get tempted to buy a luxury item that I don't need – and one that will throw a wrench into my financial plans.
I drive a 2007 model car that is paid off and runs well. I know the full maintenance schedule, from oil and transmission fluid changes to brake pads. Because it's paid off, I occasionally buy some special items to improve its look. For example, I recently bought new tires and a new radio. The car gets me where I need to go, and the $450 I save each month in car payments goes into my retirement account, my emergency savings fund, and a 529 college savings fund for my daughter.
Still, I've been thinking lately about purchasing a new car. The car of my dreams -- or maybe it's just a fantasy –- is a BMW. I often imagine myself driving a luxury car and enjoying all of the features not offered in a standard car. But when I weigh the benefits of owning a new car -– not to mention a luxury car -- against my financial goals, it just doesn't make much sense.
RELATED: Watch Out For 'Spending Creep'
Most of us know a friend or relative that owns or bought a luxury car at one point. We remember how happy they looked in their new car. It certainly made them appear to be wealthy and maybe gave them an aura of superiority. But, as usual, that isn't the full story.
Years ago, my mother bought a Cadillac Escalade, which she believed was the car of her dreams. For about six months, she was the talk of the neighborhood and she enjoyed the look of the car and all of its features.
But the benefits soon began to fade as she faced up to the financial impact of her decision. She started to complain the amount of the payments, and as well as the cost of the insurance and the maintenance. She realized that the amount of money she paid each month for her car could have easily covered several other essential expenses. Instead, her life became more costly and more complicated. Buying a luxury car may have fulfilled a fantasy, but it was short lived. And it turned out to be a setback to her financial goals.
RELATED: When Making Financial Decisions, Don't Forget To Consider Opportunity Cost
BMWs and other luxury cars are the right purchase for some people. But if you are considering such a purchase, make certain that it fits into a long-term financial plan. Whenever I have any fantasies about the joys of owning a luxury car, I consider the impact on my finances and remember the problems it caused for my mother.
The cost of owning and maintaining such a car simply doesn't work. For me, the luxury car will always be a dream – far down the list of paying off my home, my child's college education and having enough money to retire on my own terms.

Derrick Buisch
"The work of Derrick Buisch directly references many of the punk doctrines he first discovered as a youth in the 1980s. For almost 25 years, Buisch has participated in the creation of "zines"— self-published and limited run works of imagery and text reproduced quickly and inexpensively via photocopier — which continue to influence his current studio practice. Whether looking at Buisch's hand-painted Monsters or his silkscreened Studio Notations, each image is a continuation of an ongoing dialogue with fabrication techniques used within both fine art and punk culture. The influence of music can also be seen in aspects of his work. For instance, many of Buisch's paintings feature colors and compositions that mirror those found on LPs, band stickers, or liner notes.
Nonetheless, Buisch's paintings and drawings should not be defined strictly within the periphery of homage to punk music or culture. Instead, they should be seen as artifacts that define a specific place and time within contemporary society. Pedestrian objects such as cranes, maps, and crowns populate his compositions and form the basis of a visual language that addresses an overly stylized and commercial landscape.
While many of Buisch's artworks appear effortless, they are the result of a process involving meticulous recreation of sketches by means of projecting and tracing. In this way, Buisch's artworks mirror the way that punk music masqueraded as simplistic. Like punk, a façade of simplicity allows Buisch's artwork to act as inclusive, as well as subversive." ~Marc Mitchell
A painting professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 1997, Buisch has exhibited in many national and regional museum exhibitions including the James Watrous Gallery, the 2014 Wisconsin Triennial, and University Gallery of the Center for Art & Theatre at Southern Georgia University.

Match Preview
Following another good performance against the Sharks on Wednesday, the Lions will be full of confidence going into the penultimate game ahead of the first test in Durban next weekend.
Stand in captain Phil Vickery will be hoping to secure another victory for what is looking increasingly like the mid week line up his side is made up of.
Out go the test certainties such as Byrne, O'Driscoll, Roberts and tour skipper O'Connell and in come Ireland full back Rob Kearney, youngster Keith Earls, Riki Flutey for his first start of the tour and Scotland lock Nathan Hines.
Western Province line up in a familiar fashion although also shorn of their star Springboks Schalk Burger and Jean De Villiers, however they can still boast the likes of former Springbok Luke Watson to lead their side out against the Lions.
Western Province are a decent side that under their Super 14 guise the Stomers, finished a respectable 10th place.
What will become a factor in this match that hasn't really come into play yet in this tour is the predicted weather. The conditions are predicted to be wet so this will have a big effect on the teams handling, and with the Lions having handling issues for the opening part of the tour this is likely to be seriously tested by Western Province.
Expect Kearney to be peppered with high balls to test his resolve and handling, and Stephen Jones' distribution will need to be spot on to lessen the risk of any handling errors outside him.
Still even with the weather making life difficult, the Lions should still be too string for Western Province and captain Vickery will be looking to ensure his side do not slow momentum up leading into the vital test match preparation.
Lions-Tour.com Prediction
Putting the Sharks to the sword was a great and unexpectedly good result for the Lions, but having a weaker team on the field against a similarly good Western Province side will see a much more competitive game. The Lions should pull through by a couple of scores.
Western Province 18 British & Irish Lions 28
Betting – Is 15 points too much for The Lions?
After Wednesdays convincing win against the Sharks the Lions focus now shifts towards tomorrow's game against Western Province. There are still a number of test places up for grabs, particularly up front. Expect big performances from Donncha O'Callaghan and Nathan Hines. Both will be looking to get an edge on Alun-Wyn Jones, the current favorite to partner Paul O'Connell in the engine room. In the words of Jones "four of us are fighting for one jersey." With Stephen Ferris untimely injury the backrow combination for the tests is now wide open. Jamie Heaslip and David Wallace are front runners but what about Tom Croft, Joe Worsley, Andy Powell and recent arrival Ryan Jones?
The home side is similar to the Stormers team that played much of the Super 14 albeit without their Springbok contingent. Controversial back rower Luke Watson will be looking to wreak havoc and Martyn Williams will need to be at his best to neutralize Watson and the hard running Duane Vermeulen. Paddy Power Prediction: Another Lions win although the fifteen point handicap may be beyond their reach.

21st Century Time Management for Busy Managers HTML version
Free Time Management Course – 21st Century Time Management
1.13. ......................................................Le
sson 5 - Trust your Instincts
Trusting your instincts and trusting yourself is probably where the 21st
Century Time Management approach is unique and most different from
other time management systems. This is where you bring your He♥rt to
your time management system.
Trusting your instincts means you don't worry about how all the formal
parts of the system come together. I could go into fine detail about how to
use the system. But what I have noticed is that most people have a very
good intuitive sense of priorities, sometimes much better than your
conscious thinking.
There are usually only 1 or 2 really important tasks each day. I believe
that once you make sure you are spending consistent time on the
important areas of your life, you will intuitively spend time on the tasks that
are best for you.
The way this works is that you use your weekly plan to keep your focus on
the most important things in your life. Your weekly plan also gives you
some structure, in that you know at any point in time, what is the most
important task for you to be doing right now. Then the other tasks get
done in the remaining time. You will never get all of your tasks done. You
will never "catch-up" with everything. BUT, what will happen is that things
that are right for you do to, will get done.
When I say right for you, I mean that the task benefits you in some way.
Often this will be about how you feel or about building relationships with
others or about having fun – right for you doesn't have to mean doing
something that you don't like or that is hard or that you should do. In fact, I
suggest that tasks you find hard or think you should do have a deeper
message for you. It's possible the task is not really important to you right
now, OR there is a conflict with your values, beliefs and goals. (Coaching
can be a great help in these situations – see
https://www.timecreationcoaching.com for more information)
People get caught up believing that have to do the tasks on their list.
You don't have to do anything in this part of the 21st Century Time
Management process. Just use your weekly plan and in between the big
stuff, do whatever feels right. The right task often comes to mind in the

AA-96.21 AUSCERT Advisory
cron/crontab Buffer Overrun Vulnerabilities
18 December 1996
Last Revised: 29 January 1998
Added vendor information.
A complete revision history is at the end of this file.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUSCERT has received information that vulnerabilities exist in the
cron(8) and crontab(1) programs found in the Unix cron package.
These vulnerabilities may allow local users to gain root privileges.
Exploit information involving these vulnerabilities has been made publicly
The vulnerabilities in the cron package affect numerous vendors and
platforms. AUSCERT recommends that sites take the steps outlined in
section 3 as soon as possible.
This advisory will be updated as more information becomes available.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Description
AUSCERT has received information that vulnerabilities exist in the
cron(8) and crontab(1) programs. cron(8) executes commands at
specified times according to instructions placed in user crontab files.
crontab(1) is used to install, remove or list the tables used to
drive the cron daemon. Both of these programs are installed by
Two unrelated vulnerabilities are known to exist in some versions
of the cron package.
1. Command line buffer overrun
Due to insufficient bounds checking on arguments which are supplied
by users, it is possible to overwrite the internal stack space of
the crontab program while it is executing. By supplying a
carefully designed argument to the crontab program, intruders may
be able to force crontab to execute arbitrary commands. As crontab
is setuid root, this may allow intruders to run arbitrary commands
with root privileges.
2. Reading environment buffer overrun
A similar vulnerability exists in the library routine used to
load environment variables. This vulnerable routine is used
in both cron and crontab. Due to insufficient bounds checking,
it may be possible for intruders to manipulate cron or crontab
into executing arbitrary commands with root privileges.
Both of these vulnerabilities are known to be present in the Vixie
cron package, up to and including version 3.0. This package is
installed by default under some versions of Unix. The Vixie cron
package may have also been installed as third party software by sites.
The following command may be used to indicate whether a version
of cron based on Vixie cron is installed:
# strings /usr/bin/crontab | grep -i vix
Sites which have versions based on Vixie cron should consider themselves
vulnerable unless they have specific information from their vendors
which suggests otherwise.
Other versions of the cron package supplied by vendors may also be
vulnerable (Section 3).
Exploit information involving these vulnerabilities has been made
publicly available.
2. Impact
Local users may gain root privileges.
3. Workarounds/Solution
AUSCERT recommends that sites limit the possible exploitation of these
vulnerabilities by immediately removing the setuid permissions on
crontab(1) and checking the contents of crontab files as stated
in Section 3.1.
Vendor information about the vulnerabilities described in this
advisory is provided in Section 3.2.
If the cron functionality is required for non privileged users, and
no vendor information or patches are available (Section 3.2), AUSCERT
recommends that access be restricted to a trusted set of users as
given in Section 3.3.
3.1 Remove setuid and non-root execute permissions and check crontab files
AUSCERT recommends that the setuid permissions be removed from the
crontab program immediately. As the crontab program will no longer
work for non-root users, it is recommended that the execute permissions
also be removed.
For example:
# ls -l /usr/bin/crontab
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 20480 Jun 10 1996 /usr/bin/crontab
# chmod 500 /usr/bin/crontab
# ls -l /usr/bin/crontab
-r-x------ 1 root bin 20480 Jun 10 1996 /usr/bin/crontab
Note that this will remove the ability for any non-root user to run the
crontab program.
This will prevent further exploitation of the crontab vulnerabilities
described in this advisory.
In addition, to ensure that cron can not be exploited through existing
user crontab files, sites should check the contents of all existing
crontab files for unusual contents. Unusual contents may include very
long lines or lines containing non-ASCII characters. If strange
environment settings or other unusual entries are found, it may
indicate a possible attack. User crontab files are usually located
in either /var/cron/tabs or /var/spool/cron.
3.2 Vendor information
Below is a list of vendors which are known to be affected by the
crontab vulnerabilities described in this advisory:
FreeBSD, Inc
NetBSD Project
RedHat Linux
The following vendors have informed AUSCERT that they are not
vulnerable to these vulnerabilities:
Digital Equipment Corporation
Hewlett Packard
IBM Corporation
Sun Microsystems
The OpenBSD project
If your vendor's name is not listed above, please contact your vendor
For more specific vendor information, see Appendix A.
3.3 Restrict crontab access
If the cron functionality is required by a small set of trusted users,
sites may wish to restrict the execution of crontab to that group
of users. For example, if the Unix group "trusted" exists and contains
only those users allowed to use the cron functionality, the following
commands will restrict its use:
# chgrp trusted /usr/bin/crontab
# chmod 4750 /usr/bin/crontab
# ls -l /usr/bin/crontab
-rwsr-x--- 1 root trusted 20480 Jun 10 1996 /usr/bin/crontab
Access to any account in the "trusted" group will allow vulnerable
versions of the cron package to be exploited.
It should be noted that the use of cron allow/deny files (see
crontab(1)) will not prevent the exploitation of the command line
buffer overrun vulnerability.
Appendix A Vendor information
This appendix will be updated as we receive additional information. If
your vendor is not listed below, or you require further vendor information,
please contact the vendor directly.
Digital Equipment Corporation
This reported problem is not present for Digital's ULTRIX or
