Can anyone tell me the resolution of the TDS reading? I skimmed through the datasheet, but I only saw a resolution on the conductivity reading. How does this translate to TDS? I need to measure really small changes, ideally less than 0.05%.

Harry Redknapp today launched a robust defence of his management style and hit out at claims his failure to rotate has led to exhaustion within Tottenham's faltering squad.
Tottenham were on the verge of moving 13 points clear of Arsenal in February but a run of one win in nine games means the Londoners could be sixth in the Barclays Premier League by the time they take on Blackburn at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Tottenham defender Vedran Corluka claimed this week Redknapp's reluctance to rotate - he made the fewest changes of any top-flight manager over the festive period - has caused the club's key players to tire.
Redknapp has clearly been riled by the claims of the right-back, who was loaned to Bayer Leverkusen in January, and insists he has no regrets over his reluctance to rotate this term.
"I am very happy with what I have done," Redknapp said in a fiery press conference this afternoon.
"The players have probably played on average 30 games this year and I don't think is a lot.
"I don't ever remember Bobby Moore getting rotated, nor Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Dave Mackay or Alan Mullery. They played ankle deep in mud every week.
"It's my decision. It's difficult to rotate a team. It's okay to rotate if you have enough players to do it but I have not been in that position due to injuries.
"Frank Lampard played 60 games in a season. I don't see him talking about being rotated.
"Ashley Cole has been playing 47, 48 games a year. Wayne Rooney has played well in to the 40s.
"They are not being rotated.
"If people keep telling players they're tired, they'll believe it.
"It's a load of nonsense. It's an excuse."
Redknapp has also been irritated by claims he had a bust-up with striker Emmanuel Adebayor this week.
"Whoever said that is telling lies. It is an absolute lie," he said.
"I have not had one cross word with Adebayor since he came here. He has never been a minute's problem to me. "When we took him here from Man City people said he's aggro or whatever.. but he is not a problem.
"The whole thing is fabricated. I am sure we would love to keep him here next year. He is a top player."
Having watched his team slip three points behind Newcastle after losing to QPR last weekend, Redknapp knows Spurs must win their last four games - against Blackburn, Bolton, Aston Villa and Fulham - to stand any chance of catching the in-form Magpies.
Even that may not be enough to qualify for the Champions League, however, as Chelsea will take the fourth qualification spot if they beat Bayern Munich in next month's European Cup final.
Redknapp insists his team's slump has been due to a mixture of bad luck on and off the pitch and is adamant he can bring Champions League football back to White Hart Lane next season.
"We lost people like Michael Dawson and at the start of the season Tom Huddlestone," Redknapp added.
"They're people who are important to the squad.
"We have had a disastrous run, it's like someone has hit you with a sledgehammer, but we've only played bad once really in the league - against Norwich.
"We're positive and it's all systems go from now on.
"We are looking forward to the last four games, we are in a great situation where we can still make Champions League and we are ready to go for it."
Tottenham's hopes of returning to winning ways against relegation threatened Blackburn have been boosted by the return of Adebayor and Younes Kaboul from their respective hamstring and knee injuries.
Redknapp did confirm, however, that left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto will miss the rest of the season after dislocating his shoulder against QPR last week.

Why We're Depressed
Cold and wet winters may put a damper on Americans' moods, but real depression is caused by several factors well beyond the most visible. Jobs, religion, health care and weather, among other factors, combine differently in each state to indicate the overall outlook of its residents. Yet some states struggle to recover from a dismal economy, and others, while troubled, continue to have hope. MainStreet combined rankings from three equally-weighted studies which each used different characteristics to measure depression by state: access to and use of mental health care, self-reported mental health statuses as well as outside factors known to affect mental health. We used Mental Health America's report, Ranking America's Mental Health: An Analysis of Depression Across the States, which covered mental health care need, use and availability; plus a ranking based on Kaiser Family Foundation data showing the percentage of people surveyed in each state who said they had poor mental health. In addition, we used a recent happiness study by Hamilton College in the U.S. and the University of Warwick in the U.K. that took into account objective quality of life indicators like weather and access to national parks. The results may surprise you. Photo Credit: Kim Joar

I will take her to ger gymboree class later on today, so that will give us something to do. I need to find more activities to do at home, I am buying her more finger paints and some more paper (she has a lot but if it's new it'll motivate her and she'll be happy playing)

These are two separate issues. My mother gave in to me every time I threw a tantrum. She also disrespected me by not listening to me and not taking my feelings seriously. The reason she gave in to me was because she didn't care enough to take the time or make the effort to help me. My father, otoh, was very strict but he always took the time to listen to me and talk to me and treated me like the intelligent, capable person that I was. Although I think he was too strict and would not want to follow all of his parenting methods, I respect and love him more today than I do my mother. I also feel more love and respect from him than from my mother.
You could give your children everything they want without dealing with tantrums. You can also treat your children with respect without giving them everything they want. Not everything that I want is good for me and not everything my dh wants is good for him or maybe not good for the whole family. We sometimes have to give each other a reality check. As a family, we have the responsibility of doing the same for our children.

|My child can choose what she wants to eat just as I choose what I want to eat. If I don't like what everyone is having, I'll make myself something else. ...Just because dd doesn't have the skills to make her own food or the money to buy her own food, doesn't mean she shouldn't be afforded this respect. Forcing kids to eat food they don't like or not to eat any food at all is continuing the food battle and is an ultimatum I personally find very, very offensive.
|Allowing a child to scream for hours and hours is not gentle discipline. Well, truthfully, I feel like a lot of things that are not gentle pass for gentle discipline around here anymore. My eyes were bugging out when I read that though.

I don't want her to grow up to be a stuck-on-a-tv-screen-all-day person, I want her to explore other things. I want her to read (she reads a lot but only when TV is off, if it's on she would much rather watch tv) then there's the ADHD thing, and studies that point towards TV being harmful not only mentally but physically as well. who wins here? help! I would feel uncomfortable letting her watch TV all day, to tell you the truth, it just doesnt feel right. about food, I think I need to start eating healthier foods If I'm going to ask her to eat healthy foods. It seems like torture to have a yummy box of ice cream in the freezer when she can't have any. it's like counting money in front of the poor. kwim?

I would love to find a more gentle alternative than screaming back "please stop" and hugs will NOT WORK. I have tried comforting her DURING a tantrum, but it only makes it worse.
|what about me needing 5 minutes to catch the end of a favorite TV show?
|for the other train of thought.. the same questions. what would you guys do in this case? in the middle of a tantrum, do you use bribes ever? how do you feel about punishment? I don't like these but I do want to know what works for you and why.

He recalls: "My whole world was collapsing around me. I was under the most horrendous pressure. I was barely sleeping, and yet I was being asked to sign government warrants in the middle of the night. My physical and emotional health had cracked."
Mr Blunkett concedes that he threw himself too much into his work: "I probably overdid it, compared with colleagues," he says. "In the early part of last year, after my resignation as home secretary, I was probably clinically depressed." He rejected the offer of antidepressants from a House of Commons doctor.
Mr Blunkett quit in December 2004 over allegations that a visa application for the nanny of his lover Kimberly Quinn had been fast-tracked. He is now re-entering the political arena with a controversial memoir based on the taped diaries he recorded at the end of each week.
Speaking ahead of the serialisation of the diaries in the Guardian from Monday, Mr Blunkett expressed strong views on a range of issues from the Iraq war to the Labour leadership, revealing that the war had taken "an enormous personal toll" on Tony Blair, and urging Gordon Brown to enlarge his circle of intimates within the party. "The main task for all of us is to make sure that in years to come Iraq is not seen as [Blair's] legacy," Mr Blunkett says. Instead, he asserts, the legacy will be "the complete transformation of Britain's economic, social and political culture".
Revealing that he and other friends of Mr Brown are urging him to broaden his circle, Mr Blunkett adds that the test for the chancellor if he becomes leader is whether "the rounded Gordon I have seen can come through. No one expects him somehow to change those who have been at his side for many years. That would be unthinkable," says Mr Blunkett. "But I think all his best friends are advising him to broaden the church." He also discloses having had enormous rows with the chancellor, adding that this was part of living in "a grown-up democracy".
Coming closer than any other member of the Blair circle to endorsing the Brown leadership bid, he says the chancellor remains odds-on to win, adding: "Not much has changed despite the arguments that have been going on in recent weeks."
He also discloses for the first time that he regrets the presentation of the intelligence dossier in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. A member of the war cabinet, he reveals that Britain battled with the US vice-president, Dick Cheney, and defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, not to press ahead with dismantling "the whole of the security, policing, administrative and local government system on the basis of the de-Ba'athification of Iraq.
"The issue was: 'What the hell do you do about it?' All we could do as a nation of 60 million off the coast of mainland Europe was to seek to influence the most powerful nation in the world. We did seek to influence them, but we were not in charge, so you cannot say that if only the government recognised what needed to be done, it would all have been different. The government did recognise the problem."
He admits: "We dismantled the structure of a functioning state," adding that the British view was: "Change them by all means, decapitate them even, but very quickly get the arms and legs moving."
Recalling his role in the war cabinet, he says: "I did two things, one that was good, and one that was not so clever. I asked rigorous questions to the point when Peter Mandelson said 'Are you onside with Tony?' and secondly I did not take enough notice because I was home secretary, and I did not argue enough about what we were doing presentationally about the dossiers. I just did not. There is no point pretending I did and I was right. I just did not."
He says he is not criticising the then head of the joint intelligence committee, Sir John Scarlett. "People took things in good faith, the pressures on people were enormous. If for the first time ever you are going to have a vote in parliament about going to war, and you are trying to win the country over, and you are trying to send signals that might in the end avoid war, you get into that kind of momentum which is very difficult to get out of."
Mr Blunkett likens Mr Blair's close relationship with George Bush to that of members of a joint cabinet, with collective cabinet responsibility.
He insists Mr Blair stood up to the president in private. He argues: "You influence someone not by abusing them, but by persuading them. I do not think that in politics there is a betrayal in privately telling the US the truth, and being supportive as it is possible to be, given the difficulties that causes you politically at home."
He reveals that everyone in Downing Street now admits Mr Blair was wrong to pre-announce that he would not serve a full third term. "Tony says it was a mistake, everyone around him admits it was a mistake, but it was a mistake in a moment in time. The aim was to let a little of the valve off."
Mr Blunkett discloses that the judiciary refused to meet him for dinner to discuss their approach to parliament and terrorism. He says: "I think bishops and judges are some of the best politicians in the world. They know how to manipulate the political process. They do it extremely well, and that is why the power of the judiciary has grown so much over the past 25 years."

The first one I received was defective as it would pop open when my dog pulled. Hot Dog Collars promptly replaced it with one that works great. As collars go, it does the job. A basic collar.

These lightweight, easily adjustable collars, available in a wide variety of bright colors, are ideal for identifying individual puppies in a litter. We raise coonhounds and are delighted to have found hotdogcollars.

I love this collar. Only thing is i wished the pink was a little bit more pastel or baby pink than hot pink in color. but otherwise its great.

Pretty collar that matches the description.
Posted by DELORES A. on 08/18/15 9:26 AM
I have bought this product in different colors along with the matching leashes. The only complaint I have is that the material is a little thin, but still secure.
Posted by Unknown on 08/06/15 9:31 PM
very nice, looks pretty sturdy.

I am very pleased with this collar, perfect fit and good quality. I have ordered several collars from this site and am always pleased with the product, prices and service!

It is exactly what I was looking for
Posted by DEDE on 04/29/15 6:39 AM
I purchased the emerald green matching collar and leash with my dogs name embroidered on the leash with two paw prints...love it!

I want to introduce you to Alberto Gallazzi's TACFIT Survival that will train you in "Tactical fitness, or movement which derives from and supports our primal heritage" allows you to: Move to Survive so you become Fit to Thrive." I love the idea of tactical fitness not because I am a member of our elite forces, or even police officer, or fire fighter, or even a park ranger for that matter BUT rather because I have a nearly three year old daughter and six month old twins.
If you are a parent than you can understand so for the rest of you let me make the connection. Tactical movements have amazing similarities to chasing after your toddler, picking up dropped pacifiers with a baby in arms, or maneuvering through a mind field of toys carrying baby and toddler. Parenting will have you moving in planes of movement you never thought possible (and have your chiropractor cringing with the poor body mechanics you are using to accomplish all the task that go with children). Enter TACFIT Survival…
What is TACFIT Survival and who is Alberto Gallazzi?
TACFIT Survival builds on the TACFIT platform. TACFIT's emphasis distills movements into their basic components, and then builds them up using Scott Sonnon's formula for an errorless process that uses incremental progression in learning adaptable movements that refine to complex movement patterns. Alberto Gallazzi, CST/TACFIT European Director, has been a part of the TACFIT community for the past 15 years. Alberto has an impressive resume that includes former Airborne Commando, Special Forces/Police consultant, Dignitary Protection Agent, full contact Jiujitsu world champion and Krav Maga expert. The TACFIT Survival protocol was created by Alberto to support his training of a specific type of Krav Maga, Hisardut. Alberto has created one of the most focused, time- efficient, and practical exercise programs under the TACFIT name.
What do TACFIT Survival movements look like?
What is the primary training focus of TACFIT Survival?
The following quote from the program manual will show you that simply stated the core is the primary focus of TACFIT Survival.
When performing TACFIT Survival, the movements create the need for the Hollow Body position in order to perform the repetitions. Since this Hollow Body position resists all three elements of rotation (pitching, rolling and yawing), you maximize your core activation. And since the core is grand central station for all the engines in your body, you gain the greatest fitness benefit from these specific movements.
For those of you, like me, who are not tactical operators, gymnasts, or martial artists need to experience the "Hollow Body" position to really appreciate the importance of this training emphasis. Head over to Coach Sonnon's blog to try his Power Chamber workout to feel the difference an engaged core does?
What do you get with the program?
For $97 you get a 43 page manual along with the instructional videos to explain the three levels of TACFIT Survival. The manual includes descriptions of the key mechanics, body position, and breathing techniques. The manual includes a program chart that follows Coach Sonnon's 4×7 training wave (4 day training wave that is repeated 7 times for one mission). There are also follow along videos so it is like you are working out with Alberto as you are learning the protocols.
Just like other TACFIT programs there is a specific warm-up video (including instruction) and cool down routine to help you recover from training and compensate for the training.
My one problem with the program is the audio quality of the instructional videos. You will likely need to watch the videos a couple times through to pick up all of Alberto's coaching queues (which isn't a terribly bad thing).
The next 28 days…
The 28 days in the title above references the 4×7 training protocol. TACFIT Survival was released two weeks ago, which was when I got it. So actually I only have 20 days left for my first time through the missions as I have already completed 2 cycles of the protocol (i.e. 8 days). I was going to wait until completed a full 28 day mission to post, but I have been too impressed with Alberto's program to wait to share it with you. There will be a few more posts, but I highly recommend picking up a copy of the program for yourself. It only costs $97 and gives you three months of training options with a sweet warm up sequence and specific compensatory movements to the training. You couldn't even buy an hour of Alberto's time for $97.

Good luck and drop a comment if you have any questions!
In health,

I know, that picture is lame! I spent way too much effort trying to figure out how to copy it and then just gave up and took a picture of the screen. Sorry.
Congratulations, Tiffany! And a huge thank you to all who entered!!
Hey, whatever works, right? What I've done it hit 'print screen' on the random.com website, then go into the paint program, then hit 'paste' - it will copy the image into a paint document. But, if you see my latest winner, I couldn't figure out how to make it all the random thingy and not white space. I'm working on it!

Paul "Ordinary" Rusesabagina
Family & Friends,
I just finished An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography. Mr "ordinary" is Paul Rusesabagina, the hotel manager at the hotel Mille Collines (aka "Hotel Rwanda"). The author says, "I am not a politician or a poet, nothing more than a hotel manager." He persevered in his job when the Rwandan genocide broke out on April 6, 1994. "I did ordinary things that an ordinary man would do." I would rather call him an "extraordinary man who did ordinary things at the constant risk of his life to save over 1,200 people."
He faced drunken, power-hungry, murdering mobs trained with machetes. His tools were a five-story hotel, drinks, cash, one telephone and a tongue. He did what no one else would do – not the UN, not the US, not the international community. He tried to get his family out, but would not leave himself. He cajoled, flattered, bribed and sweet-talked his way through negotiations when he was the only one without a gun or a machete. He mined his list of phone numbers gained by serving the elite at his hotel, and begged for help. His exploits in the book seemed even greater than in the movie.
In the film "Hotel Rwanda" you feel the horror of violence, but rarely see it. More amazing is that Hollywood told the story that actually happened! It was God's grace that a violence-loving Hollywood looked at 800,000 gruesome murders in 100 days and chose to tell the story of an ordinary man who displayed extraordinary love by risking his life to save others. That has "gospel" written all over it.

The countdown is upon us to November 6th! We have four days to go until Daylight Savings Time ends and we all set our clocks back an hour. The pros: We no longer have to get ready for work in the dark, and we get an extra hour of precious sleep! The cons: There's potential for insomnia, lost productivity and even car accidents.
Our internal clocks aren't as easy to switch as our digital clocks, so to make the transition go as smoothly as possible, it's important to prepare yourself for the change. Try these strategies:
- Brace yourself for it. You know the time change is coming, so prepare yourself by anticipating the possible disruption. If you know you've had trouble acclimating to the switch in the past, acknowledge that, instead of dismissing it as no big deal or belittling yourself for letting a measly hour throw you so out of whack. It's perfectly normal! When you're aware that you may take some time to adjust, you're better able to handle it.
- Adjust your sleep. Starting tonight, hit the sack 15 minutes later than normal and (if you can) wake up 15 minutes later. Tomorrow, get to bed and then wake up 30 minutes later. Continue shifting your schedule this way, and then by Sunday your sleep cycle will be on schedule to make an easier adjustment.
- Beware of the risks. For the first week after Daylight Savings changes, there's a 5 percent uptick in heart attacks as well as an increase in workplace injuries and car accidents. It makes sense that when folks are tired, they don't function at the peak of their abilities and they may get distracted, which can lead to injury. So make a concerted effort to stay alert, or (assuming it doesn't keep you up at night), add a cup of coffee to your regular routine.
- Maximize your daylight. The days are shortening, and the time change means less light in the evenings. To beat the winter blues, get outside when it is light out: Take a walk at lunch, or before work now that it will be lighter earlier on. If you're feeling particularly down as winter approaches, you may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, in which case you should see your doctor. He or she may prescribe you to use a seasonal light box (with 10,000 Lux brightness) for 20 to 30 minutes a day to boost your mood and energy.
- Lastly, change all your clocks and watches! Nothing will throw you off more than showing up an hour early to an appointment or missing a get-together because you forgot to make the switch. So be sure to synchronize!

INDIANAPOLIS - Opening its 18th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance at the same site where two of its defining wins of the 2012 season came, the 22nd-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol tennis team will travel to Charlottesville, Va., next weekend for the first and second rounds of the tournament.
Tennessee (14-12) will face 44th-ranked Virginia Commonwealth (20-4) on Friday, May 11 at 11 a.m. ET, while 14th-seeded Virginia, which is hosting the regional, will play Fairleigh Dickinson following that.
The winners of those matches will face on May 12 for a chance to advance to the Round of 16, which takes place in Athens, Ga. The championship site hosts the final four rounds from May 17-22.
"We're excited to get into the tournament and looking forward to preparing for VCU," co-head coach Mike Patrick said. "They're well-coached and will be a real formidable opponent."
Familiar with Charlottesville, the Lady Vols defeated No. 5 Baylor and No. 12 Northwestern there in February at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
"It's been an unpredictable season but we're looking forward to the challenge and hoping to leave Charlottesville with a pair of wins again," senior Natalie Pluskota said.
UT played six of its last seven regular-season matches without a full singles lineup, but is expecting to be at full strength - a situation in which the Lady Vols are 13-4 - in the tournament's opening rounds.
Despite the adversity, Tennessee has remained in the Top 22 of the rankings throughout the whole season.
VCU enters the tournament on an 11-match winning streak, fresh off of capturing the Colonial Athletic Association championship.
The lone all-time meeting between Tennessee and VCU came in the 2002 NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, when the Lady Vols used a 4-3 win to reach their first Final Four.
The Lady Vols have won five consecutive first round contests and 15 of the last 16.
Tennessee opened the 2012 season against Virginia, while the Lady Vols have never played FDU.
The Lady Vols suffered just a 4-3 defeat in their season opener while playing with five in the singles lineup, but own a 7-2 all-time record against the Cavaliers. UT had previously won five consecutive matches, including the lone NCAA Tournament meeting between the two, a 4-1 decision in 2003 to advance to the Round of 16.
The championship site that year? Athens, Ga.

By Yossi Zweig
The amazing 8th Day group we have all grown to love over the last few years is back with an all new album! " Hooleh!" is by far the band's most ambitious effort to date. Distributed by Aderet and produced, arranged and all original music and lyrics by 8th Day. With lyrical triumphs like " Sing-Along Song" and " Fighter", the material on this album is sure to wow you with its depth of emotion, relevance and overall character.
Of course the 8th Day duo of brothers Shmuel and Bentzi Marcus deliver the inevitable "can't control your feet from tapping and your fingers from snapping along" with the title track " Hooleh!", and the reggae-rock styled " Thank You". However, what really impresses is how they bring the real emotion on songs like " Stay" and the song dedicated to their kids " Your Name". Another ballad on the album " Royalty In Rhythm" speaks of the beauty and meaning of Shabbos [the Jewish Sabbath] in perhaps the most poetic and fun way you might ever experience.
For you rock guitar fans, do not fear. With power ballad " Freedom" and the song inspired by the struggles of Russian Jewry under Communist rule – " Never Afraid", your six string sensibilities will be quite happy.
All in all, 8th Day delivers another stunning work of art for all music fans. The production, arrangements and mixing on this album has gone to a whole new level. This one is a must have for your music collection so grab yourself a copy in stores now or download on-line from mostlymusic.com, iTunes and other major music sites.
For more on 8th Day please go to my8thday.com.
Happy listening!

Since 1887, we have been helping animals continuously.

Volunteers need to attend the Volunteer Orientation Meeting held on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 am at the shelter. Volunteers will fill out an application, and are screened by our volunteer coordinator, Judy Cummings.

Tom Wilhelmsen was FILTHY Last Night
There are lots of things to be excited about last night's game.
Justin Smoak stayed hot. Brad Miller had one of his patented two home run games. Erasmo Ramirez looked good.
Lost in all of that might be this Tom Wilhelmsen curveball that locked up the best player in the game.
It's beautiful.

Women who live in Lycoming County and are uninsured or underinsured are invited to participate in a free mammogram program from Evangelical Community Hospital. This program is provided with support from the Williamsport Lycoming Community Foundation.
Mammograms are by appointment only and can be scheduled by calling the Thyra M. Humphreys Center for Breast Health at (570) 522-4238. Women are encouraged to schedule their mammogram by June 1, as the program ends on June 30.
"We were so pleased to have the funding from groups like the Williamsport Lycoming Community Foundation to serve area residents who may fall through the cracks in terms of early detection because of a lack of or inadequate insurance," Andrea Bertram, Director of the Center for Breast Health, noted. "With approximately 40% of women in Pennsylvania not getting an annual mammogram, we anticipate that this funding will help us to reach more women with the important message that early detection of breast cancer saves lives."

The heroic language of the revolution no longer applied. The play, to use a metaphor, was over. The revolution had achieved success in the world and in health and education at home, but, as the Cuban joke goes, there are three minor problems: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In the late 1990s, with the rise of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela as a Cuban ally, money again began to flow into the island's economy and material life improved. But it's a far cry from the cradle-to-grave security days of the 1970s.
In 2010, Cuba still faces an intimidating U.S. embargo, or blockade as they call it because it reaches beyond bilateral lengths and punishes countries and businesses that do business with Cuba.
With Cuba no longer receiving Soviet aid, the U.S. embargo interferes not only with the needs of daily life—some products are hard or impossible to get—but demoralizes the population. "No hay" (there isn't any) has become the daily cliché. U.S. recalcitrance has made it more difficult for Cubans to write the script for the next period: how does the revolution convert from a highly centralized and authoritarian model into a functional society where the healthy and educated population can take initiative, without falling into capitalism, which Fidel and Raul Castro hate. Incidentally, Cuban newspapers don't hesitate to report facts about U.S. hunger, unemployment, foreclosures (300,000 in July), homelessness and the massive and unmet needs of the American infrastructure over the past two years.

"Our state cannot and should not continue maintaining companies, productive entities, services and budgeted sectors with bloated payrolls [and] losses that hurt the economy," said the official Cuban labor federation statement that announced the layoffs. "We have to erase forever the notion that Cuba is the only country in the world in which people can live without working."
The sight of idle Cubans on the street in the middle of the workday, drinking beer, playing dominoes, listening to music on boomboxes and basking in the sunshine had become an omnipresent irritant to working Cubans. From an apartment balcony in Playa, a Havana neighborhood, earlier this year, a 55-year-old working woman sneered at the young men on the corner. "Look at those bums, living off the state and not working. Where do they get the money to buy the beer?"
I thought about the "welfare cheat" clichés heard at times in the U.S. What became clear to me in my recent visits to Cuba, which I make at least once a year, was that the economy had become dysfunctional. Centralized authority—the political companion of the state-controlled economy—had also become a cruel joke.
Over the years I asked people I knew why they didn't organize activities for the kids playing amid rocks and rubble, and why neighbors didn't clear the streets. I got the same answer I received from people who would not allow me to film: "It isn't authorized."
Nor is the black market authorized, I thought. But it functions very well. Under the state-controlled system, thieves stole material, exacerbating the already difficult shortages, and sold the stolen goods back to the people for higher prices. Farmers could make more selling privately than through state-controlled prices, so, duh, that's what they did.
Raul Castro's initiative involves not only laying off unproductive workers from state payroll and pushing them toward the private sector—especially agriculture, where the labor shortage is acute—but decentralizing as well
Anyone who thinks Cuba is going capitalist, however, should check more carefully with the facts and the half-century dedication of its leaders to socialism. The small private sector that will gradually reopen, under President Raul's announced reforms, existed until 1968 when the "revolutionary offensive" shut down the small stores, street peddlers, service providers and artisans.
The changes, compelled by economic reality, should not blind observers to the fact the generation that made the revolution had pledged to carry out the goals that their revolutionary ancestors had in the 1860s, 1890s and 1930s. Under Fidel, Cubans' deep sense of their role in the island's history helped them to have the courage to commit the unpardonable sin: disobedience to the United States.
Cuba is still paying the price. The embargo is 50 years old. Hey! Give it time!
Saul Landau is finishing a film with Jack Willis, "Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up," about 50 years of U.S.-Cuba relations and five Cuban spies in U.S. prisons. He is a fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies.

The position of the Cuban leaders on economic issues in the 20th century and the 21st century is an attempt to develop world rubbers for the 22nd century to come. Left with no much food to less income ,the need to satisfy basic needs will directed towards the economies of developed nations either by negotiations or by crude terrorist acts of vandalism and banks luting.

It's Monday, which means our general productivity is virtually non-existent. It happens every single week, but we have yet to discover a successful solution to our downright laziness. But don't despair!
Remember the study that claims scrolling through puppy and kitty photos on the internet boosts work performance by up to 44%? Well, we've discovered the ultimate cure for today's moseying around-- Shishi-maru the cat.
Kristen Stewart is always around vampires these days. She's surrounded by the bloodsuckers in 'Twilight', and rumor has it she's back on with Robert Pattinson, AKA Edward Cullen. So since vampires are a Halloween staple, and October 31st is just around the corner, what better way to help us understand the creepy holiday than by enlisting K-Stew?
Whisky is a man's game. Kicking back with a glass is a testament to our manhood, but it doesn't seem like the stuff gets enough credit. That is until recently. It sounds like the testosterone-laced drink is finally gaining well-deserved attention these days, and we have some Scottish drunkards to thank.
Dressing up our furry friends means they're usually subject to embarrassment among other pups. However, we think it's the small price they pay for being so darn adorable. That being said, we've already made our Star-Wars-meets-puppies obsession pretty clear, what with the discovery of Ewok dogs and Princess Leia pugs. Could the fantasy flick and canine combo get any cuter?! Luckily for us, yes.
There is no such thing as an ugly baby. Kidding. There are and one guy divorced his wife for having an ugly baby.
Funerals are like those Lifetime movie marathons our women watch -- we hate them so much that a sturdy kick in the balls would be better than sitting through one. Unless of course said funeral is amped up with a couple of funeral strippers, in which case, awesome. Other than that, what else could possibly make such a depressing and sappy crap fest more bearable? How about not actually being dead?
We love our parents; we really do. It's just that during those early years, they can seem like the most embarrassing people on the planet. It's tough enough growing up (kudos to you if you can read the word "puberty" without wincing) without lame-o parents humiliating you, but when it comes to two parents in Wisconsin, we have to admit they've surpassed "embarrassing" and jumped straight to "awesome."
Is it just us, or are babies working to ruin their innocent and adorable reputations? Sticking forks in VCRs or dumping spaghetti sauce all over the dog used to be cute, but now it's just... who are we kidding -- it's still cute! No matter what they do , wee ones can't help making us kid-loving softies, even if said kid rocks a mighty stink-face.
Few things are most satisfying than pulling off a really, really good prank. We're talking about the scare-your-pants-off kind that leaves our unsuspecting little siblings and friends falling victim to tons of spazzing out and the occasional tear or two. Basically, it's the best kind of mean joke around, but it's all in good fun!
A few weeks back, a tiny baby burrito kicked off our craving for kids dressed in food costumes. (Not for actual baby. We're not zombies or anything.) It's such a simple concept, yet it yields such hilarious results. Talk about Halloween genius at its finest. Luckily, we can continue laughing and aww-ing over miniature tasty attire, thanks to the 'Babies in Food Costumes' Tumblr.
America's obsession with 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' is one of those weird things we just have to accept and (willingly) join in witnessing the ridiculous hilarity. Luckily for us, Alana and Mama June Thompson have been on a slew of news-related shows recently, and in true sassy fashion, the six-year-old has always brought crazy antics along with her.
We're self-proclaimed Halloween geeks. But honestly, how can you not be? There are so many ways to celebrate the holiday that by the time October 31st rolls around, our entire lives are defined by creepy stuff and ridiculous garb. Our pets aren't big fans of the festive takeover, but that's never stopped us from dressing them up as a turkey dog!

I been thinking of buying a Sportster 883 and later on building it up to a 1200 using Buell parts and adding this to a Atlas Precision frame. Do you have anything thing good or bad to say about the Atlas frames?
: Hey KC got a question for ya!!
I been thinking of buying a Sportster 883 and later on building it up to a 1200 using Buell parts and adding this to a Atlas Precision frame. Do you have anything thing good or bad to say about the Atlas frames?
I've never done anything with Atlas frames other than seeing some advertising stuff. I can however give my thoughts about the bike and I will look into the frame and ask around a little bit to see if any of the other shops in my area have had any expierience with them. Excluding the Buell, Harley-Davidson has built only TWO motorcycles in their long history that are capable of reasonably good handling. The Sportster and the FXR. The later Sportsters starting in the early '80s have a much stronger frame than did their earlier bretheren. The bike you're looking at is included in this family, Light weight, reasonably nimble and with minor suspension mods. VERY solid high performance handling characteristics. I like the 883 'cause when you pump them up to 1200 they are actually quite a bit stronger than the standard 1200. I've done a few and they REALLY MOVE! You will need to choose the right Cam/Carb/Pipe combination to get the most out of it but if you do it right..You will have a quick/fun motorcycle. If you need more info, Feel free to ask!
Well around here in San Antonio we got the Hill Country so the main purpose of the bike is to run these hills. Being a person who suffers from Need-for-Speed I would like the bike to have plenty of punch at take off and mid-range power. This is just for passing purposes only :D
Yeah, I know, I spend a lot of time passing too! Don't go too high lift on the cam ( No more than 510 ) long duration agressive ramping on the open side ( Get the Intake air moving early ) Lots of midrange and low end tourque. on these engines you spend way more time in the tourque than with horsepower. I'll get you some MFGs and cam numbers next week if you'd like. Also Do some porting on the heads and if its an EVO engine ( Witch it will be ) Use flat top pistons 'cause EVOs breathe better with those. If you want to raise your compression shave the heads.
Any info would be a great help. I want to know as much as I can on this type of performance before I even go out and buy the bike. That way I don't fall for th B.S. from the salesman. One thing that bothers me though...if I use Buell heads how do I use that mount that uses a rubber mount on top?
You don't really need to go with the Buell heads, Port the stock ones that's basically all the Buell heads are anyway, Ported stock heads. You'd have to grind off the front mount and clean it up to use the Buells anyway. It's a waste of money to buy new heads. I deal with this all the time. Most of the aftermarket shops are trying to sell you the latest overly expensive bolt on junk, and are missing the real goal, True performance and a satisfied customer. You have all the horsepower/torque you need hiding right there in your motor you just need to find it. And you can do that without spending money on stuff you don't need. I've gotta go right now but I'll get back to you later with more.

I have a set of 7m5 heads from a 72 455,i wondering if they would work with my .060 over 455 with trws,and a cam specs:244/252 with .548/.563 with my 1.65 rockers,i also have a ported 71 ho intake,and a holley 800 dbl.pmpr,any ideas on what kind power this will make?thanks for any help.
Yes they will work. Do you have flat top, dishtop, or dome pistons.Also do you know the part number for the cam. are the heads ported do they have a 3,5,or 7 angle valvejob.
Engine builder,self taught auto body guy.Horsepower sells engines and torque wins races
Standard run off the mill trw 2359,as the cam,the specs are ballpark,its a ho racing,hc-03a i bought in the 90s,i called ken and he said he made so many different specs of that cam he didnt know i had that info ona desktop dyno,so im guessing thats it.3 angle valvejob,comp 995s,just wondering if thats enough head/compression for that cam combo,like to have 450+hp,but dont know
I would recomend a compression ratio of 9-9.5:1 for your combo with the 114cc heads you have now you only have 8:1cr
Engine builder,self taught auto body guy.Horsepower sells engines and torque wins races
Another question on the same subject,i was researching last night and read that harland sharp 1.65 are really 1.71 when measured correctly,is there any truth,should i sell them and go back to 1.52s,hate to have the piston eat a valve,also would the lift decrease help with the compression delema??
Your compression is to low to be effective to get you the HP you mention. Also sounds like a lot of lift for that short of a duration???The only true way to measure the valve to piston clearance to bolt on a head, get a pair of solid lifters, put some clay in the valve reliefs and turn it over by hand one complete cycle. Remove the head and measure the clay. You can also measure the true ratio of the rockers. Measure the base circle of cam lobes and the high point subtract and you have the true lift number. Now that you know that number put an indicator on the tip of the rocker arm while you cycle it and record that reading. Some more simple math and you have the true ratio. You might also contact HS and ask them the true ratio.

Much has been said and written about pedagogy, andragogy and adult learning principles to customise and improve learning in the post secondary education sector. Knowles' (1990) principles for adult learning remain the key set of guiding philosophy that underpins delivery to learners in the post secondary sector, hence all learners are classed as adults. Knowles' (1990) principles adhere to a set of assumptions which is supposed to be tested before one decides whether the approach should be pedagogical, andragogical or a combination of both.

In the harsh world of search engine optimization, if you're not first, you're last!!!
In the Search Engine Optimization 101 tip, we looked at the need and importance of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In this tip, we'll look at some design guidelines that'll help search engines find, index, and rank your website efficiently. The goal is to be ranked in the first page results.
Pre-requisite to SEO
Optimizing websites for search engines only makes sense after you've designed the site for high usability. This is because website visitors scamper from poor user experiences. Therefore, ensure your website provides a great user experience before you decide to optimize it. Read the Usability 101 and Usability 201 tips for more information on how to make a website usable.
Guideline 1: Create a Site Rich with Information
People visit your website for a service. As part of this service, there is information transfer that occurs. To search for a particular service or information, people type in criteria in a search engine. This criteria are called keywords. The search engine then locates websites that contain the keywords you have specified. Let's take an example.
Suppose a person is looking for a closet light. She might type keywords, such as Closet Light, Fluorescent Closet Light, or 6" Fluorescent Closet Light. The search results for each of these keywords is different, as shown below.
Closet Light
6" Fluorescent Closet Light
It is more difficult to rank in the first page with broad keywords, such as Light and Closet Light. This is because there are more sites competing on those keywords. Therefore, you should optimize your site for specific keywords, such as Fluorescent Closet Light. After you've thought of the specific keywords a potential visitor will type in a search engine, the information or content in your site should include those exact keywords.
Having said that, don't include too many instances of these keyword phrases because it reduces readability and simply annoys the person visiting your website. So, even though your site is ranked in the first page, it won't produce higher sales because the visitor will perceive your website to have information that is not useful.
Guideline 2: Use Accurate and Descriptive Titles
Every website page has an HTML title. The Title is what is found in the top right hand corner of the window, as highlight in the screen grab below. The keyword phrases you've chosen should also appear in the Title tag for search engines to locate your website.
For example, if you type Search Engine Optimization 101 in Google, you'll notice that the WorldStart Search Engine Optimization 101 tip is not displayed in the first page. However, if you type "Search Engine Optimization Computer Tip" or "Search Engine Optimization 101 Computer Tip", then it is ranked number 1 (see below). This happens because as the search engine crawls the web looking for web pages that contain the keywords you've specified, it comes across fewer web pages. The Title must be adequately descriptive.
Guideline 3: Use Text
When search engines crawl a web page for keywords, they do not understand the text written in the images. Keywords should always be written in text. Also, when you use images, specify the keywords and some descriptive text in the ALT attribute.
Generic Website Design Guidelines
Mentioned below are a few website design guidelines that you should never forget:
– Your site should have a hierarchy and text links.
– Check for broken links and correct HTML.
– Every page of your website should be accessible from at least one static text link.
– Limit the links on a given page to fewer than 100

Push-Up Bralettes
Push-Up Bralettes
If you're looking for the perfect push-up bra but aren't quite feeling those underwires, you've come to the right place. Just because it's wireless doesn't mean it can't give you that lift you've been craving. Our push-up bralettes are total perfection. They give you the elevated silhouette you want but with the lightly-lined comfort of a little lace bralette.
Our bralettes offer removable padding for maximum versatility and complete comfort. But with delicate lace in sweet, summery hues, they're super stylish, too. So, let them show! These babies were meant to be seen. Layer them with all your favorite summer tops. Under a classic must-have tank or a cool backless top, it's a flirty little accent that's sure to be noticed whether it's date night or beachside bonfire.
Other ways to rock that lightly-lined yet super supportive fit? We love the halter bralette. It hugs the neck and gives a natural lift. Plus, it looks pretty killer under a classic tank. The racerback bralette provides a sporty-chic effect and shows off those shoulder blades in a major way. And the bandeau is super cool under a muscle tee but doubles as a sweet strapless solution, so you're tube top ready or party-dress appropriate. Bonus? Our bralettes are so comfortable, you can actually sleep in them. Check out our sleepwear and create those so-dreamy slumber vibes.

That doesn't make any sense.. I mean would you like your item to be on the front page for 1 hour? At least it gives time for new items to get exposure on the front page.. if all the submitted items where reviewed instantaneously in the same day i think we would have more threads about why our items have almost no exposure.
You got less time on homepage only when more items will be accepted. If they will be reviewed even instantly but with the same requirements (= the same quantity accepted), then you will get the same time on homepage as now, even maybe much more stable for each item than now.
It was much easier to wait when we have the queue counter and saw how much items will be reviewed before yours.
well maybe if you publish 30 items youll get approved all of them at the same time :D
lol, I had to wait 14 days for my last project to get approved. May be this happens as there are lot of authors here now. Guess envato team have to add some more rows to the home page.
I don't know how that progress bar work either LOL
Good one Gianluca!

They're at it again (or, rather, they're NOT). Today, I ended up kicking nearly my ENTIRE film and lit class out of the room for not having done the reading.
*I told them a MONTH ago that they needed the book.
*The book in question is a Grisham novel; easy to read, compelling story, generally fun.
*The assignment asked for them to read 93 pages in four days (the assignment was given on a Thursday – we didn't meet again until today).
*Of the 10 kids I kicked out of the room, only three of them actually HAD the book. Three claimed to have the book at home ("I forgot it…") and the rest haven't bothered to get the book at all.
The two kids who were left in the class had not only read the assignment, but couldn't stop and read PAST where I told them they could have stopped. We had as lively a discussion about the book as we could (given that we were only three people). I gave them chocolate.
