Yet, while Stewart's knack overwhelms and frightens me (Unfrozen Caveman Blogger?), I also want her power: her oft-lauded ability to organize, design, and prettify. Because? Occasionally? I crave matching blue toile napkins. I need to spread silver-embossed sugar beads on my immaculately-leveled, seafoam-green cake fondant. I MUST align my freshly-picked gladiolus centerpiece with the beachgrass placemats I've woven with my antique Colonial loom.
Don't get me wrong - I adore my ramshackle 110-year-old apartment building and Rancor table decorations, but sometimes a lady's gotta stop swilling Brooklyn Lager for a sec and lose herself in monogrammed Hamptonian dreams.
That's why, when Miss S. publishes cookbooks like Everyday Food, I secretly go nuts. All of a sudden, without resorting to Marthabduction, her authority and competence are in my grasp. Take the Black-Eyed Pea Salad, for example. It's healthy, soul-fulfilling, and gorgeous to gaze at, like an edible Norman Rockwell painting. Actually, it won't cost nearly as much, so maybe it's more like a Rockwell first draft. Either way, it will make you think, "Wow. I'm awesome."
Things to know:
1) Like EF's Turkey Burgers from earlier in the week, these servings dwarf most mountain ranges. The salad will make six sides (instead of four) pretty easily, especially if you have kids. It'd knock the calculations down to about 136 calories, 4 g fat, and $0.60 per person, too.
2) I cut the oil and vinegar by a quarter, which didn't affect the taste and saved a few grams of fat.
3) This takes about ten seconds to assemble.
Even if it's not this salad, I encourage readers to indulge your inner Martha, if only for a single meal. Because, while a constant stream of handmade gift wrap and artisanal clay garden gnomes might be too much, they're pretty darn satisfying in small doses.

Hi !
I find a SMTP server that allows sending spam throw socks5 the the server is now on the blacklist ( dsbl.org ). I wood like too know howto send mail trow a server like this. I am trying to send email to myself a server that do not use the blacklist.
I have tried mozilla-thunderbird that supports socks5 but it gives me
relay denied and I have also tried tsocks mailto but then the mail only end up
in my own mailq.
Is there a program that delivers mail direct that can bee used with sock5 or tsocks?
The blacked list server runs a smtp server and a sock5 in the same computer.
/ capron
tsocks telnet smtp-server -> works
torify telnet smtp-server -> Error 111 Connection refused "i guess my torify is wrong configured."
I still wood like to know about a more automatic program under linux doing this. Sending a anonymous mail with pictures wood be to much work. I know I sound like a spammer but fighting spam by hiding how it is done is not that effective.

Almost half of 1,305 respondents said verbal abuse is common where they work, according to a survey by New York consulting firm Integra Realty Resources. And 29% of workers admit that they have yelled at co-workers, says the American Management Association.
What's the best way to handle a bully? Most people simply leave, researcher Pamela Lutgen-Sandvick recently told Gannett News Service. But that only strips the workplace of its best talent. The best tactic: Stand up to them.
Standing up takes planning and preparation, since bullies can be manipulative and sneaky, says Lutgen-Sandvick, an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico and an expert in workplace bullying. Her advice:
• Gather support. You'll be more likely to gain management's attention if you're speaking as a group.
• Write down every bullying incident. Then compile a list of the costs of bullying: increased turnover, the loss of talented workers, lost productivity and absenteeism. Provide specific statistics to make your case to management.
Here's one statistic you can use: In a survey of 9,000 federal employees in 2002, 42% of female and 15% of male employees reported being harassed within a two-year period, resulting in more than $180 million in lost time and productivity.
• Be factual, when recounting incidents. A calm, detached incident report will help managers see the bullying pattern more clearly.

Lillian Roth at 67
Today is the birthday of Star of Vaudeville # 91: Lillian Roth (1910-1980) (for more on her and her vaudeville beginnings go here). I've seen more of her films since my earlier posts — I have to say she is one of the most charming starlets ever to be in pictures. Reasonably talented, too, but her charm truly sells it. Unfortunately, starting with her 1954 autobiography I'll Cry Tomorrow and the campy melodramatic film version the following year starring Susan Hayward, all the attention she got going forward was related to her alcohol problem. Roth was one of the first Hollywood people to go public as an alcoholic. And she wasn't just a drunk – -when she bottomed out it was all the way down (use your imagination). Still, she was and always will be a star.
The attached interview, from 1977, is atrocious. At one point, interviewer Bill Boggs quips that a nurse who introduced Roth to booze should be sued for "ex post facto malpractice", though the purpose it had been used for was a legitimate one. On the other hand, Boggs DEFINITELY should be sued for malpractice for conducting such a shoddy, craven interview, ghoulishly dwelling on only the negative aspects of Roth's life, probing her wounds with a dull scalpel. At one point he asks her, "Do you have any friends?" It isn't until 10 minutes into the 18 minute interview that we hear anything good about her wonderful career – – a 30 second tour through her scrapbook, before we return to another 7 minutes on her substance abuse. The main reason I enjoy watching this clip, is that every ounce of her charm (and confidence apparently) is still there. Roth sits there and absorbs this hideous drubbing on live New York television and treats it like so much…attention. Well, there you go. It's a crazy business we're in. We're putting the camera at substance abusers more than ever for entertainment these days. How much better to point them at singers, dancers, actors, and comedians.

Monkey escapes enclosure, roams through Sanford neighborhood
SANFORD, Fla. - A 4-year-old monkey that escaped from its cage early Sunday afternoon was caught by its owner after roaming a Sanford neighborhood for hours.
At least three streets were closed as police officers, animal control officers and friends of the owner tried to capture the animal.
Sanford police told WFTV the animal bit a neighbor.
Zeke, a pigtail macaque, tore through two layers of chain-link fencing to escape, said its owner, Jeff Jacques.
A neighbor, Jason Diel, said Zeke was friendly to him initially, but then became aggressive.
"He came up and tried to bite my arm," said Diel.
Another neighbor, Samuel Boyleston said, "Once I kicked it, I figured it would back off or come at me. Honestly, I was afraid for my life at one point. I've seen enough news stories of monkeys doing serious damage."
Zeke jumped onto the roof of a police car, scaled a house and ran across a roof as people tried to catch him.
He later retreated into some woods.
Jacques drove through the neighborhood in his truck and the monkey came out and returned to his owner.
This is not the first time Zeke has escaped. Back in February, the monkey managed to break free of his enclosure.
Jacques told WFTV that because Zeke is "extremely strong and getting stronger," he will most likely be sent to a local animal refuge.
Police said the owner is licensed to have the animal, but it is not known if he will be fined for the escape.

Sheriff Expects Deputies to Be Disciplined in Jail Escape
Several Monroe County jail deputies could be in trouble. Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn expects that deputies on duty when two inmates escaped back in March will be disciplined. O'Flynn spoke out for the first time Monday about a scathing report on the escape by The New York State Commission of Corrections. "Obviously this is not a very proud moment when you have something like this occur," said O'Flynn.
The 56 page report accuses jail deputies of failing to do mandatory inspections and giving inmates special treatment. "I just feel they made some assumptions and connected some dots that shouldn't be connected. The conspiracys and that kind of thing that were going on did not occur," said O'Flynn. The report claims deputies could have prevented the escape if they would have followed procedure. "We're housing close to 15-hundred inmates and it is one of the facilities that the commission themselves use for an example on how to do the job," said O'Flynn.
Monroe County Legislator Willie Lightfoot is on The Public Safety Committee and wants to meet with Sheriff O'Flynn to discuss the report. "A lot of people have concerns that there were improper things going on in Monroe County Jail," said Lightfoot. " We need to take it very seriously and do the proper things to make sure our jail is as safe as it's supposed to be and the people serving are getting the service they need." O'Flynn says they are following 17 of 19 recommendations. They've started a major construction project to move the deputy station to a more central location in the jail. They have also changed visiting policies. "Overall we are addressing the problems and making sure this is a good quality place and a place that I'm proud of," said O'Flynn. The department will complete its investigation by January.

Sheehan Serves as NWF Campus Ecology Fellow
Posted by Brittany Grady '17, Kaiserslautern on Friday, Aug. 15, 2014
For the last year University of Minnesota, Morris student Tim Sheehan '16, Minneapolis, has served as a National Wildlife Federation (NWF) Campus Ecology Fellow. One of three New Energy Solutions Fellows in the United States, Sheehan has worked to increase climate literacy and clean energy usage in Minnesota.
"Originally, I took the position because I hoped it would give me insight into my personal interests and what it might be like to integrate sustainability into a career," he says.
The goal of the fellowship was to work with partners to increase the Renewable Energy Standard (RES) in Minnesota to 40 percent renewable energy by 2030, part of the Minnesota Clean Energy and Jobs Campaign. To do so, Sheehan partnered with Clean Up the River Environment (CURE) and Minnesota Public Research Interest Group (MPIRG). According to him, one outcome of this effort included Governor Mark Dayton signing into law a solar energy standard of 1.5 percent by 2020 for investor-owned utilities, with a statewide goal of 10 percent by 2030.
"The fellowship was a great experience," Sheehan says. "Several relationships were fostered this year, and thanks to the NWF, we had the resources to start some really interesting and influential groups. I hope to be able to do more next year."
The National Wildlife Federation is a voice for wildlife, dedicated to protecting wildlife and habitat and inspiring the future generation of conservationists. More information is available at nwf.org.

my pomchi is in heat and now she's acting all spaztick. other than getting her fixed, how can I get her to chill out?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
You don't have to worry about your female here, nor her being a spazz. It's matings and accidental litters that are the main concern to other owners when their dog goes into heat. Her energy is not dangerous to her while she is in season, but getting pregnant and having puppies without you knowing she is about to have puppies until it's too late is. It is clear you do not want to spay her and that is okay. To prevent a litter from resulting purchase anti-mating spray (Yes they make that.) and keep a very close eye on her when walking her. If you take her to the dog park, I would reccomend holding out until she goes out of heat. It will make a difference in how spastic she is acting.
Hope this helps!

6. Slip stitch the opening closed.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 with the knot piece.
8. Fold the Bow Tie piece in half and sew along the dotted lines marked on your pattern.
9. Open out the ends and bring the seam to the middle forming a loop.
10. Lay the bow flat so that the seam is in the middle of the back loop.

12. Wrap the knot around the bowtie and stitch it closed in the back.
13. Pinch out the edges and fluff to get a lovely bow shape!
14. Slide the band through the back of the knot. Now it's time to make your buttonholes and sew on your button. Measure the band around your neck and mark where you want the holes and buttons to be. Insert both using the settings on your own machine.
That's it, you've got a fabulous bow tie for gifting or for yourself! This project is perfect for scrap busting. You can even try combining two fabrics for a really fun look.

Removing Paint
Hi everyone,
First time poster here.
Well the title says it:
I'm attempting to remove the paint in my bathroom. It's a small room. It seems the naked wall (concrete, I think) has been painted twice. Now I'm not very good at stuff like this and do not have much experience. To be honest I thought there was a layer of wall paper beneath the paint, but there isn't.
Because I thought this, I purchased a sort of scraper (sorry, English is not my first language and I do not know the word in English), basically a stick with a long, horizontally placed blade at the end for scraping off wallpaper.
I did not get a steamer because the guy at the store said, seeing as it was so small a room, I should be able to moisten the wallpaper just by switching on the hot water and closing the door for 10 minutes... So far no real success. I've managed to scrape off some of the paint, but it is very, very hard work and small chunks of the wall are coming out as well...
My question is: how do I best get this paint off of my naked wall? Do I just need to buckle down and keep scraping? And if so would it help to use a steamer to loosen the paint? (Remember there is no wallpaper). Or is there some kind of chemical way to remove the paint?
Many thanks and best regards,
Welocme Martin. Why do you need to remove the paint?
Well it's slightly complicated, but here goes:
I moved in to the appartment a few years ago. I decided I wanted to paint the bathroom. So I bought some wet-room-paint (direct translation here, probably not what it's called in English, but special paint used in rooms where the paint is liable to get wet frequently), and started painting. I had finished one wall and started on the next when noticed with dismay that the paint on the first wall was already starting to come loose and peel off along with the layer of paint underneath. It seemed the original layer of paint wasn't very capable of handling being painted on again.
So, for a few years, out of lethargy more than anything, I just didn't bother with it. But now I've decided I want to paint the whole room and seeing as last time I painted on the already painted wall it started to peel off (only on some parts of the wall - the area beneath and around the shower head), I deduced that I would need to remove all of the paint before starting painting a fresh coat.
It sounds like, for whatever reason, the new paint is activating the layer underneath. It may be that the water in the new paint is penetrating and causing problems somehow. I would buy a quart of oil based primer, try Zinsser Cover Stain. Apply that to a sample area to see if you get different results. I think that you will, and it will save you a lot of headache.
Thanks for the advice :)
Just to make sure I understand you:
I should buy some primer and apply it to where the old paint started to come loose to begin with, then let it sit for a while to see if the same thing happens... If nothing happens and the primer stays then buy some more primer and apply that to the whole room and then a fresh layer of paint can be added subsequently?
Sorry if it is banal, but I want to make sure I understand you correctly :)
Kind regards,
I too think a oil primer will work.

How do you write a personal statement for a college scholarship?
The personal statement is basically a way for you to discuss why you should get the scholarship. Choose a personal experience that relates to an academic-related positive character trait (hard-working, for example) and elaborate on how your experience affected you.
Also, make sure to include your personal "voice" when writing the statement. The essays written for english are often impersonal literary discussions, which is not the type of writing you want here. Make your paper interesting to read.
Marth is correct.
And if you need more information, be sure to read and study these sites:

AS charges of disloyalty are brought against such prominent Americans as the head of the Bureau of Standards, and as unnaturalized aliens accused of subversive Communist activities are seized for deportations, many thoughtful citizens wonder if the country is entering upon another "Red scare."

You gave a specific scenario and asked how we would prepare for this scenario as far as the type of firearm we would choose to carry. The problem is that it could be a completely different scenario unfolding, which may change our choice of firearm, or even a different situation from the first two. And so on. The point is that we have no way of knowing what will happen on any given day, and we cannot possibly prepare for all possible contingencies. So, the best we can do is be completely familiar and proficient with whatever we carry, try to always have spare ammunition available for quick reloads, should it become necessary, and have the mindset that will give us the clear head we would need to get out of any such situation alive. Proficiency and mindset will trump firearm choice every time.
I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it represents the reality that we must all live by.
If they were already shooting at people that is a different story. but what is given from the OP, I'm not exactly cool hand Luke and those three "baddies" are likely placed in unfavorable locations that would allow at least one to fire a few times and injure anyone there so again I would not unless they shot first.
Ok, I'll play...
My Glock 19 with a G17 mag as a spare. Why? In short because it is the pistol/caliber that I have invested the most time in, running it hard through many training classes. I can accurately put more rounds on target faster with the G19 than any of the other pistols currently at my disposal. I have confidence in it and my abilities with it.
The answer to this is simple....whatever I'm carrying at the time.

Important Information About Auto Accidents
Even good drivers can be involved in an auto accident. If this happens, it's important to know what to do both at the scene of the accident and immediately afterwards.
- Stay calm. Even a slight fender-bender can cause frayed nerves and tense moments, but yelling at the other driver won't resolve anything. Never leave the scene of the accident.
- Determine if anyone is injured and if so, seek medical assistance. Until help comes, do all you can to help the injured, but be careful. Unless you are proficient at rendering first aid, don't try it. You may make matters worse.
- Contact the police. There is a duty to notify police in the fastest means possible of an accident, which involves injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500 in value. The police will investigate the accident and make a report, which may be helpful later if you are sued, or if you decide to sue someone else.
- Obtain information from the other driver and any witnesses. The Illinois motor vehicle law requires the driver of any vehicle involved in an accident to give a name, address, and the license number of the vehicle being driven to the other party. If requested, the driver must show his driver's license. Leaving the scene without furnishing such information may subject you to criminal prosecution. A driver who strikes an unattended motor vehicle also is responsible for locating the vehicle's owner to exchange information, or should leave written information in a conspicuous place for the owner to find upon his/her return to the vehicle.
- Volunteer no more information than the law requires. You may discover later that the other driver was equally or more to blame. Make notes of important aspects of the collision to help you remember them. Diagram the exact position of the vehicles before and after the accident. If you have any doubt about your own condition or that of the passengers, see your doctor and ask your passengers to do likewise.
- The next step is to notify your insurance company and file an accident report within ten days after the accident. Failure to do so may cause you to lose your driver's license. Your insurance company may also refuse to pay any money to you or to protect you if others make a claim against you. You should promptly respond to any reasonable request for documents, such as medical and repair bills, a copy of the police report, etc.
An arrest does not necessarily indicate liability for the accident. However, a statement of guilt or plea of guilty to a traffic ticket may be used as an admission. Receiving a ticket is an arrest.
If a person loses work, sustains injuries or has other losses, he or she may be entitled to reimbursement under his or her insurance policy or from the other party. Awarding monetary damages is the law's method of putting the wrongfully injured party, as closely as possible, into a position equal to that position before the injury. If a driver is in the right, he or she may be entitled to recover money for the injuries, pain and suffering, disability, reasonable expenses resulting from the injury, loss of income and value of damage to the property.
Consult with an attorney. A driver involved in an accident should ignore any attempt by a representative of the other party to influence him or her. Also, be aware of any attorney or someone claiming to be an attorney who requests to handle your case. Solicitation of business is an unethical practice in the profession.

Brantley Says Bowl Game Is Still Important
Published November 15th, 2011
The 5-5 record held by the Florida Gator football team might not be what senior quarterback John Brantley envisioned for his final year at Florida, but the next win is still important to the Ocala native. A sixth win would mean the Gators are bowl eligible for the 21st-straight year, dating back to Steve Spurrier's second season as head coach of the Gators. The former Jeffrey Meldon TV20 scholar athlete of the year doesn't want that streak to end on his watch.

Pressing the Mississippi DOH
With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention visiting Jackson, Mississippi this week, AIDS advocates took the opportunity to slam the Mississippi Department of Health (DOH) for inadequately addressing the AIDS epidemic in Mississippi. Most recently, the DOH, led by AIDS Director Craig Thompson, failed to apply for essential CDC prevention funding for men who have sex with men.
AIDS Action in Mississippi (AAIM), the Mississippi ACLU, My Brother's Keeper and concerned people with HIV/AIDS held a press conference yesterday to decry the actions of the Mississippi Department of Health, and will hold a demonstration today, marching from My Brother's Keeper's headquarters to the Health Department offices.
As the Update reported, State AIDS Director Craig Thompson failed to apply for a grant for HIV prevention for MSM, despite the fact that according to the CDC's 2007 report, 29 percent of new infections in Mississippi are among MSM. This number is just an estimate because Mississippi doesn't specifically track infections among MSM. Thompson didn't even inform the Prevention Planning Group about this grant because, he said, the grant, "wasn't applicable to us." Hear Thompson's entire explanation to the PPG. The $4 million grant, Funding Opportunities Announcement number (FOA) 04012, could have given Mississippi $80,000 in much-needed prevention dollars.
"While this action is outrageous, it unfortunately wasn't surprising," AAIM Field Organizer Valencia Robinson told the Update. "This represents a pattern of neglect by Craig Thompson and the Health Department not best addressing the epidemic." Robinson called on the Health Department to directly address the needs of MSMs in Mississippi including identifying providers that can provide appropriate services, applying for funding to provide these services, and open community meetings that allow for maximum community input.
"The decision to ignore an opportunity to apply for funds specifically earmarked for an admittedly at-risk community due to fear or public disapproval is intolerable," said Nsombi Lambright, executive director of the ACLU of Mississippi. The press conference was covered in The Clarion-Ledger, and all Jackson radio stations.
After finding out that the DOH didn't apply for critical funding, My Brother's Keeper President and CEO Mark Colomb sent a Freedom of Information Act request for the CDC's HIV/AIDS investigation in Mississippi in the Spring 2008. The DOH responded that the CDC requested that it not release it until it is published later this year.
The Mississippi Health Department did not reply the Update's request for comment.

Early Developments
Paganism has many roots the world over, including the largely prehistoric practices of the Proto-Indo-European people.
Schisms and Sects
When humankind began to write, sacred myths were recorded, with each distinct culture preserving its own set of stories about the gods and goddesses.
Missions and Expansion
Throughout ancient Europe, Paganism evolved into a variety of forms, adapting itself to local regions and venerating gods and goddesses anchored in specific places.
Exploration and Conquest
The story of Paganism in the context of empire, particularly the Roman Empire, is not so much a story of conquest as a story of ultimately being conquered.
Modern Age
Combining vestigial Paganism and modernist sensibilities, key figures like Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente revived (or, recreated) nature spirituality for their time.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
When was he neutered? If it was recently, you need to take him back to the vet. He could have complications. Dogs will put on some weight when they've been neutered. They are not consumed with worrying about females anymore. If it's not complications, and If he's over weight, then you need to cut his food back. Try finding something he likes to do like playing fetch, swimming or hide and seek with treats or toys. Good Luck!

|Channel Design for Soil and Water Conservation
Channel Design for Soil and Water Conservation
Proposed by Stillwater Outdoor Hydraulic Laboratory
For Full Text and Examples Click Here
Q -Rate of discharge or flow in cubic meters per second.
A - Cross-sectional area of the flow in square meters.
V - Velocity of flow (mean) in meters per second.
n - Coefficient of retardance used in flow formulas.
R - Hydraulic radius in meters. It is the cross-sectional area A divided by the wetted perimeter.
S - Slope of energy gradient in meters per meter. d - Depth of flow in meters.
D - Depth of channel in meters after freeboard is added.
t - Width of water surface when the water is at depth d.
z - Side slope- ratio of horizontal to vertical.
b - Bottom width of a trapezoidal channel in meters.
Character of Flow
Flow in conservation channels is turbulent. Turbulence exists when the direction and magnitude of the velocity at any point within a fluid varies irregularly with time. Considerable energy may be expended in this action.
The velocity V, as computed from Q/A or estimated from flow formulas, is the mean velocity of all components parallel to the axis of the channel. These velocity components in any vertical section range from a maximum near the surface to zero at the bed. With vegetation, the velocity distribution from surface to bed may be very nonuniform, increasingly so as the cover becomes taller, stiffer, and "bunchier."
In vegetation-lined channels, there are wide differences in velocity throughout a cross section. The water at the edges of the channel will be flowing through the vegetation at low velocities. In the deeper portions of the channel, where the vegetation has been bent over and submerged, resistance to flow will be less and velocities will be higher, the least resistance will be encountered where the flow is deepest. The velocity V, as ordinarily determined, is the mean for the entire cross section. It is apparent that channel shape affects velocity distribution. For the same mean velocity, the maximum velocity in the center of a triangular channel could be much higher than in a trapezoidal or parabolic channel. For this reason, a reduction in permissible velocities with triangular channels is desirable.
Flow in field channels lined with vegetation generally has a rough water surface. The more irregular the bed and vegetal growth and the higher the velocity, the greater is the surface roughness. The amount of aeration is also dependent upon these factors. A freeboard (vertical distance from the maximum water surface to the channel berm) allows for these conditions as well as for differences between estimated and actual discharge and capacity. Freeboards of 0.15 meter are commonly used for vegetation-lined channels.
Estimating Velocity
The design of conservation channels will be based on a mean velocity determined from the Manning formula:
V=(1/n)R^(2/3) *S^(1/2)
The Manning formula will apply to uniform flow in channels. In designing ordinary vegetation-lined channels, this condition of uniform flow can be assumed to exist. For some steep channels and all channels with artificial linings (example: concrete, sheet metal, wood), careful. Consideration must be given to (1) inlet and outlet design and their effect on the flow in the channel, (2) changes in grade and alignment, and (3) changes in cross-sectional shape.
Stability of Channels
Stability of Vegetation-Lined Channels
Vegetation protects the channel by reducing the velocity near the bed.
Dense stands of long-stemmed vegetations will produce deep mats, and velocities will be low in these vegetal zones. It follows a uniform; sod-forming vegetation having a dense, relatively deep root system will offer the greatest protection against scour. However, consideration must be given to the ability of vegetation to reassume its normal growing position and withstand and recover from excessive deposition. Bermuda grass possesses these properties and, as known by experience, is one of the best covers to use.
(a) Uniformity of cover is extremely important. The stability of a sparsely covered area is the stability of the entire channel.
(b) In construction, if practical, the topsoil should be preserved and replaced, particularly over the center portion of the channel where the flow will be deepest.
(c) Fertilization and proper soil preparation should be done on newly constructed channels to insure rapid growth.
(d) Maintenance by mowing or controlled grazing will help to assure continuance of the desired density and uniformity of cover.
(e) Timely repair of eroded areas and protection against damage by rodents cannot be stressed too highly.
(f) Control of deposition is the first. Consideration of the technician when designing the channel and selecting the cover. Bunchgrasses and open covers like alfalfa, kudzu, etc., offer less retardance to low-silting flows than sod covers. Keeping covers short will reduce deposition. Wide, flat trapezoidal channels will be the most difficult to maintain from the deposition standpoint. Parabolic and triangular sections are less subject to deposition. (Unless side slopes are 6:1. or flatter, triangular sections are generally not recommended because of the undesirable velocity distribution.)
(g) If possible, keep water diverted from the channel until vegetation is well established.
To serve in designing earth channels to be lined with vegetation, permissible velocities have been determined experimentally for many different covers. Prime factors determining permissible velocities are:
(a) Physical nature of vegetation (type and distribution of root growth and top growth and physical condition), (b) erodibility of soil, (c) uniformity of cover, and (d) bed slope.
Flow disturbances grow in severity with increase in bed slope. The ability of vegetation to provide adequate protection decreases with increase in slope.
Design of Bare and other Nonvegetal Channels
The application of the Manning formula to hard-surfaced channels of concrete, sheet metal, wood, etc., and to earth channels free of bottom vegetation is straightforward. For the former, n can usually be assumed as constant for a given type of lining irrespective of the slope and shape of channel and depth of flow. For earth channels with bank vegetation, the selection of n for the smaller channels must be based on the width of the water surface, since some bank vegetation partially submerged has a relatively greater retarding effect in narrow channels. Table 1 contains values of Manning's n for common hard-surfaced linings and various conditions of earth channels.
Design of Vegetation-Lined Channels
The various vegetations for which experimental n-VR relationships are available are classified in table 4 according to their degree of retardance, When a cover can be expected to be significantly shorter or much less dense than that described in the Mole, use the next lower degree of retardance in estimating capacity.
Above some minimum level of cover density, the tallness of the vegetation overshadows the effect of differences in density on retardance.
For these conditions, only limitations as to tallness and to density conditions need be considered. Except for very sparse coverage, table 5 may be used to judge the degree of retardance.
The design of vegetation-lined channels requires that n be compatible with the value of VR. To accomplish this easily, graphical solutions of the Manning formula that apply to the five degrees of retardance, A, B, C, D, and E are presented in figures 14 to 18. These apply to flow with the vegetation completely submerged or nearly so. For shallow flow through upright vegetation with no submergence, Manning's n ceases to be related to VR. Some results of low-flow studies have been reported in the Transactions of the American Geophysical Union (April 1946
To aid in channel design, graphical solutions of dimensions of trapezoidal (side slopes l:l, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:l, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, and 6:1), triangular, and parabolic channels are included in figures 2 to
Complete examples for using the graphical solutions are presented in subsequent sections.
The parabolic channel, offering distinct advantages for control Of scour and deposition, deserves explanation. Most natural channels tend to assume this shape. The parabolic channel is defined by d = k(t/2)2, where d is the depth, t the width at depth d, and k is a shape constant.
As soon as d and t have been determined for maximum flow (from fig. II), k is automatically evaluated (a fixed point on the pivot line in fig. 12). It remains constant for the parabolic channel in question. Other combinations of depth and width for that channel must give the same value of k.
To determine other values of t and d use the nomograph in figure 12. A specific parabolic channel will have only one intersection point on the pivot line. When this is located by a straight line through the d and t for maximum flow, it serves as a pivot point that allows width to be readily determined for any other depth. In the example illustrated on the nomograph, the maximum flow was at a depth of 0.59 meters and top width of 9.8 meters. A 0.15-m&w freeboard required a total depth of 0.74 meters. The top width at this depth is graphically determined to be 10.7 meters.
As an aid in judging the shape of the channel, a side-slope line is incorporated in the nomograph in figure 12. Extension of a line through a specific pivot point to this slope scale gives the approximate side slope at the depth being considered. In an initial design, a check of the side slope at maximum depth is recommended so as to assume that a steep, impractical shape is not being selected.
The triangular and, particularly, the trapezoidal cross sections will not maintain their shape as well as the parabolic under ordinary conditions of intermittent runoff. In fact, the trapezoidal and triangular sections tend to become parabolic in shape, due to the normal actions of channel flow, deposition, and bank erosion.
The parabolic cross section approximates the cross-sectional shape naturally assumed by many old channels. For conservation channels, this appears to be a very desirable, combining most of the strong points, with none of the undesirable characteristics of any other shape.

The financial newspapers have covered this (here and here) and The Firm has an interesting discussion on this. The income tax authorities have sought to challenge the valuation on which certain Indian companies have issued shares to their foreign parents. While the shares were previously issued based on the erstwhile formulation adopted by the Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) that was applicable in the past, the tax authorities appear to have challenged that and instead imposed a higher valuation on the basis of the discounted cash flow (DCF) method that is now applicable to unlisted companies. The difference between the notional value and the actual value is treated as a loan by the foreign parent to the Indian subsidiary on which tax is now levied.
It is understood that the amounts involved are quite substantial, and this issue could lead to prolonged litigation. It might also possibly have an adverse impact on the sentiment pertaining to foreign direct investment (FDI) in India.
The phenomenon of recharacterising equity into debt poses some concerns from a legal perspective. Such a recharacterisation is not novel in the India context. The FDI policy treats any optionally convertible instrument as debt and therefore outside the purview of FDI and consequently within the external commercial borrowings (ECB) regime. Similarly, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had been treating foreign equity investments accompanied by put or call options as debt under the ECB policy. The regulator's role has only been further enhanced in bringing about such a recharacterisation.

The advent of EHR software and the requirements to meet meaningful use have spurred a greater focus on the use of standardized code sets earlier in the patient care cycle. Rather than jotting down COPD in a patient's past medical history, providers are now selecting 496 Chronic Airway Obstruction from a drop down list. As the stages of meaningful use progress, and providers become more familiar with various code sets it's likely they will increasingly rely on them when searching the web.
With these things in mind, healthcare providers posting content online in reference to specific conditions and/or procedures may find value in coding their blog posts by adding ICD-9, CPT, DSM, NDC, HCPCS, LOINC codes, etc. as tags and/or categories.
Three reasons to code posts:
Helps others find your content.
- With the global push toward electronic health records and increasing focus on structured data as a means of facilitating data exchange between disparate systems more providers and provider agents are searching the web using diagnosis, procedure, lab, and medication codes. For example: It's easier to copy and paste a CPT code from an EHR into a Google search rather than attempt to accurately spell, Laparoscopy, surgical, myomectomy. Posted content including the CPT code in the text and/or associated as a tag or category is more likely to be found.
Helps you find your own content.
- By attaching standard codes to posts in the form of categories and/or tags it is possible to create subsets of content which may be converted into tag clouds or unique URL's including all posts that contain specific codes or combinations of codes. WordPress allows its users to add a category name at the end of a blog URL to filter posts by that category alone. Example: A URL for all blog posts on this site associated with a category for congestive heart failure would look like this: http://digitalhealthcom.com/category/428
Helps curation and/or data conversion services find and move content.
- When the time comes to gather blog posts to be imported into a curation framework or content management system, data migration engineers will be looking for reliable keys for parsing data. Standard codes sets attached to text make it much easier to know what to move and where to put it. For example: As meaningful use phase two approaches and electronic patient instructional/educational materials increase in use, existing blog content might prove helpful for re-direction to patients once it has been imported into a certified EHR software and attached to a chart.

- //Benny Goodman
The 14 tracks on this remastered collection of Benny Goodman classics recorded between 1935 and 1939 contain many of the highlights of the group's recordings for the RCA Victor label. If someone just wants a representative sample of the Goodman Big Band in their collection or has never listened to Goodman, this is an excellent place to start. For anyone serious about swing music or Goodman, this small sampling just won't be enough.
Goodman organized his first band in 1932 and the second (which is the one featured on these recordings) in 1934. This group played on NBC's "Let's Dance" radio show and toured without getting much attention. Suddenly, in August 1935, the group caught on fire during their stay at L.A.'s Palomar Ballroom. From then on, Goodman and his band were like rock stars, attracting legions of screaming young women and dancing men wherever they appeared.
Benny Goodman
The King of Swing (Bluebird's Best)
(Bluebird's Best)
US: 5 Mar 2002
The King of Swing gives an excellent overview of the many arrangers Goodman used during his band's classic years, giving them a distinctive and polished sound. Fletcher Henderson provided a swinging update to Jelly Roll Morton's "King Porter Stomp", highlighting the winsome trumpet sound of Bunny Berigan, a swinging sax section that included tenor player Art Rollini, and, of course, Goodman himself, relaxed and amiable in a swinging solo turn. Goodman is not generally thought to be the big band era's very best clarinet technician (Artie Shaw gets the nod), but Goodman had a beautiful, sweet sound and the ability to play what the dancing audience wanted to hear. Henderson also arranged "Sometimes I'm Happy", a number that may sound corny by today's standards, but is rescued by Berigan's trumpet work. Jimmy Mundy is probably best known for his arrangement of Louis Prima's "Sing, Sing, Sing", which became a signature song for Goodman and a feature for the knockout drumming of Gene Krupa. Clocking in at eight minutes and 41 seconds, the number is a dance marathon if ever there was one with several false endings and burning solo turns by Goodman and trumpeter Harry James. Mundy also co-wrote "Springtime in the Rockies" with Goodman and provided the incredibly hot chart for "Bugle Call Rag". Another standout is Mary Lou Williams' arrangement of her own composition, "Roll 'Em" which swings with the fierce Kansas City rhythm she had learned from hanging out with Count Basie and Lester Young.
Goodman's big band also became famous in part because of the unique musicians he was able to attract. In some cases these were musicians that no other bands really wanted, yet Goodman was able to meld the individual players' personalities into a well-oiled swing machine. Trumpeters Berigan and Harry James stand out on several numbers, as does Krupa. On a couple of numbers from the late '30s we hear trumpet player Ziggy Elman soloing strongly. "Wrappin' It Up", again arranged by Fletcher Henderson, offers Elman and Chicago tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman, who provides a swinging solo in the Lester Young mold. We also hear vocalists Helen Ward ("It's Been So Long") and Martha Tilton ("And the Angels Sing"). Neither number is there because of its outstanding vocal performance, however, but because it was a popular number and also because of the arrangement. The disc ends with Gordon Jenkins' somber arrangement of Goodman's closing theme "Good-Bye", which highlights the beauty of Benny's clarinet sound almost exclusively.
It's debatable whether King of Swing offers the very best Goodman performances available or whether the big band represented the Goodman sound at its best. Many, myself included, prefer Goodman's small combo recordings, such as his collaborations with pianist Teddy Wilson. However, the disc does represent the most well-known and classic works by the large band, and demonstrates Benny's excellent use of the best arrangers available, something which continued into the 1940s and Goodman's small-group experiments with the bebop sound. For anyone who wants to know what all the fuss was about back in the heyday of swing, this disc provides one very good clue.

Birds flying NORTH for the Winter?
Posted in the Barbourville Forum
#1 Oct 26, 2011
The past 3 days I have noticed very large flocks of birds coming form the south and flying north.
Does anybody know what has changed?
Did a little research, but nothing really explains why.
These birds appear to be black in color and they are not crows, too small.
I am talking almost as many birds as in The BIRDS movie.
Have lived here for 12 yrs and this is the 1st time I have seen this kind of migration.
#2 Oct 26, 2011
it is the end times dearie. have you seen this sort of migration somewhere else? i haven't seen it anywhere till now and i have lived in a dozen states and been to more than the usa as well.
science cannot yet explain it because they are blind to god and his word and refuse to think that there is a power higher than their own prideful, over-inflated egos and intelligences.
now before anyone might get upset at my saying that, i am not putting science down. without it we would still be living in the stone age. i am just saying that some things in this world man cannot explain without god being present.
birds have flown south for the winter since man first saw a bird. now birds are flying in the opposite direction and dropping dead at our feet for no apparent reason, at least no reason science can honestly explain with any true facts to back them up or that they can all agree on.
it has rained worms and frogs over the past few years, look it up it is true, and has happened all over the world. it has been reported on by many tv news stations as well as newspapers, and internet science & bible sites.
huge amounts of a variety of fish species have washed up dead on shorelines around the world with no solid scientific evidence as to why.
then there is the ball of light at the rock. ufo? not the hebrew god elohim like some think because God will not come back till after the fake one does.
keep in mind these have been seen in other areas of the world and many cannot be fully debunked by science-and again, no agreement can be made as to what they are.
if they are ufo's, and i know they are, and if aliens show up, you can be fairly certain they are NOT good and are NOT coming in peace. why? because if aliens exist like we know they do they would have to be nephelim, written of in the holy bible as fallen angels.
the signs of the end times are all around us and if you are smart you will prepare for that.
don't be at all surprised when we are all forced sometime in the next year or so to take rfid chips to show we are not terrorists or whatever the government comes up with as the 'good reason' to try to make us take them. if we refuse them-well there are the fema camps all set up to house us as criminals.
also do not be at all surprised when, sometime over the next year or so, all currency becomes a one world currency and paper money is done away with-after all what we earn will be on file and accessible through the rfid chip's info. so cash will not be needed.
after that it will be much easier to start up the true nwo and one wold government-a very bad thing according to what the bible teaches us because it is a sure sign of the things taking place-the fake messiah.
i am not trying to preach to you but i am saying that all people who have ears to hear better listen and those who have eyes to see better look.
everything is right before us and we can choose to either know what is coming and trust in the one true God or live in denial and ignorance of the fact that we are in the end times and that is a very bad thing, to deny God. you will all see...
#3 Oct 26, 2011
I watched several hundred going southbound with there fourway flashers on this morning while drinking my coffe, it was so cold I guess is the reason why.
#4 Oct 27, 2011
your comment makes no sense...'with there fourway flashers on', what dopes that mean anyhow? and it was not that cold this morning or last but the point is that this person saw a flock flying in the wrong direction. did you ever see a flock flying north for the winter? i think that bible fact person is correct, and science cannot explain it because it is of God.

This is cool....
One person sees a few flocks of birds flying in a northern direction... Not necessarily migrating.
The second person sees this as a definite sign of the end of times...
#6 Oct 27, 2011
Birds should not be flying north this time of year period. Can your science explain it in any definitive way?

This sentence alone proves that you don't have the education required to even understand an answer I would give....

Second... Birds can fly in any direction at any time of the year...

#13 Dec 2, 2011
I'm in Vancouver, WA. This morning my co-worker and I went outside and watched several hundred birds flying north. I've never seen so many flocks in one area, at one time, and certainly not flying north at the start of winter. Very strange. And yes, birds can fly any way their little hearts desire, but it is NOT usual for so many to do so at once, going north for the winter. You don't have to believe it's God in all His mysterious glory, but not believing doesn't make it untrue. Pay attention, people. God wants you for himself and is going to get your attention, one way or another. Read the Bible.

That's right, but even if they were flying "north, it doesn't mean they went way north, but maybe just flew outta sight of whoever saw 'em, and landed out of sight to munch on some worms.

this kind of immoral behavior is exactly why I'm
buildng the Pastor Richards Salvation Statue. Noah had an ark, Texans
had the Alamo, and I am building a highly fortified structure in the
image of the most powerful thing on this planet...ME. Simple. This 50 story statue will be able to deflect alpha,
gamma, and beta radiation. The day is coming, and coming soon, when the
Artificial Suns will rain down to punish the degenerates of ALL NATIONS.
But you can save yourself. The Pastor Richards Salvation Statue will be
a completely self-sufficient community. We have canned food rations,
private living quarters, and enough supplies to survive happily the
predicted 40,000 years of nuclear winter. In phase 2, and with funding
from NASA, we will equip this massive statue with rockets. So when the
poopy hits the proverbial fan, we will load up the statue with all of
the people who saved themselves through generous donations, blast into
space, and colonize Saturn with a race of morally correct, affluent
people ruled by me. call(866-save me) and donate today

Voice of Charlie Brown arrested for alleged threats, stalking
By Marty Graham
SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - The former child actor who was the voice of Charlie Brown in the 1960s "Peanuts" animated television specials will be arraigned on Wednesday, after being arrested at a border crossing near San Diego on a warrant accusing him of making criminal threats and stalking, authorities said.
Peter Robbins, 56, was taken into custody on Sunday evening as he was returning to California from Mexico at the San Ysidro crossing between San Diego and Tijuana, said Ralph DeSio, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
He was jailed in lieu of $550,000 bail on suspicion of four counts of making criminal threats and one count of stalking, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Robbins, who lives in Oceanside, California, was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday afternoon.
Details of the allegations, including who Robbins is accused of threatening, were not immediately available.
The case stems from an arrest of Robbins earlier this month by the San Diego Police Department, said department spokesman Detective Gary Hassen said.
Following his earlier arrest, Robbins was released on $50,000 bond, Hassen said, adding that he did not know why there was an outstanding warrant in the case.
Robbins was only 9 years old in 1965 when he became the voice of the world-weary yet optimistic title character of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," the first of many animated TV specials based on the popular "Peanuts" comic strip of Charles Schulz.
With its jazz-inflected music score and a storyline involving Charlie Brown's search for the true meaning of Christmas in a season corrupted by commercialism, it became a holiday TV classic. Continued...

This December I embarked on an ultimate German Christmas Market Tour and my first stop was Baden-Baden. This is actually the first Christmas Market where I drank my first glühwein. Yay.
What makes it special: This Christmas market is set against the backdrop of the world-famous Kurhaus casino in the equally world- famous spa and thermal bath city of Baden-baden located in the legendary hills of the Black Forest. Whew!
What I loved about it: The Christmas Market is not that big so it was cozy and not super overwhelming.
What can you find here: Besides the normal wursts and gluhwein, they have some great cheeses and special chocolate balls with rum. Yum.
Here are some pictures from Baden-Baden Christmas Market:
Know before you go:
Dates: November 25 – December 30, 2013
Opening Times: 11AM to 9PM daily
You can fly to Baden-Baden or take the German train depending on where you're coming from.
Have you been to a German Christmas Market? Which one was your favorite?

If you are the mommy of a little one, you know what I'm talking about here. You feel like your little one gets tired of having the same old snacks over and over so you end up resorting to store bought snacks more and more, even though they are expensive and you know they aren't really very good for your little guy.
I know I have a tendency to do that sometimes. As much as I like making my little guy healthy, homemade snacks, I get tired of making the same thing over and over and having to buy special things to make snacks.
I'll admit that I was at the grocery store the other day looking for a fruit snack for my little guy that he could have with all his allergies. I couldn't find anything. (We do have some fruit leather, both homemade fruit leather and store bought fruit leather, but he tends to make a HUGE mess of that.)
I know I could always make my own with gelatin and juice but little guy eats quite a bit of homemade "jello" already. I was looking for a real fruit treat.
So I "created" this recipe, that isn't really a recipe at all. For this recipe I used homemade applesauce but you should be able to use most kinds of pureed fruit as long as they aren't too watery.
Healthy Fruit Snacks
What You Need:
- Applesauce (or pureed fruits)
- Dehydrator
- Plastic Bag
- Waxed Paper
How to Make:
- Start by cutting your waxed paper to fit in your dehydrator. If you dehydrator has trays you can skip doing this step.
- Scoop the applesauce into the plastic baggie.
- Cut off one small corner of one side of the bottom of the plastic bag, squeeze the applesauce into large dots onto the waxed paper.
- Dehydrate the dots for about 8 hours, depending on your dehydrator. You want the pieces to be slightly soft still but not sticky.
Once they are finished, store the pieces in the fridge and serve as fruit snacks!
Have you ever made healthy fruit snacks?
