Jussi Jaaskelainen today conceded that West Ham's next home match against West Brom will be "a massive game".
West Ham, who have 33 points from 29 matches, dropped two places to 14th following the 2-0 defeat at Chelsea and, but for Jaaskelainen, the home side could have won more emphatically.
Jaaskelainen said: "Players like Mata and Hazard are top-class but the way we kept the ball in the first half wasn't good enough. We were a little bit lucky not to concede more.
"We just have to keep going. We have a weekend off now and then we have to go again in a massive game against West Brom in a fortnight."
West Ham's exit from the FA Cup in the third round meant yesterday's match was only their second one this month and Jaaskelainen admitted it was a frustrating situation.
"Sometimes you don't want to have a break and after the win over Stoke we thought it would be great to have a game the next week," said the Finn.
"Now we have another two weeks before our next match but that comes at a good time because we'll get three or four players back in and we'll be stronger. Hopefully we can benefit from that."
Mark Noble missed yesterday's match because he is still being troubled by a nerve problem in his arm and manager Sam Allardyce revealed his concern over the injury.
"Joe Cole, Kevin Nolan and Mark Noble would have probably been on the team-sheet from the start against Chelsea, had they been fit," he said. "Mark Noble is the biggest worry because he's had a recurrence of the injury we thought we had cleared up after a four-week rest. That's a major problem for us. Nolan has a broken toe and Joe a slight hamstring problem."
West Ham beat Chelsea 3-1 at Upton Park in December but Allardyce admitted the Blues deserved to win yesterday. He said: "We've got the talent and I want the talent to be maximised every game. I want them to maximise their performances whoever they're playing and if the best isn't quite good enough at the end of the day, then fair enough.
"To ask a team who are newly promoted into the Premier League to beat a top four-team twice is a pretty big ask, isn't it?"

UPDATE 2-Essilor bets on sunglasses and China after weak 2013
* Aims to double revenue in sunwear to 1.1 bln euros by 2018
* Buys Coastal.com for $388 mln to boost online sales
* Sees margin gradually rising to 19.5 pct in 2016
* Sales growth slowed, operating profit missed consensus
By Natalie Huet
PARIS, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Lens maker Essilor is betting on appetite for trendy sunglasses among the fast-growing middle classes of China and other emerging markets to drive sales after weakness in Europe and North America weighed on 2013 earnings.
The French company is the world's largest opthalmic lens maker with a 37 percent market share, supplying eyewear makers such as Milan-based Luxottica. Its products span reading glasses that sell in India for the equivalent of a few euros to high-performance lenses costing hundreds.
But Essilor had to cut its sales growth forecast twice last year and still missed this target, blaming a slower-than-expected recovery in Europe and North America, tough competition and delays in finalising some acquisitions.
The company now plans to focus more on sunglass lenses - which currently make up just 10 percent of revenue - aiming to double sales by 2018. The market in sunglasses is expanding twice as fast as the corrective lens market, as consumers follow fashion trends and are willing to spend more to protect their eyes from the sun's harmful effects.

A UCLA environmental health sciences researcher whose appointment was not renewed this year has filed a whistle-blower retaliation complaint against the university, saying he's being punished for publishing politically incorrect research findings and for previous whistle-blowing against colleagues.
UCLA officials had planned to end epidemiologist James Enstrom's appointment August 30 but extended it until March 2011 after outside groups intervened, including a group of California Republican legislators and the Pennsylvania-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
Chris Radcliff/Flickr
University officials said Enstrom's appointment wasn't renewed because his research wasn't properly aligned with the mission of his department and did not meet financial requirements – not for political reasons.
Enstrom wasn't tenured or on a tenure track, but he has worked at UCLA for 34 years. He believes UCLA faculty voted not to reappoint him this year because of two main issues: his role in challenging the makeup of the California Air Resources Board and his controversial research on fine particulate air pollution, which he presented to the board [PDF] in February with other scientists.
Earlier, as the board was planning to adopt strict regulations on diesel truck emissions, Enstrom argued the group had not fairly evaluated California-specific studies (such as his own research) looking at the health impacts of diesel particulate matter, according to Inside EPA.
In 2008, Enstrom complained at an Air Resources Board hearing that lawmakers and board officials were improperly allowing some members of its Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants to serve far beyond term limits. He said some members had served for more than 20 years, locking out other scientists such as himself.
One of the panelists at issue, John Froines, is a colleague of Enstrom's in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at UCLA's School of Public Health.
Following Enstrom's complaint, the Pacific Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit in 2009 saying that panel members shouldn't be able to serve such long terms. California Watch reported in August that the Sacramento-based group, which has a history of fighting environmental legislation, is taking credit for the recent ouster of Froines and four other members of the panel.
Enstrom says he believes Froines was behind the university's decision not to reappoint him. Froines declined to comment to the Daily Bruin.
The Natural Resources Defense Council calls Enstrom the "lone critic" of the scientific research that says diesel soot is a major health hazard. The group cites a 2006 critique of Enstrom's research on the topic from the journal Inhalation Toxicology.
Previously, Enstrom had faced criticism for his research and for having an industry bias. The American Cancer Society accused him of scientific misconduct after he authored a 2003 British Medical Journal article funded by tobacco companies that questioned a link between secondhand smoke and lung cancer. After an internal UCLA investigation, Enstrom was cleared of the charges of scientific misconduct, Inside EPA reported.
Enstrom later vocally opposed a proposed campuswide ban on tobacco money for research at the University of California, Science Magazine [PDF] reported.
UCLA first informed Enstrom he'd be laid off in February 2010, saying his research funds were overdrawn. Enstrom told the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education that UCLA was to blame for the overdraft because the university inexplicably charged his salary to his research fund. A UCLA official did not respond to a request for comment.
After UCLA denied Enstrom's initial appeal, he filed an academic complaint and a whistle-blower retaliation claim.
A June 9 letter from Richard Jackson, chairman of UCLA's Environmental Health Sciences department, told Enstrom he was being laid off because his research was "not aligned with the academic mission of the Department, and your research output and ability to secure continued funding does not meet the minimum requirements for the Department."
Then last month, a group of 21 Republican lawmakers led by Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda, coordinated a defense of Enstrom, penning a letter to UCLA Chancellor Gene Block demanding an accounting for the firing:
Based on our understanding of the situation, he has not been given valid justification for the termination of his 34-year exemplary academic career at the UCLA School of Public Health. It appears to us that he is being dismissed in order to silence his scientific views on the health effects of fine particulate air pollution.
The letter threatened a hearing if the university didn't let Enstrom hang on to his appointment pending his appeal.
If Dr. Enstrom is dismissed before his appeal has been fully evaluated, we plan to promptly hold a hearing in Sacramento on this matter.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education also intervened in the matter with a letter to Block.
Enstrom said UCLA decided last week to extend his appointment until March 2011. Although he says he could simply retire and enjoy life, he feels an obligation to fight. He says UCLA hasn't given him any explanation as to how his work is out of sync with the department's mission, nor has it defined the financial requirements he failed to meet.
"if you start ending scientists' careers – especially one with a career as long as mine – without a valid reason, in my mind you don't have a university anymore," Enstrom said.

Shimano TEK600 Tekota Reel
by Shimano
Price: $189.99

- Aluminum Braced Graphite Non-Handle Side Plate
- Aluminum Spool
- Rod Clamp
- Manual Clutch (excluding 300LC, 500LC and 600LC which are Auto-Return)
- A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings)
- Super Stopper
- Assist Stopper
- Dartainium Drag
- Oversized Cast Control Knob
- Clicker
- Septon Handle Grip
- Oversized Clicker Button
- Double Paddle Handle (300, 300LC only)
- Counter Balanced Handle (excluding 300, 300LC, 700 and 800)
- Adjustable Handle Shank (700 and 800 only)
- Non-Disengaging Levelwind System
- Palmable Linecounter with Maintenance Port (500LC and 600LC only)
- Crossbar Forward Design
- Metal Series
Tekota� Feature Details
- A-RB� Bearings
Stainless steel ball bearings that have been through the A-RB treatment process which makes them at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
- Super Stopper�
Super Stopper uses a one-way, stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power.
- Assist Stopper�
This is a back up system to the Super Stopper that consists of the traditional pawl and ratchet. Should the Super Stopper roller bearing slip due to cold weather or over-lubrication, the Assist Stopper kicks in to provide a solid hookset the instant the roller bearing begins to slip. Most of the time the angler will not even know when this feature engages, because by quickly stopping the backwards rotation of the roller bearing, the Assist Stopper greatly reduces the chance of permanent damage to the Super Stopper, allowing it to continue to function as designed.
- Dartainium� Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
- Oversized Cast Control Knob
Comfortable and easy to use.
- Clicker
When engaged, the clicker increases the tension in freespool and activates a clicking alarm to alert you when a fish bites.
- Septon� handle material
This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
- Oversized Clicker Button
The button is larger and makes it easier to turn on and off.
- Counter Balanced Handle
These single grip handles feature an extended shank with a counter-balancing weight on the opposite end of the grip. This reduces the amount of wobble during high-speed retrieves.
- Adjustable Handle Shank
For deep water situations or for anglers needing more leverage, the handle shank can be extended to increase the amount of power that can be applied to the retrieve.
- Non-Disengaging Levelwind System
On wide-spool reels with a non-disengaging levelwind system, the levelwind remains engaged during the cast allowing the levelwind to track back and forth with the line as it flows off of the spool. This eliminates the drastic line angles caused by a disengaging levelwind system that can cause extreme friction which can lead to short casts or frustrating backlashes. By doing this we have increased the efficiency of the cast, allowing for more distance less effort.
- Palmable Linecounter with Maintenance Port
Comfortably rests between the thumb and forefinger when palming the reel, providing depth readings in feet. The reset button is strategically located for easy, onehanded resets, yet prevents accidental resets. Inserting one drop of lightweight oil into the sealed maintenance port keeps the linecounter performing in top condition.
- Crossbar Forward Design
Allows more access to the spool for better line control, and provides more comfort when palming the reel.
- Metal Series
The metal construction showcased in some of our finest reels now appears throughout our line of Metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodizing, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.

Excellent reels
December 23, 2016
Well worth the investment for trolling rods. THe level wind makes it easy to guesstimate line out to help with depth estimation when your trolling for stripers. These are my second tekota purchases, totalling 10 in all.

Perfect Reel for Deep Water Bottom Fishing
December 5, 2016
I have mine paired with a stout 6 1/2 ft boat rod for deep water (250 ft and deeper) for big rock cod or lings in SoCal where a 16 oz sinker is a must. Great cranking power with 65 lb Power Pro braid. Get rid of those old big Penns and get one of these.
ProsVery solid reel mechanically and yet not too big/heavy and with a level wind line lay on the spool is no problem
ConsWhile it has an excellent handle I got an after market 5 " handle w/power grip for deep water cranking.

A Solid, Well Built Reel
December 5, 2016
Paired with an 8ft Seeker Inshore rod with 20 lb mono leader + 50 lb braid it's my go to outfit for fishing for calicos in the kelp with bait off SoCal.. If I want I can also cast a 1/2 oz-3/4 oz jigheaded swim bait a mile it's that smooth running of a reel. If I also get a pickup on a 20 + yellowtail or schoolie Albacore it can handle that too.
ProsSmall, solid, smooth drag and casts a flylined anchovy or sardine with no $#%@&* overruns. I like that I can freespool and let the bait swim around and then on the pickup engage the lever clutch,let the circle hook do it's thing and it's "fish on." Handles braid well.

Great Reels !!!
February 29, 2016
I have two for west coast fishing. The Mdl 300 (got the optional Shimano single knob crank handle) with 50 # PowerPro w/25# floro topshot which is great for flyling sardines/anchovies for calicos in the kelp to schoolie yellows/albies in open water on a f/t-h/d 8ft Seeker trigger rod. The mdl 700 w/an after market long shank power handle with 65# powerPro tied right on to a 2 hook ganglon and a 6 1/2 heavy rod is great for deep water (300ft) rock codding. Both great reels and unlike many I like a level wind especially when cranking up 16 oz + of sinker and 10lbs + of fish from way down deep.
ProsThey work and are well made with no problems encountered so far after two seasons of use. But then again again they are Shimanos.

Great reel
February 12, 2016
I have owned and used two Tekota 800 reels for six years. I bought them as strong reels with levelwinds as I often take very inexperienced people wahoo and mahi fishing. They have held up GREAT. I run 65 lb. braid on these reels and they hold miles. This because we could always tangle with a marlin. Hasn't happened yet, but we did land a 168 lb. sailfish recently. Surprisingly, these Tekotas knocked out my Saltist and Accurate bottom fishing reels. These Tekotas are just so smooth and strong, and I found it much easier to drag up the big grouper and snapper with these larger Tekotas than on the somewhat smaller but higher gear ratio Saltist and Accurate reels. And not having to use your sore thumb to levelwind abrasive braid all day is a plus. The levelwinds are strong and have never been challenged by big fish and big weights 800 feet down. I maintain my reels very well, soak in rainwater after every trip, partially disassemble and grease often, and these reels are still functioning like new. There is enough plastic on this reel to get scobbed up in hard use, but none of that stuff is structural. They still look good. I would not choose these reels for marlin or really big tuna, but these reels have the power and capacity to handle anything swimming up to maybe 200 lbs. And not having to constantly remind kids and rookies to thumb the line on retrieve is worth a lot.

Great Reel!
December 21, 2015
This reel is a workhorse! It is light, has plenty of drag and a nice low gear ratio. The low gearing allows you to easly land big fish without pumping the rod like a mad man. The levelwind is a bonus when dropping and reeling for seabass in 100' of water. With a levelwind, you don't need to worry about line lay and IMO it helps prevent backlash. I've owned the Tekota TEK500 for 4 years now and have nothing but good things to say about it.

Wreck Fishing Reliability
January 3, 2015
Great reel for wreck and reef fishing. Holds a lot of braid so you can reach the deeper wrecks and reefs if you like fishing in 150-250 feet of water. Has the drag to lockdown on big tog and those monster blues which seem to love to hang out over the wrecks. Also capable of handling big stripers as well. Easy to maintain, have had no issues with birds' nest or any braid issue for that matter.

First Shimano Reel I Owned!
June 3, 2014
One of the best reels I own, Bar none! Handling the Tekota 500, was my experience with Shimano Products. I was on a party boat, fishing for Fluke, and the fella next to me had the 500 on a 7' Compre Rod. I noticed how well the combo he was using was standing up to the 6 oz lead we were using to hold bottom that day. And what little effort he used when reeling in a plus 20.5", or better, Fluke. I asked him if I could use it, and my Peen Reel days ended right there on the deck of that party boat. Compared to my Penn, this rod/reel combo was super light and with superb balance to boot. I actually hooked a decent size Fluke on that cast. I was amazed how smooth the drag. And I was exerting a lot less effort compared to the Penn. Not that these are large fighting fish. None the less, I felt a big difference. The levelwind was also very smooth. No grinding or sticking. And this reel was a few years old. I was just as taken with the over sized knob. I could tell right away I was handling a high quality reel in which a lot of thought and detail was used to design it. The next day, I bought a Tekota 300 and 500. That was about 3 years ago. And I have since replaced all of my tackle and gear, with predominately Shimano Products! If you are as passionate about fishing as I am, you to would want to use a quality product. Not to take away anything from Penn Products. They are very well made reels. And they have been around forever! After handling that reel, I simply preferred Shimano.
ProsSmooth drag, less effort exerted when reeling, very light, of high quality, durable, levelwind, superb casting, oversized knob
ConsThe one issue I have with Shimano is when they discontinue a reel, I find it very hard to find parts. Fortunately that is few and far between!

2 Questions & 2 Answers
from NJ asked:
February 8, 2016
Can this be used with wireline? Only difference between this one and the 600LC is the line counter on the LC?
Yes, just do not leave the wire on the spool for too long because it will corrode everything since the line and the spool are two different metals they will corrode each other. Also, you are correct that the LC model's only difference is the line counter.

Dose this reel come in left hand wind
This reel is not offered in left handed retrieve. For left handed retrieve look at the Shimano Cardiff 401A. If that reel is not big enough for what you are looking to do then check out the Penn Fathom level wind series.

Every Thursday people dig up old photos of themselves and friends from way back and post them on their social media for everyone to enjoy and feel all nostalgic. This week I decided to take it one step further and dig up some old video. For this Throwback Thursday I went all the way back to my senior year of high school, 2002. Check out what I came back with.
So what the hell is happening in this video? During my senior year of high school I was lucky enough to be placed into the NCTV program under the tutelage of Lance Madzey our teacher, mentor, and still to this day, an awesome friend. I learned a lot great things under Madzey's watchful eye and I have a lot of great memories too.
We produced a live weekly show called 'Studio 39′. It included news pieces, original productions, and of course idiotic things like the video above. Our motivation for the video was, "how many stupid things can we do with Eggnog?"
We came up with an eggnog drinking contest (that ended in a lot of puking), an Eggnog Shower with your's truly (yes I scream like a girl), and lastly, every man's fantasy – an eggnog wrestling match. The last bit of video is a little bit of behind-the-scenes look at what it involves to put something like eggnog wrestling together.

LONDON (Reuters) - Obese women have four times as many unplanned pregnancies as healthy-weight women despite having less sex, and obese men are more likely to have sexual diseases despite fewer partners, scientists said on Wednesday.
In a study showing how obesity can harm sexual health, French and British researchers also found that obese women are less likely to ask for contraceptive advice or use the pill, and obese men are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
With obesity epidemics overwhelming many wealthy nations and threatening increasing numbers of developing countries, experts said the public health impact of the findings was important.
In the United States, for example, two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese.
"In public health terms, the study lends a new slant to a familiar message: that obesity can harm not only health and longevity, but your sex life," Sandy Goldbeck-Wood, a specialist in psychosexual medicine at Britain's Ipswich Hospital, wrote in an editorial on the study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
The research, led by Professor Nathalie Bajos of France's National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM), is the first major study to investigate the impact of being overweight or obese on sexual activity and other factors such as sexual satisfaction, unintended pregnancy and abortion.
The authors surveyed the sexual behavior of 12,364 men and women aged between 18 and 69 years in France in 2006. Around half of them were normal weight, with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 25, around 2,500 of them were overweight, with a BMI of 25 to 30, and around 750 of them were obese, with a BMI over 30.
Compared to normal weight men, obese men were 70 percent less likely to have had more than one sexual partner in the past year and two and half times more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. Obese men under 30 years old were far more likely to have had a sexually transmitted disease. Continued...

My family loves tacos and has them at least once a week. I recently heard that Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza has a Taco Grande pizza for a limited time. This past Tuesday, we picked up a beef and chicken Taco Grande pizza and a couple of Mini-Murph kits for my little ones to put a twist on our Taco Tuesdays. The Mini-murph kits are personal size pizzas, that come with all the supplies that your kids need to make their own pizza…and they are only $3.oo! We also got a bucket of cookie dough for dessert. Dinner and dessert for a family of 5 for under $30 and it was hot and fresh out of the oven.
I was surprised at how much the pizza tasted like a taco, pleasantly surprised! It really does taste like a taco and so much easier to eat than a traditional taco. The large size pizza is $10 and I don't know about you, but it cost me a lot more than $10.oo to make traditional homemade tacos, so at that price, it's worth a taste test. The Taco Grande pizza is only around for a limited time, so try it while you have a chance!
If you are in Lawrence, KS area, there is a new store and you have a chance to celebrate their grand opening! The store is located on 650 Congressional Drive. A grand opening celebration is set for May 2-4, featuring family friendly games, activities and giveaways. On Saturday, May 4, the first 100 people through the new Lawrence location will receive coupons for a free large pepperoni pizza (one per family) starting at 10 a.m.
I have always been a fan of Papa Murphy's and turns out I'm in good company!
- Papa Murphy's also ranked #1 pizza chain in the 2013 Consumer Picks survey by Nation's Restaurant News and WD Partners, a global strategy firm.
- Papa Murphy's ranked #3 overall, way ahead of all other pizza franchises, including Papa John's (ranked 46), Pizza Hut (ranked 65), Domino's (ranked 76) and Little Caesars (ranked 88).
Now, you can TWIST your Taco Tuesday too!

the special dialect and vocabulary used by the gay community
'According to Bill Leap, co-ordinator of the 10th Annual American University Conference on Lavender Languages and Linguistics, homosexuals communicate with each other in ways that are "different from the linguistic practices of non-lesbian/gay-identified persons".'Michael L. Betsch, CNSnews.com 6th February 2003
For some 10 years now, scholars and students have been gathering annually in Washington DC to discuss topics in the field of so-called lavender language and linguistics, the term used for issues relating to the pronunciation, vocabulary and meaning of the language of the gay community. Over in the UK, Paul Baker, lecturer in linguistics at Lancaster University, has spent several years researching this dialect, adopting the subject as a PhD topic and authoring three books in the field of lavender linguistics.
the colour lavender is often used to identify 'gay-friendly' environments, hence its use
in terminology surrounding
gay issues
Lavender language functions as a kind of homosexual code, characterised by acronyms, plays on words and double meanings only intended to be understood by the gay community.
This alternative sense of the adjective lavender is, in fact, used productively in a variety of issues surrounding the gay community, and in the linguistic context occurs in descriptions such as lavender texts, lavender phonology/terminology and the lavender lexicon.
The colour lavender is often used to identify 'gay-friendly' environments, hence its use in terminology surrounding gay issues.
Lavender language is, in fact, a modern adaptation of Polari, a lexicon used in the 1950s and early 1960s by gay men as a secret language which concealed their homosexuality in the face of the repressive society of the time. Polari was famously used by the late British actor Kenneth Williams, in a 1960s radio programme entitled Round the Horne. The open use of the dialect in a radio broadcast was indicative of a changing climate in attitudes to homosexuality.
Today's lavender terminology is widely anglicized, but Polari was based on languages such as Italian, French, Yiddish and the slang of particular social groups such as sailors or fairground people. Some key lexical items still in use today are bona, meaning 'good' or 'well', ajax, meaning 'next to', eek, meaning 'face' and vada, meaning 'to look'.

AF breaker stays tripped
I wired a duplex building with little assistance from a licensed electrician who would let me do it under his license.
Anyway, I wired two different circuits, one on each side of the duplex. Both circuits are for bedroom plugs which have about 13 receptacles on each circuit. I daisy chained 14-2 from the panel to the plugs and used a 15 amp arc fault breaker. These are two identical circuits, just in different units of the duplex. I got the power turned on to the building and everything worked except these two circuits so I think I must have done something wrong. Any ideAs what it could be? Why would the arc fault breaker stay tripped, is there a chance that a drywall screw may have hit the wire somewhere on both sides causing this?
Thanks in advance.
How is the breaker wired? Did you put the neutral from the circuit to the breaker and the neutral from the breaker to the neutral bar?
Other than that, it could be
Bad breaker
Bad wiring (screw thru romex, bad splice, bad backstab)
Something plugged into the circuit that has a fault.
Yes the neutral from the circuit goes to breaker and neutral on breaker goes to neutral bar.
If the breaker is tripping, and not able to be reset, then you have a short somewhere.
Which could be anything from bad splice or connection, or maybe a screw or nail is making contact with a hot or neutral wire?
Also, attaching the neutral from the new circuit to a neutral from another circuit can cause the tripping of the arc fault breaker.

Does anyone know if there is a cap or ceiling on the amount of money a spouse has; i., e., CDs, IRAs, savings, checking a surviving spouse can have to be disqualified or receive a reduced monthly amount for VA Dependent and Indemnity Compensation?
(Added): On the General Instructions for Application for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, Death Pension and Accrued Benefits by a Surviving Spouse or Child (Including Death Compensation If Applicable) VA Form 21-534. It sure has a lot of blocks and questions on assets and income. I'm know it is a dual purpose form for compensation and pension; but, does not say to SKIP any parts of income or assets for compensation (DIC) part. Still the primary reason I was asking the question.
(Added) This is on the VA Form 21-534 instruction sheet. "You can find out what the current income limitations and rates of benefits are by contacting your nearest VA regional office". It was an superfluous exercise in futility when I called my local VRO with this question.

Black on Black Crime Task Force Meeting
There may be a recent increase in gun crimes around North Central Florida, but police say there's also an increase in awareness. The Black on Black Crime Task Force met to get an update from the State Attorney's Firearm Enforcement Unit.
It's a unit comprised of 5 people plus State Attorney Bill Cervone, and has prosecuted numerous people some who say if they could shoot someone again they'd do it. The purpose of the meeting was to inform the public about who they prosecuted and make sure they stay behind bars.
Residents feel the state attorney's office is doing right by specifically getting criminals who use guns off the streets.
"These people needs to be taken down and put out of society, cause evidently they can't function and know what they're supposed to be doing," Janice Henry, East Gainesville Resident said.
Residents asked questions about the recent shootings in Village Green and In Millrun. They were told the suspect involved in the Village Green Shooting has been caught, but they say the Millrun Shooting is still under investigation.

I can't believe I'm already 7 years old today! It seems like just yesterday I was about to turn 3 and just got released from that horrible puppy mill place that kept me prisoner just to give them puppies. Then the day after my 3rd birthday these wonderful people took me to their house - which is now MY house and those wonderful people became my mom and daddy.
I owe a huge thanks first to Maryland Westie Rescue who got me out of there and to my brother Finn. He has brought me out of my shell and I'm no longer fearful of much of anything - well except really loud noises, thunderstorms and occasionally people. I even got to go to Cape May for a little Westie meet and greet and had fun barking at the other boys to keep them in line.
Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I look forward to presents and frosty paws tonight with Finnie and my big brother Rook.
Yesterday we celebrated my 5th birthday and tomorrow is my 2 year anniversary with my family. Yeah ME!
Daddy and Mom threw a party for me. It was fun, despite the fact I had to go hide with Rook for a while in the basement because of the storms. I got all kinds of great pressies - like a new bowl, a dragon, a fox, a bling charm and new dress made by my friends' Misha & Spenser's mom! Plus I got all kinds of good treats!!! I LOVE treats!
I'm well settled in my house and just adore my Daddy. I've also become really attached now to Mom - I love her too. I rarely hide when anyone comes to visit. In fact, most people I now come up and bark a good story to them and make them pet me. I'm still afraid of a few people, thunderstorms and loud noises, but for the most part I've learned people are actually nice and friendly!
Though I probably will never completely get over those first two years of my life at that nasty puppy mill, I'm pretty well adjusted (and spoiled). I love my life and love my birthday!
Well I've been here for a little over a year now -- and celebrated my first birthday ever - even though I'm now the big age of 4! Let me tell you - I rule the castle here!
My Daddy and Mom are very proud of far come in the last year. I've gone from hiding up in the bedroom when people come to the house (and let me tell you - this is one active house), to barking at them when they arrive and hanging out on the deck at night with them on card night. I'm even the best dog out of the four of us when we stay at the neighbors when Daddy & Mom go on vacation!
I've found my voice and love to use it. When Mom gets home from work (or wherever she's gone) I love to bark and bark and talk to her about my day and what the boys did. I love Christmas and everyone's birthday - as we get toys and I claim every one of them as mine! Finn & I have great fun searching the yard for critters. We've even caught a bird or two!
My new favorite thing is POPCORN! I had some for the first time last night. I wish we could have popcorn for every meal.
I am the princess of the house and not afraid to let everyone know it either (especially those dang Border Collie brothers of mine - Rook & Skyler!)! My life at the puppy mill was really bad, but my life here has made up for it a million times over, thanks to the patience of my wonderful folks and of course Finn for brining me out of my shell!
Luv to all

Test Image of Earth Sand by Mars CameraThis view of grains from a sand dune near Christmas Lake, Ore., was taken by a testing twin of the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory. The image includes three manufactured spheres; each is a 2-millimeter-diameter (0.08-inch-diameter) ball bearing, placed here to provide an independent measure of the image scale. Reflected in each sphere is the glow from the camera's four white LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
The Mars Science Laboratory mission's rover, Curiosity, will carry MAHLI at the end of the robotic arm. The mission will land the rover on Mars in August 2012.
This image has a resolution of 15.4 microns per pixel, about twice as high as the resolution possible with the close-up cameras on the arms of earlier Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. The view covers an area about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) across. At its closest-in focus, MAHLI's field of view covers an area about 2.2 by 1.7 centimeters (0.9 by 0.7 inches), with a resolution of 13.9 microns per pixel.
Geologists can examine an image like this for information about the composition of the sand. In this case, the largest white grains are pumice fragments and the dark black and gray grains are fragments of basalt. Nearly transparent, slightly yellow crystals are feldspars. The crystals and pumice were erupted by Mount Mazama in its terminal explosion about 7700 years ago; the volcano is known today as Crater Lake.
Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, supplied MAHLI for the Mars Science Laboratory mission, which is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena.

During the time of homesteading, her family attempted to settle into
farming, and met with many difficulties. Grasshoppers ate the wheat crop
one year, leaving the family with no money. Wilder's father had to leave
home in search of work. Her baby brother died, her older sister was blinded after a bout of scarlet fever. The family moved more than a dozen
times in search of a good place to farm. They settled in South Dakota (then
called Dakota Territory). Winters there were long and often brought
dangerous blizzards, cutting the family off from sources of food and fuel.
But the "Little House" stories do not dwell on the great sadnesses of Wilder's childhood, but instead on its small joys: wading in a creek, taking a trip into town, the delightful experience of eating a rare orange, and listening to "Pa" Charles Ingalls play the fiddle and sing late into the night.
Wilder was one of the first authors to show us that pioneer women were smart, skillful people who
contributed as much to the welfare of their families as did men. She was a talented woman who
did well at anything she attempted. She made enough money teaching school to send her sister to
a special college for the blind. Another time, she got a job making buttonholes for a seamstress.
Wilder sewed those buttonholes so well and so fast that she was rewarded with a huge salary--one
dollar a day!--enough to pay for herself, her husband and daughter to move to Missouri. Later on
she became a journalist, once even working as poultry editor for the St. Louis Star. At 63, when
most people think of retiring, she wrote Little House in the Big Woods. With the help of her
daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, it was published and soon became a great success.
Wilder's heroism lies in the strength and courage with which she met every challenge, and in the
lively, open way she shared her life with us. Her books make much of the fact that she was not a
perfect angel. She made mistakes, she got angry, she got in trouble. But her honesty only endears
her to readers. Few of us can read the "Little House" books without suspecting that Laura Ingalls
Wilder is not only someone we like, but someone who is like us.

A great website for fans of the "Little House" books, as well as a wonderful resource for teachers.
My hero is Laura Ingalls Wilder, because when Laura was growing up she went through a lot of bad and good things. This inspired me to read and write more because she is my favorite author.
Susannah from California writes:
"My hero is Laura Ingalls Wilder. Her book Little House in the Big Woods was the first "real" book I ever read (I was six or seven). Her books turned me into a compulsive reader and inspired me to write my own books."
Shannon from Humboldt, Kansas writes:
Laura is like a precious stone with many facets, she is determined, strong-willed, she never settles, she will sacrifice her wants and needs for others, a lover of nature and poetry, passioniate in her ideals, and a steadfast and unwavering wife, mother, Godly woman and friend. The greatest author of all time. As a child I cherished her "Little House" books, as an adult, I apreciate her as a woman, I have found many other stories, books, news articles, etc that Laura wrote during her life. "I Remember Laura" by Stephen Hines is an exceptional work dedicated to Laura and the people that knew her best. To read stories from people that were her close friends and neighbors, not fiction, but real stories, I wish that I had lived during her lifetime. We would have been soulmates, who knows maybe we are anyway. She is the best, No one can compare to her passion and zest for sharing history and the true spirit of the pioneer.

Can Apple maintain its shine?
Apple -still the world's most valuable public company- gets a chance to rebut the skeptics today as it reports financial results for the holiday quarter.
But the report could also end up confirming beliefs that the company is losing its edge as an arbiter of innovation and a pacesetter in sales growth.
For many investors, Apple's best days are behind it. Competitors are catching up, they believe, and the latest iPhone is stumbling.
The company's doubters have backed their conviction with billions of dollars. Last week, the stock fell below $500 for the first time in 11 months. Since Apple's stock peaked at $705.07 on Sept. 21 -the day of the iPhone 5's release- it has fallen nearly 30 percent, cutting Apple's market capitalization by nearly $200 billion.
Apple's perception problem centers on the iPhone. Many investors believe the company has painted itself into a corner with the high-priced gadget. The iPhone is more expensive than other smartphones that do many of the same things.

Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella is such a gallant anachronism, such a grandly unreconstructed throwback, that it offers, without ever raising its voice, a ringing cross-examination of our whole era of dark, gritty fairy-tale revisionism.
Newly remastered for Blu-ray and DVD, the classic animated adaptation of Richard Adams' beloved tale is available from Criterion.
Jesse Moss's The Overnighters is an existentially probing documentary with more layers than a twisty Hollywood thriller, at turns inspiring, challenging, sobering and finally devastating.
Selma achieves something few historical films do: It captures a sense of events unfolding in the present tense, in a political and cultural climate as complex, multifaceted and undetermined as the times we live in.
Angelina Jolie's Unbroken is an honorable movie about an inspiring true story. It is impeccably crafted, with a raft of remarkably talented people behind it. It is a celebration of the old-fashioned virtues of duty, grit, fortitude and honor. In the end, it tips its hat to faith, forgiveness and reconciliation. The film I just described is a film that, on paper, I should love.
What I can say is that The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (a title strangely stuffed with too many the's, at a time when movie titles often dispense with articles) includes — amid overinflated spectacle and cynical fan service — some of the best stuff of any of this prequel trilogy.
Propaganda and symbolism have always been a crucial weapon in the arsenal of any campaign, but their value increases exponentially in the information age. This isn't a particularly radical idea, although this may be the first time it's trickled down into a blockbuster franchise. Can you imagine Luke Skywalker making subversive videos calling out Darth Vader and coining popular slogans about fighting the Empire?
If you love art and science, and in particular if you love astrophysics, space travel and movies about them, it will be hard not to love Interstellar. By this I mean not that you will be bound to love it, but that you will take it hard if you don't. A film like Interstellar is a rare event, and if such a film falls short, it stings in a way that the day-to-day failures of conventional Hollywood fare don't.
At the intersection of Disney and Marvel, in a pan-Pacific megalopolis spanning San Francisco and Tokyo, in a world with one foot in science fiction and one in superhero adventure, is Big Hero 6. By my lights, this is a very good place to be.
When a Hollywood comedy pairs a dissolute, misanthropic curmudgeon with a cute young kid, you expect a story of redemption — particularly when the movie is called St. Vincent, and the curmudgeon's name is Vincent. When the curmudgeon played by Bill Murray, it's a done deal.
A faith-based romantic drama with a country music milieu, The Song is couched as a contemporary reimagining of the life of King Solomon, son of David.
The Boxtrolls is so defiantly weird and bleak, so committed to the bitter end to its grotesque aesthetic and chilly story, that even as the film crashes and burns you can't help being moved by the hardworking stop-motion animators' devotion to their craft.
Sometimes misleadingly described as a dark comedy, Calvary is certainly dark, and there are sporadic bits of absurdist humor. In keeping with its title, though, it really is a passion play, with Father James as an innocent victim to be sacrificed for the sins of the Church.
Sports movies love underdogs scrapping their way to the top. When the Game Stands Tall is about what happens when a ridiculously successful team finally stumbles.
Guardians is a romp, a lark — rare descriptors for a popcorn summer movie, alas, in these days of dark, grim tentpoles from Maleficent to Hercules, Edge of Tomorrow to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
With this sequel to last summer's spin-off from the franchise that descended from Pixar's Cars, the World of Cars has left behind not only stock cars, the open road, specific real-world settings and Larry the Cable Guy, but racing itself. Practically nothing is left of John Lasseter's original vision, except those blasted windshield eyeballs. In this melancholy year without Pixar, it's worse than no reminder at all.
Wait, where did this movie come from? Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is so not the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes I expected or was prepared for.
Why would a mother at the zoo throw her toddler over a railing into the moat of a lion enclosure? That's the kind of horrible question that can look very different if you are a police officer or a priest.
The first film related how Hiccup changed his village's way of life forever, winning the love of the girl of his dreams, the approval of his authoritarian father and the respect of everyone in town — not to mention the loyalty of his magnificent new draconian friend, Toothless. Where do you go from there?
The Fault in Our Stars — in cinematic as well as literary form — cares quite a bit about silly questions, such as the meaning of life and death and love and suffering in a universe sliding toward oblivion, and whether there is Something beyond giving some larger context to our existence, choices and experiences.

WHEN YOU ARE WORKING on an article about a secret government program (and you're not Woodward and Bernstein), I guess it's normal to miss one or two people. You don't like it, but it happens. Such was the case with the July 2010 article "Our Boys and the Bomb." When researching for this article, I missed Dr. Thomas W. Williams, Sr. '38, a classmate and friend of Dr. Russell Fox '38. Ironically, Dr. Fox had mentioned Dr. Williams in remarks we quoted, describing him as a fellow graduate student at the University of Virginia, but not as a fellow Hampden-Sydney alumnus. Herewith, the credit he is due.
Officially, Williams worked for Westinghouse as he developed the mass spectrometer for the detection of leaks during irradiation, but he took his orders from the Federal government. Williams told the Gazette he was uncomfortable with the military application of nuclear science and the level of secrecy within Westinghouse. "Not even the president of the company knew," said Williams. "One day he came into our lab, and even though we had an elaborate cover story to explain our set up, I couldn't stick around. I just walked out and left my assistant to do the talking." He left Westinghouse shortly after the end of the War.
Williams became a scientific adviser for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Langley Field, which would become the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). His career continued to rise as a senior-level scientist for many governmental and military agencies around Washington, D.C. He enjoyed singing and music and appeared in a number of theatrical performances in his retirement.
Many Hampden-Sydney alumni have gone on to do extraordinary things. Dr. Williams and his fellow Tigers in The Manhattan Project stand out among the crowd for their mastery of science, devotion to their work, and duty to our country.

Hudson - The Community of Saint John completed its second quarter outreach ministry with the blessing of more than 50 knitted and
crocheted baby blankets, peace shawls, infant caps and scarves, and the presentation of a check for women4women-knitting4peace. The knitted items were blessed during CoSJ's service in June, as part of their "Invite A Friend" Sunday event.
Each quarter The Community of Saint John adopts a project for their outreach ministry. For this quarter's project, members got involved either in the knitting process, or by donating yarn, knitting needles and other supplies to move the project along. A cash donation representing 10 percent of CoSJ's quarterly collections is included as part of every service project. The Community was able to present a check for $2,600, which was given to the founders of the women4women-knitting4peace organization at a presentation ceremony in Chautauqua, New York.
"This is an ongoing outreach ministry for us, because there is an ongoing need," said Sheila Wallace, one of the team leaders for the project. "The items blessed represent the work of many of our members and friends over the course of several months. We welcome anyone who would like to participate as part of our 'Peace Pod' either by knitting on their own or joining us to 'knit-n-sip' at a member's home."
CoSJ Peace Pod meetings are the last Tuesday of the month. Details can be found on The Community of Saint John website or Facebook page.
Women4women-knitting4peace provides warmth and comfort for the world.
The grass-roots organization is dedicated to crafting hope, healing and peace one stitch at a time. Since their founding in 2006, the organization has created over 42,583 items, delivered to 55 countries around the world. Peace Pods are local groups who gather to knit and pray together. More information about the group can be found on their website: www.knitting4peace.org.

The New York Times on Home Made PIZZA
Will this make pizza at home a phenomena like the no-knead bread article?
The recipe is at the bottom. The video is worth watching just to see how the man makes the pizzas.
Interestingly enough, it involves overnight retarding of the dough and recommends the use of 00 flour for a portion of the dough.

Ups -- Mathematica notebooks have no footnotes,
a small program that scan all Cell[_,"Section"], Cell[_"Subsection"]
will create a table of contents but with out page numbers
very useful;-) but it may setup hyperlinks.
(A a page number is generated only for the print out environment
and in the notebook itself is no reference to the actual
"page number" in it is hidden in the PrintOptions[] as Counter["Page"]
and you can't find out from a Cell[] on what page it is printed.)
You can make a inline graphics cell
"Here is a text with a figure ",
Cell[GraphicsData["PostScript", "\<\
%%Creator: Mathematica
%%AspectRatio: .61803
% End of Graphics
\>"], "Graphics",
ImageSize->{288, 177.938},
ImageMargins->{{0, 0}, {0, 0}},
ImageRegion->{{0, 1}, {0, 1}}]
}], "Text"]
But a cell is equivalent to the horizontal mode of TeX and
so there will be no flow arround.
I have seen d PhD thesis written in notebook format and
it looks very lousy (it was a Math 3.0 notebook).

Since you must edit the exported TeX file it is

This is a discussion on The Gun Is Civilization within the Home (And Away From Home) Defense Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; THIS IS THE BEST WORDED PRO-GUN ARGUMENT I HAVE EVER READ. "The Gun Is Civilization" Interesting take and one you don't hear much. . . ...
"The Gun Is Civilization"
Interesting take and one you don't hear much. . . . . .
As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL Gun Ban,
I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine)
that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.
Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter....
"The Gun Is Civilization" by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force.
If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.
People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.
It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.
By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.
Glock G22 .40 Cal.
It is a nice article but applies only within a certain scope. An armed smaller person against an unarmed larger person, one armed person against multiple unarmed persons. As soon as the other persons are armed, especially in numbers, it no longer holds true.
This was actually written by Marko Kloos, an author who also has a blog called "The Munchkin Wrangler".
Lots of words of wisdom. It can all be summed up with the title and little more in the way of explanation. It is rather plain and simple.The Gun Is Civilization
Great final sentence..."So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced."
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

I love the article, I respectfully disagree with the analogy though "The Gun is Civilization", no one thing is civilization. The gun might keep civilization on a equal footing, that I will can concur with.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
"An armed society is a polite society"

Retired USAF E-8. Curmudgeon at large.
Lighten up and enjoy life because:
Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Nice article. It presents the argument well and I agree with the overall message.
I do have an issue with the fact that he seems to equate reason and persuasion (since he uses them interchangeably in the first three paragraphs). There are many ways to persuade, but reason is only one. Emotional appeals such as, "Loan me some money. Come on, I'm your brother. Don't you love me?" are strong methods of persuasion and definitely do not rely on reason.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
