Just wondering, if your maid falsely accuses you of abuse, even going to the extend of injuring herself physically to fake the evidence, what are your chances of being acquitted if she sticks to her story till the end?
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/ ... 10/1/.html
SINGAPORE: An Indonesian maid was jailed four months on Thursday for making a false police report, claiming that her employer's mother had abused her.
23-year-old Susanti had even splashed hot water on herself to frame 62-year-old Tjong Inggrid Tirtasari.
Susanti, who had accused Madam Tjong of splashing hot water on her, even had blisters down her back to prove her point.
The maid later admitted that the injuries were self-inflicted.
She had splashed hot water on herself as she did not want to continue working for her employer.
Police were notified of the alleged case of maid abuse at around 3pm on July 1 after an employee at the Indonesian Embassy called the authorities about the incident.
Assistant Superintendent Gabriel Chen interviewed Susanti at the Tanglin Police Division Headquarters at 8.25pm.
The maid claimed that Madam Tjong had splashed hot water on her between 10am and noon that day.
Susanti left her employer's Bishan flat and made her way down to the Indonesian Embassy soon after the alleged abuse.
Because of this false accusation, officers arrested Madam Tjong that evening and she was placed in police custody for nearly three hours.
The elderly woman was released on a bail of S$5,000 dollars at around 2am on July 2.
Susanti only admitted to Assistant Superintendent Chen on August 4 that she had fabricated the whole story as she had wanted to be sent home to Indonesia without having to settle an outstanding loan with her agency.
For giving false information to the police, Susanti could have been jailed up to a year, fined up to S$5,000 or both.

The serpins are a widely distributed group of serine proteinase inhibitors found in plants, birds, mammals and viruses. Despite the great evolutionary divergence of these organisms, their serpins are highly conserved, both in sequence and structurally. Amino acid sequences were aligned by a combination of automatic algorithms and by consideration of conserved structural elements in those serpins for which crystal structures exist. The program HOMED was used which allowed the alignment of amino acids to be simultaneously converted into the equivalently aligned nucleotide sequences. The aligned amino acids were used as the basis for superposition of the four known three-dimensional structures for which coordinates are available and compared with an optimal three-dimensional superposition in order to estimate the reliability of the sequence alignment. Phylogenetic relationships implied by these nucleotide sequence alignments were determined by the method of maximum parsimony. The proposed gene tree suggested that as much diversity existed between the plant serpin and mammalian serpins as was present among mammalian serpins and provided further evidence that the architecture of serpin molecules is highly constrained.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Buoyant data bolsters euro rally, shares creep higher
* European stocks climb after upbeat data, Wall Street seen up
* Brazil narrows reach of IOF tax on foreign loans * Chile economy grows at fastest annual pace of 2012 * Brazil real gains 0.95 percent, Mexico peso 0.14 percent stronger By Walter Brandimarte RIO DE JANEIRO/MEXICO CITY Dec 5 Brazil's real gained for a third consecutive session on Wednesday after the government unveiled yet another measure that facilitates dollar inflows to the country, while the Chilean peso rose on data showing domestic economic activity sped up in October. The real rose 0.95 percent to close at 2.0955 per U.S. dollar as the government announced it was reducing the reach of a financial transaction tax known as IOF on foreign borrowing by domestic companies. That was the latest in a series of measures announced by the Brazilian government this week to boost the domestic supply of dollars, which are usually more scarce at the end of the year. On Tuesday, the central bank narrowed the scope of the IOF to export prepayments, and on Monday it sold dollars directly to investors. "The government is really loosening the tie in the past couple of days," said Reginaldo Galhardo, a manager at the currency desk of Treviso brokerage in Sao Paulo. "It is backing off because it sees dollars are in short supply." While traders discussed whether the government was defending a new floor for the real around 2.1 per dollar, most economists agree policymakers mostly aim to smooth out end-year currency fluctuations. Barclays analysts said seasonal factors or negative sentiment toward the country have been pressuring the real to weaker levels at a fast pace. "In our view, policymakers will continue to intervene in the market in order to prevent fast bouts of depreciation of the real, but given the weak growth background, we believe there is little, if any, intent to pull the currency below 2.10," analysts Guilherme Loureiro and Marcelo Salomon wrote in a research note. In a sign that investors are betting on a weaker real in the short term, banks adopted a net long dollar position worth $998 million at the end of November, according to central bank data. Expectations that Brazilian policymakers would favor a weaker currency to boost exports grew after data showed the country's economy grew at half the rate economists expected in the third quarter. CHILEAN ECONOMY SOARS In Chile, on the other hand, faster-than-expected economic activity helped drive the peso 0.31 percent higher to 479.20 per dollar. The peso had already gained 8.4 percent so far this year, leading gains among Latin American currencies. Growth in Chile's economic activity accelerated to 6.7 percent in October from the same month a year ago, above analysts' expectations for a 6.4 percent pace and making the world's top copper producer more attractive to foreign investors. Also supporting the Chilean peso were dollar inflows from mining companies, traders said. Other Latin American currencies also gained on Wednesday, with the Mexican peso rising 0.14 percent to 12.9325 per greenback, as appetite for emerging market assets was supported by expectations of strong Chinese growth. Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping said overnight that the country would ensure stable economic growth and stabilize exports. Latin American FX prices at 0023 GMT: Currencies daily % year-to- change ate % Latest change Brazil real 2.0 955 0.95 -10. 83 Mexico peso 12.9 325 0.1 4 8. 02 Argentina peso* 6.4200 0.31 -26.32 Chile peso 479.2000 0.31 8.37 Colombia peso 1,811.8000 0.06 6.99 Peru sol 2.5790 0.04 4.58 * Argentine peso's rate between brokerages

WASHINGTON, May 23 The White House on Tuesday will ask Republicans who control the U.S. Congress - and federal purse strings - to slash spending on healthcare and food assistance programs for the poor as they push ahead on plans to cut taxes and trim the deficit.
MEXICO CITY, May 23 The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday said it reaffirmed Mexico's access to a flexible credit line worth about $86 billion dollars that the country could use to stabilize its currency in cases of extreme volatility.

text: "Those who seek Understanding and the gifts she bestows we call the Sons of Heaven. Those who pass all understanding shall be burned upon the Lathe of Heaven." Hello everyone. I'm new here at Protagonize, so this will probably change over time. I am a writer, which is a very good prerequisit to have upon joining a site that deals with writing. I love to write interactive erotic fiction, and I am a member of Chyoo. I don't limit myself to certain categories. Mostly I write when I feel inspired by something I've read. I love collaborating with others, which is why I love interactive sites such as this one and, well you know. I am a bit aloof at times, and I love to inject humor into things from time to time. After all, humor is key to keeping ones sanity in a world that has suddenly seemed to go madder than a nurse in a room full of broken thermometers. Never take things too seriously. Besides writing, I also love graphic design, anime, manga, yuri, and yaoi. I design skins and objects for The Sims 1 game, and I am currently signed up as a developer at IMVU. I also write poetry. Hopefully much better poetry than Vogons write. Well I guess that's about it for now. Thank you all.

Pure Stevia with 90% Steviosides 100 Grams (Discontinued)
See all reviews
Don't like Stevia? Try Sucralose instead!
Pure Stevia Extract Powder
We love sweet things, but we don't love the negative effects that taking in lots of sugar can do to our bodies.
One method of weight reduction is through the replacement of high calorie, high carbohydrate additives like sugar, with natural, low carbohydrate sweeteners.
Many sugar alternatives are poorly tolerated or simply do not taste very good, but Stevia changes all of that. It redefines what a sugar alternative can be. With absolutely no calories and a great taste, Stevia might be your new way to sweeten up the morning coffee.
What is Stevia Extract?
Stevia leaf extract is taken from the plant Stevia rebaudiana which is also commonly known as sweet leaf. While there are many sweet compounds in the plant extract, rebaudioside A and stevioside are the major components.[1]
Diets high in sucrose (table sugar, which is a combination of glucose and fructose) can cause weight gain. Over consumption of fructose adds add belly fat and decrease glucose sensitivity.[2]
The average American eats an estimated 142 pounds of sugar a year. By replacing all of that sugar with Stevia, individuals can reduce caloric intake and promote health.[2]
Stevia Benefits
Stevia is a naturally sweet, zero calorie extract which can act as a sweetener in cooking and in beverages.[2]
Stevia products also help reduce overall caloric intake by tricking the body into thinking it is getting calories. When people have low-calorie foods sweetened with Stevia, they tend to eat less later.[2]
How Much Stevia Sweetener Should You Use?
Stevia is quite a bit sweeter than sugar. Keeping this in mind, many people prefer a tiny pinch in their coffee while they might usually use a teaspoon of table sugar. Two teaspoons of sugar in a recipe might only require 1/4 teaspoon of Stevia. For this reason, it might be a good idea to try a little Stevia at first and add more to taste.

Books in the Hood
By Emily Brady in Books, Featured Friday, May. 8 2009
When LaVerne Harris decided to open a bookstore in the South Bronx two years ago, she knew she it wasn't going to be easy. The area is known for a lot of different things -- urban blight, crime, poverty -- and a healthy book culture wasn't one of them.
But Harris, a 61-year-old primary school teacher who grew up on Simpson Street, was walking with some friends when she wondered aloud what it would take to put a bookstore in among the liquor stores, Laundromats, and take-out places.
Hip-Hop Lit Is Hot
February 11, 2008 by Kara Gebhart Uhl
Once limited to street-corner sales, hip-hop lit now can be found in major bookstores—and mainstream publishers are taking note.

Yolanda Degraff, a part-time employee, arranged books in the urban fiction area of the public library in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Gossip Girls and Ghetto Girls
Why are so many librarians—advocates of the uncensored right to read anything on all points of view—panic-stricken over teens reading street lit? As Amy Patee wrote in the July 2008 issue of School Library Journal, "There's no getting around it: urban fiction forces many of us out of our comfort zones...

You don't have to sacrifice space to add a time and energy saving dishwasher to a smaller kitchen. Whether you choose a snugly built-in model or a sleekly-designed freestanding type, slimline dishwashers can fit into a space of just 45cm. But cleaning up to 10 place settings with every load, it makes very good use of a smaller space.
* Bosch is the number 1 brand worldwide for dishwashers. Source: Euromonitor, volume sales, 2016.
Works hard behind the scenes. 45cm wide, slimline built-in dishwashers hold up to 10 place settings and can be placed neatly into the average cupboard space to give a streamlined look to smaller kitchens.
Too pretty to hide away. Freestanding slimline dishwashers provide great flexibility for smaller kitchens. Place them freely wherever you like and clean up to 10 place settings.
See the range
Think dishwashers use a lot of energy, water and cost a lot to run? Karl, the Bosch Engineer, will get you thinking again.
All you need is your postcode to find your nearest stockist. They will be happy to discuss our full range of dishwashers and their features with you, and help you find the Bosch dishwasher that best suits your needs.

10. Get a track recordHot women are competitive, way more than so-called "regular" women. When an extremely attractive woman discovers that you have things going on with other women, it increases her interest in a big way. In fact, the No. 1 thing that men who are successful with hot women have in common is a busy dating life. Hot women find that kind of challenge irresistible, so first and foremost do what it takes to start getting lots of dates with great, "regular" women.

Just a day after saying goodbye to the club he helped build into an MLS dynasty, Kevin Payne will be introduced by the new club he will try to steer out of mediocrity.
Toronto FC will introduce Payne as the team's new president at a 1:30pm press conference today. The move, reported by SBI on Tuesday, pairs one of the league's worst franchises with arguably the most accomplished team official in MLS history.
Now that Payne is set to take over, the former D.C. United boss will have several major decisions to make. From whether he keeps Paul Mariner on as head coach, to whether TFC will keep the No. 1 pick in the 2013 MLS Draft or trade it. Payne has plenty of off-field issues to tackle as well, such as structuring of the Toronto front office, repairing of ties between the club and a fan base that has grown lethargic and jaded after six years of failure, and establishing better relationships between the club and the Canadian soccer community.
Toronto FC has been searching far and wide for an executive with the reputation and credentials to really make a mark on a club that has struggled badly since joining MLS in 2006. In Payne, the team brings in a president who has experience building a winner, and rebuilding a winner. D.C. United won four MLS Cup titles under Payne, a stat made more impressive by the fact that those four titles came under three different head coaches (one, Thomas Rongen, who happens to now be TFC's Academy Director.)
Payne will now have the chance to cement his status as the most successful team president in league history if he can turn Toronto FC into a winner. Doing so would help balance the belief that D.C. United's early success was more a product of Bruce Arena's handiwork than Payne's. D.C. United's fourth championship, won with Peter Nowak as head coach in 2004, helped boost Payne's credentials and diminish the theory that Payne couldn't win without Arena either in charge or having built the team (the 1999 MLS Cup championship team in D.C. was made up largely of players Arena brought in).
What do you think of Payne's chances of turning things around? See him being able to turn TFC into a winner? Think he keeps Mariner as head coach or see him hiring someone else?
Share your thoughts below.
Thanks for being out in front on this story, Ives. The Canadian media has been following your lead.
My only quibble is this: you're being a bit generous when you suggest that TFC needs to rise from mediocrity. TFC stinks right now.
The Imperative Voice
I agree re "mediocrity," the Cummins/ Preki years were mediocre, teams knocking on the playoff door but not getting in. TFC is 7 points behind the next-worst team on the table, allowed the most goals, and is also in the bottom few on goals for (though not the worst, which is something to build on). And my general impression when they started ugly and got worse was that if you look at their roster, it's just not very good.
I say that because I think the coaching question is complicated for them. First, the team roster is so bad it's hard to evaluate Mariner or know if a big name coach could accomplish much at this point. You basically have to speculate, if this was a decent team, would this coach help? Second, IMO part of TFC's problem was when they got close instead of building around that team they'd fire the coach for missing the playoffs. There's little coaching stability. So I think the focus needs to shift to team-building and whatever coach they have needs to be left alone for a while. I think bringing in a MLS guy like Payne is a good front office decision — they haven't been close to good since Mo left — but the question is, will the coaching be well-considered, or will this continue to be a coaching turnstile with a tear-down roster (reflecting the fact that every coach who comes in wants to remake the team from scratch in his image).
TFC has some quality players (when they're healthy), but other than Koevermans, Hassli, Johnson, Avila and Frings, TFC are a bunch of sub-par dudes. I'm not sure a new coach can do much more with that pool than did Winter and/or Mariner.
looks like someone wants to get rid of that schmuck and sends him to TFC lol!
Just think about all the ridiculousness that has spewed from Kevin Payne over the last few years. It seems like everything he says is simply stupid. Just ask Seattle fans who remember the ridiculous statements he made when DC was going to face Seattle in the Open Cup. He's just a clown. At least he has been able to do some things right (which will be an upgrade for TFC). However, there are few people in MLS that make a bigger public fool out of themselves than Payne.
Please cite one example of how Payne made a "fool" of himself other than during the run up to DC/Seattle Open Cup game (which I don't agree with you about).
I think that you mean that he is "entertaining" not a "clown."
This is why I watch the game, entertainment. When the executives create soap operas it makes things a little fun off the pitch too.
Mariner wasn't given much of a chance but I'm kind of hoping he's let go. I don't want Payne to use the excuse "well, he wasn't my hire" at the end of another losing season.
The Imperative Voice
Except like I was saying above, the team is so bad that about any coach you could have would lose until the roster got built up more. There needs to be about 2-3 windows worth of sustained, thoughtful acquisition of quality while leaving the trash at the curb. And for TFC to be someplace people want to play, there also needs to be a quality coach players like, Toronto needs to be more player magnet and less train wreck.
Personally, I think they need to sign a high quality name coach or cup-winning MLS veteran, in the manner of Arena Sigi Rongen Bradley, I'm not sold Mariner is the one to do it. But whoever they pick needs to be publicly given the keys to the team with long term support.
Mickey Mouse
One eyeball stares directly at us. The question remains, what is the other eyeball looking at???
Your momma?
This is a good move for DCU and TFC. DCU needs a President who's strength is on ticket sales, operations, vendor relations and can step away from player personnel issues. Olsen and Kasper can handle that. The new ownership team with DCU is also hands-on (as is Payne) so there was going to be conflict–someone had to go.
For TFC, they get someone who the fan base will love. He will get the Red Patch Boys. He'll make a much more supporter-friendly experience with the club (and no, not just on game day). The club will be aligned. The chief executive will understand soccer and won't be intimidated by professional soccer coaches/talent evaluators, understand MLS and be extremely well connected, want a coach who's a leader with a plan, and he will live and breath this club, he will BLEED for this club. There will be more emphasis on the youth academy. The world will be a potential talent resource (rather than just focusing on Holland or the UK). I can't predict if Mariner and Payne are a match. But Payne will be an executive who knows MLS, won't need much time to adjust or have a big learning curve. While there might be better "executives" in MLS, Payne is probably the single best choice for a TFC operation that has been a loser and incompetently run, that has turned a loud and proud fanbase in to a jaded bunch of cynics who have come to distrust their club and see it as just a moneymaker for MLSE. This is a very good fit–no a SUPERB fit–for TFC, where they're at as a club and what they need to move forward.

Migrations are a wonderful feature provided by the Rails framework. They provide an organized mechanism for building the database for an application, and are a distinct improvement over the random assortment of undocumented SQL scripts used by most projects.
The concepts behind migrations are so simple that you'd think that it would be difficult for anything to go awry.
You'd be wrong.
Here are some tips for getting the most effective use out of migrations in Rails.
Down Methods: The down method of each migration should correctly back out the changes created by the up method. There is a tendency for developers to either skip the down method, or to implement the down method and then not test it effectively. Neither reason for an ineffective down method is acceptable.
It is valid for some migrations to be non-reversible, but this should definitely not be the rule. Migrations that perform data conversions are often not reversible. Even if this is the case, a related group of migrations should be reversible whenever possible.
Performance: Migrations are executed in development, test and production environments. To reduce the impact on customers, it is common for production applications to be brought down while database updates are occurring. A poorly performing migration can keep your production applications offline for an unacceptable amount of time. Remember that production databases often have much more data than development and test environments. Make sure that your migrations, particularly those that perform data conversions, run as efficiently as possible.
DSL: Rails provides a nice Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for manipulating database tables in migrations. Use it.
Only use SQL directly when the DSL cannot easily perform the task that is required. Using the DSL also has the added advantage of keeping your migrations database-agnostic, which will be beneficial if a change in database vendor is ever proclaimed by management.
Sets: Sometimes new requirements are received that require a sweeping set of changes affecting multiple tables in a database. Often, the changes have no value individually, but must instead be implemented as a complete set in order to be useful. If the changes are relatively simple, they can all be incorporated into a single migration.
On the other hand, more complex changes should probably be grouped into a set of migrations, with one migration for each table impacted. It's up to teams to develop their own convention for organizing migrations into sets, since there is no generally accepted convention for Rails migrations. One possible solution is to use the second term of a migration name to indicate a set, if applicable. In the example below, "release2" is used to indicate that the migrations are part of a set.
The first term, of course, is either a sequential number or a timestamp, depending on how the development team wants to organize the migrations. Support for timestamps in migration names was added in Rails 2.0.
Migration Sprawl: Sometimes the number of migrations mushrooms more than is needed. Imagine a situation in which numerous database changes are needed, and multiple people are working on the changes. Each person creates multiple migrations, some of them affecting the same tables. If all of the migrations are going to go into production at the same time, it may make sense for some consolidation to be done. For example, if there are six migrations affecting the same table, it may be more effective to have all of those changes done in one migration. The migrations will make more sense to users, and it will be easier for testers to verify that all of the changes have been done properly.

Chapter Six (Part 4)
"Hello?" Nancy snapped her finger at me and I looked at her, distracted.
Giving me a knowing grin, she said, "This is exactly what I meant. You are so into him." Taking a quick sip out of her juice box, she went on to say, "It's a good thing that the camp offers so many activities for two people to do together. You should do one with Jensen. We only have about a week and a half left!"
"We've done loads together!"
"Oh yeah, like what? And the cabin-pranks thing doesn't count."
"Darn it," I muttered.
The guys' and girls' cabins had been at war ever since we'd arrived. The second night of camp, we'd walked into our rooms and found a bunch of insects under our pillows which had caused more than enough panic to break out – especially from Nancy.
The counselors had gotten us together and of course, given a word of warning to the boys. I'd later found out that it was Jensen's idea so to get revenge on the girl's behalf, a girl from each cabin took a harmless snake and slipped it into the boys' cabins through their windows. I'd proudly been the representative of cabin number two. Though a lot of good that did me when Nancy had spilled the beans to Drew, and I was framed for the whole 'incident'.
Since then, every night there was some kind of untold adventure – most of them as a result of my and Jensen's genius brains. I never took it to heart; it was only good fun after all.
"A romantic canoe for two!"
I rolled my eyes and stood up, taking my tray with me. "So much for the 'no-boys-allowed' summer." I heard her laugh as I walked away. I threw the empty juice box into the trash can before setting the tray down with all the others. Turning around, I bumped straight into Jensen, sending his tray toppling to the ground.
"Sorry," I apologized, bending down to help him clean it up.
"It's alright," he said. Inside, I was scolding myself for being such a klutz but I didn't seem to mind anymore when our hands touched as we both reached for his fork.
"Sorry," I repeated, sounding like a total idiot. Jensen grinned.
"There are other words that exist, you know," he teased.
"Yeah." Why couldn't I come up with anything sensible to say around this guy? "So, canoeing."
He arched an eyebrow at me. "What about it?"
"D'you like it?"
"That depends." He said, taking a step towards me so that the next person could set their tray down without knocking right into him. My heart beat a lot faster though as it brought us closer than before. He was right…there.
"On what?" I whispered.
His smile grew. "On who I'm canoeing with."
I gulped. "Okay." Flirt a little you 11-year old dweeb!
His hand reached out and caught a strand of my hair that was out of place. Tucking it behind my ear, he said lowly, "We should do it together sometime."
"Um." Say something! Anything!
Looking satisfied as if that was just what he'd wanted to hear, Jensen dropped his hand to his side and took a step back. "I'll take that as a yes." With a wink, he turned his back to me and walked away, leaving me staring after him. It took me a while to realize that I'd been holding my breath the whole time.

trashed bushing
hey all
another newbie here. have a trashed front lower shock bushing on my 02 tj with a 4 inch lift. don't know the brand of shock. prev owner is in afganistan. they are white and say made in mexico. 2 sets of numbers. 008211 and 657341BP. others look like they are hourglass shaped. any ideas on what will work? and where can i find them?
There's no label or other markings on them...
How old are the shocks, maybe time to replace....
You might be able to check out 4wd.com or Quadratec and looking thru the bushings or shocks area to see.
You can pick up new shock bushings at O'Reillys & Autozone. More likely Oriellys, I think they have the rubber ones instead of poly.
As a general rule, unless there is something really custom about the shocks the bushings are pretty much interchangable.
thanks you two! will try oreillys.

Menu Mayhem!
I'm still been quite a crazy two weeks. We're trying to get into routine.
We've hosted a Shabbat, we went out for a Shabbat lunch, the Crazy Lady came to visit one day and we shlepped her around Kiryat Gat on a whirlwind of errands then ended at Home with a deliciously delectable lunch, The FamBily (including S&S) came over for a delightful midweek dinner, three of my planters have sprouted greenlings and the herbs are doing much better after I cleaned them up and relocated them, and of course we've been loving living in our beautiful Home. All in all, things are going very well!

Meshubach Meshugas Meshu.
Last Shabbos was a loooooong day. Buzz and Z both took really long naps, and I read a few thousand pages. It was pretty intense. Then of course nobody went to sleep until almost 1am, which made for an exhausted start to the week.
Yesterday we ventured into the old yishuv. We found a little bridge over the streambed, then made our way to the makolet. Somehow we ran out of ketchup. Unacceptable when the staple food in the house is potatoes. Thankfully the local mini-mart was well stocked. We left with a bottle of ketchup and an ice cream cone for the boys to share.
We stopped at the park to play and socialize. It's so much fun to be meeting all of my new neighbors! Making friends and connections. It's super cool!
The worst part is that we need to provide a car seat for Buzz to travel in, but the seats don't stay in the van full time, meaning that they need to be installed twice a day. So we need to get a seat that is easy to install, conforms to safety requirements for his age/height/weight, and that is light and compact enough that the caregivers and drivers can easily and properly install it in the afternoons. (Since they're installing 5-10 seats at the same time.) I guess I should just chalk it up to a school expense, but it's hurting my head to think that I need to spend 450nis to buy a car seat just to get beaten up for gan.
Gosh, kids are expensive.
My guess is that things won't settle down until after the holidays.
I'm looking forward to that calm.
And the rain.
I am strangely excited for it to rain.
Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Yesterday was a long long day. Besides a trip to the grocery store (to stock up on important things, like French fries), we didn't do very much all day.
Finally 5pm rolled around, so we piled into the car and drove out to attend orientation at Buzz's new gan. It's located about 25km away, in another small yishuv. The gan looks great. The staff seem sweet, warm, and caring. (We've heard rave reviews about them from our new neighbors who are beginning their second year at the gan.) It is a special gan, a gan safa. They have speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and other developmental specialists on staff to help the kids gain and grow as much as possible. There are only 14 kids to the three ganenot, which breaks down to a lot of individualized attention - which is pretty great! All in all, I'm sure it is going to be a positive experience. I just need to get over the anxiety of having him take a hasaah twice a day, and the fact that the school is so far away. No more running over on foot to pick him up if he's forgotten something or if he isn't feeling well. It's a little nerve wracking. Especially because I'll be home without any means of transportation most days, and even with a car, it takes almost half an hour to get there.
I think the room shaped up quite nicely. I just need to finagle some bed skirts to hide the fact that there are broken legs on both of the bedframes (which explains why they are propped up on crumpled up cardboard boxes. Whatever works, amIright?)
The last step is just to get some artwork hung up.
I'm not sure how it's Thursday again. It feels like Sunday. I guess I should do some laundry and figure out a plan for Shabbos. There's a kiddush planned at the shul after davening in honor of our neighbor's new baby. Besides that it's going to be our very first weekend without guests, and without eating out. I don't even know what we'll do to pass the time!

Tiny sword cut!
I woke up to a message on my phone from The Crazy Lady this morning. She wanted to know whether we would be open to having dinner together at our place. She said they'd bring the food, if we'd provide the location. We agreed, happily!
They showed up with everything from the bbq grills to the mustard. It was delicious and awesome. Z did the grilling, Yo Abba assembled the bookcase they brought us from Phil's bedroom, and Buzz tasted everything he could get his hands on.
I'm loving that The FamBily comes to visit us so much! It's really not a long trip, and the road is so scenic. I hope the visits continue as the months roll on!
Enjoy the pictures from our latest FamBily dinner!
Sunday, August 21, 2016
Thursday was a pretty busy day. Friday was even busier. Somehow though, everything was done and ready in time to make early Shabbos. Parts of The FamBily joined us. It was a weekend of many firsts. First time The Parentals have ever stayed by us, at the same time, since we got married! Dibble's first weekend at our place, and I don't think he minded the vacation overmuch. (Buzz helped set up the guest room for him, and added some fuzzy buddies as a finishing touch.) It was also Fuzzle's first ever Shabbos away with The FamBily.
Friday night included Chicken soup with meatballs, Persian saffron and tomato chicken, jeweled saffron and almond pilaf, roasted baby sweet potatoes, and crisp lightly steamed green beans seasoned with a touch of garlic and a drizzle of olive oil.
We went 'light' for lunch. Tossed salad, sliced veggies, spreads, glazed salmon, tomato cheese quiche, mini pizzas with a variety of toppings.
Then seuda shlishit was a veritable feast at dinner time. We enjoyed a big plate of chumus basar, ff Shnitzelonim, ff potato kugel, yellow rice and meat salad, and a selection of salatim and finger-food goodies from the local catering-hall.
Nobody left hungry. That's for sure.
It was a delightful weekend! We shmoozed and played (mostly with Lego). I wouldn't let The Crazy Lady wash any dishes, because she was on vacation. Some neighbors stopped by on Shabbos afternoon. Their son is the same age as Buzz, and the two of them played with train tracks and 'power tools' before realizing that there were cookies on the counter. It was really nice!
I have a fruit bowl and cookie jars! I LOVE my kitchen!!!
Our calendar is wide-open for next weekend. After 6 busy weekends, it'll be our first Shabbos with no plans at all since we moved. The week is long though, so that could always change.

Violins & Yetis
It was a whirlwind busy day. Buzz and I cleaned up the house. We organized the yellow room, cleaned the floors, straightened up the living rooms... Until it was passably neat enough for the Parentals to come and visit.
We made some dinner and waited for The FamBily to arrive. The Parentals, Phil, and the Giant Dibble finally made it. Five minutes later the timer rang and it was food time! Maple balsamic chicken, perfectly seasoned oven browned potatoes, crisp green beans, with hotdogs and fries for the strangest among us. All in all very excellent.
After dinner we got a little crazy. Dance parties, bimba races, Fitbit goal attainment, band-leading, touring, relaxing... Pretty much a typical evening for The FamBily.

Silica gels are versatile materials which are useful in a host of applications, such as flatting agents in coating compositions and thickeners and fillers in diverse compositions. They are generally prepared from gelforming ingredients which initially form a silica hydrosol which sets to a silica hydrogel. The hydrogel is processed to remove impurities and is then dried at an elevated temperature. The resulting gel is characterized by a high pore volume and high surface area and is inert in the environment in which it performs its function.
Conventionally, the process of preparing the gel involves mixing an alkali metal silicate and a mineral acid or carbon dioxide to form a silica hydrosol. Illustrative silicates include sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate and potassium silicate, of which sodium silicate is preferred because of its favorable economic factor. Suitable mineral acids include sulphuric, hydrochloric and phosphoric acids, of which sulphuric acid is generally employed. Carbon dioxide may also be used. The resulting hydrosol is allowed to set to a hydrogel. Next, if the hydrogel is not in a slurry fonn, it is broken into pieces and washed with aqueous acid solutions to remove undesirable impurities and impart specific properties. It is dried and then ground, or simultaneously dried and ground, to a desirable particle size, depending on the use to which it is to be put.
The hydrosol is generally allowed to set in a series of stainless steel tubs or on a moving belt, following which the resulting hydrogel is broken into particles having an average width ranging between about two and three inches, if not in a slurry form. The normal gradation of sizes ranges from about 0.001 inch to about three inches. The hydrogel particles are then washed with an acidified water solution so as to remove remaining a]- kali ions. This washing may, in the instance where the particles are large pieces, comprise a continual flooding of the particles with wash solution for in the range of to 40 hours. When the particles are in a slurry form, the procedure is to batchwise slurry and filter several times until the contaminant anions and cations are removed. The product of these washes is then contacted with an organic solvent which displaces the water so as to decrease silica particle shrinkage on drying.
The general procedure of washing the hydrogel and organic solvent displacement of water requires considerable equipment and space in order to process large amounts of material. In addition, it requires a prolonged period to complete the washing cycle, and the use of more aqueous wash solution in order to reduce the impurities in the hydrogel to a satisfactory level.
It is, therefore, a prime object of this invention to provide a process whereby the conventional practice of washing silica hydrogels and displacing water to form an organogel may be accomplished using minimum equipment, and is carried out at a more rapid rate and without impairing the quality of the product. This objective is preferably achieved by purifying silica hydrogel and converting it to a silica organogel in a continuous three-stage process.
In carrying out the process of this invention, predetermined amounts of carbon dioxide or of a mineral acid, e.g., sulphuric acid, and a soluble alkali metal silicate, e.g., sodium silicate, are mixed to form a silica hydrosol containing between about 3 to 18 percent SiO The sodium silicate solution may be any commercial grade having a weight ratio of SiO :Na O from about 1:1 to 3.421, and may also contain about 0.5 to six percent ammonia. The resulting hydrosol, which has a pH ranging between about 1 to 11, depending on the acid used, is deposited onto a continuous moving belt where gelation occurs in about 1 to 10 minutes. The gel sets on the belt as it moves along for a period of between about 20 to 60 minutes.
The hydrogel is discharged from the setting belt and then is passed through a cutter where it is reduced to a particle size of less than 20 mesh. The particle size is preferably that of a silica slurry hydrogel which permits efficient removal of soluble impurities therefrom in the subsequent threatment steps because a greater surface I is available for contact with the washing medium and faster mass transfer, due to the smaller particle sizes. In addition, the thickness to which the washing medium must penetrate is less than the conventional larger particles and consequently, the time required to remove the soluble impurities isappreciably reduced.
Optionally, the hydrogel particles, if acid set, may be passed to a tank where they are admixed withwater to yield a slurry having a silica content of about six to 12 percent. Ammonia in the form of ammonium hydroxide is then added in an amount sufficient to raise the pH of the slurry about the neutral point, generally in the range of 8.0 to 10. The ammonia is added for the purpose of increasing the pore volume of the silica. This ammonia treatment converts a portion of the linear reinforcing silica to a spheroidal micellular silica. The treatment is necessary for a hydrogel which has been in contact with an acid media and where the silica is to have a pore volume in the range of about 1 to 2.5 cc/g. The ammoniated slurry is heated to approximately F to 190F, preferably to F, for from about one to 40 hours.
In the next step, the hydrogel or the ammoniated hydrogel, depending on the previous process step, is pumped onto a moving belt which is provided with a vacuum of down to about 1 mm of Hg. on the underside through which liquid components are drawn, and banks of overhead sprays for depositing wash solutions. The degree of vacuum is not critical, with a vacuum in the range of l to 300 mm of Hg. found to be suitable. The belt passes sequentially through three or more zones, with the hydrogel receiving a separate treatment in each zone. A vacuum is maintained as the hydrogel moves through each of these zones.
Wash belts range in length from 12 feet to 150 feet. The belt speed is in the range of l to 30 feet per minutes. The residence time of washing is preferably in the range of 3 to 24 minutes. The treating zones may be equivalent or unequal in length as desired. This is not critical, since the wash solution composition of a zone may be easily changed by part or all of the overhead sprays of a zone being added to those of another zone if necessary. There is a complete flexibility in the arrangement of the overhead sprays, 'with the capability of feeding differing solutions to various banks of these overhead sprays. Spray volume and pressure is also variable as necessary. v
in the first zone, the hydrogel is partially vacuum dewatercd as it moves along the first portion of the belt. Preferably, no wash solution is sprayed on the hydrogel in this zone. When it reaches the second zone, water or acidified water is deposited on the hydrogel bed from 5 and diethylketone; aldehydes such as acetaldehyde or a plurality of overhead sprays. An acidified water is formaldehyde; esters such as ethyl acetate, ethyl propipreferred, and is sprayed in an amount sufficient to onate and methyl propionate and acids such as formic maintain the bed in a saturated condition to assure acid and acetic acid. The organic acids which may be thorough removal of sodium and sulfate ions. The used in admixture with the organic solvent include for water contains about 0.5 to 5 percent of acid, usually mic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid,- about 1.5 to 2.5 percent, and is at a temperature of ethylenediaminetetracetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, about 100F to 200F.

Very useful solvents are alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol or ethylene glycol; kctoncs such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone is Zone 1, 2 minutes; Zone 2, 13 minutes; and Zone 3, 30 minutes. The average filter cake thickness is approximately 0.6 to 0.65 inches.
The values in the table are about average for the cation cationic and anionic contaminants found in commercial grade silica gels. When working with hydrogel chunks using a flooding washing and exchanging technique, the time is excessively long, such as 30 hours. A considerable process advantage here also is the concurrent removal of alkali ions and conversion to an organogel in the third zone by using an acidic organic solvent or an acidified organic solution. This results in a significant reduction in process time.

Under Armour (UA) and U.S. Speed Skating renewed their contract Friday despite controversy over the suits worn to the Sochi Olympics, sending shares to a new high.
Under Armour inked an eight-year deal with the national speed skating team and will continue to design suits for the team for the next two Winter Olympics. The previous deal was set to expire at the end of this year. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Shares rose 4.6% to 112.09 in the stock market today before easing.
The athletic clothing maker spent years designing the Mach 39 suit for the games and even teamed up with the aerospace giant Lockheed Martin (LMT) to design a suit to shave seconds off skaters' times. But athletes at the Sochi games have been critical of the suits and blamed slits on the back for adding drag, resulting in the speed-skating medal drought America has seen at the games.
According to NBC, the Dutch team seemed interested in the suit's design until team officials said similar slits in an older model suit worn by the team caused problems with drag. The Netherlands has won more than 20 medals in speed skating at the games.
No U.S. speed skater finished higher than seventh, even after the team petitioned the Olympic committee to use an older model Under Armour suit. At the Vancouver games four years ago, the U.S team won 10 medals.
The U.S. women's bobsled team got a silver medal and the men's two-man bobsled team won bronze wearing Under Armour suits. The Canadian snowboarding team's uniforms also were made by Under Armour.
Olympic favorite Shani Davis told the AP it was good the company "still believes in the U.S. as a team."
Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank is still confident in the Mach 39 suit, which hadn't been worn in competition until the Olympics. Plank told USA Today that he will continue to invest in improving the suit for the 2018 games in South Korea.
Olympic sponsorship has helped turned the high-end athletic gear brand into serious competition against mainstays like Nike (NKE) and Adidas. The company also makes gear for the NFL Scouting Combine and shoes for the MLB.
