"Companies with a stake in the technology industry or that have staked on the Internet (ala Google or Amazon or any of the thousands of small ecommerce companies around the world) are likely to pluck multiple nuggets of wisdom from her book."
-- Heather Clancy, business journalist
What technologies do we need to solve the complex environmental, economic, social, and political challenges facing us today? As this thought-provoking book reveals, one tool for enacting change is already at our fingertips: the global network.
Consider the private domains of companies, governments, and institutions along with the public Internet: we have an immense communications network that connects billions of people in ways we never thought possible. In this book, author Sarah Sorensen clearly demonstrates why this network is the best sustainable technology available to help us tackle a wide range of problems.
If each of us represents a node on this network, then it's time we realize the potential we hold. The Sustainable Network is a call to action, urging individuals, governments, markets, and organizations to put the power of this network to good use.
Sarah Sorensen is the principal of Sorensen Consulting, a sustainability and strategic communications consultancy. She spent eight years at Juniper Networks in a variety of product and corporate marketing roles. During her tenure, she created and managed the Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability strategy and was a founding member of the company's Green Taskforce, which is responsible for driving energy efficiency initiatives within the engineering and product teams. She also managed Juniper's business announcements, crisis communications and public sector outreach, and spent half a decade marketing the company's security technologies. A graduate of UCLA (1996), where she majored in English and was a member of UCLA's Division 1 women's soccer team, she has focused her efforts in branding, marketing, communications, and public relations for both start-ups and Fortune 500 companies. She has developed and written dozens of white papers, byline articles, and presentations on and about the networking and security industries.

Comments about oreilly The Sustainable Network:
When I needed a book to reasonably and quickly convey the current state of the Internet and connectedness as a whole to some of my co-workers who were just spinning up on the subject, this book proved to be just the ticket. It is technical but not too technical, informative but not too dry, comprehensive but not excessive. As we launch our campaign to change the unsustainable course of human activity on the planet at [@] it is vitally necessary for our own people to understand how we can leverage the function of personal engagement and individual testimonial through an effective application of current and emerging technology, while accurately reflecting our values in that application. This book gave us the basis for that conversation. It isn't going to be the end all be all for anybody but it's a good book for many.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Please get over yourselves, and out of your parent's basement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Association of enterobacter cloacae with rhizome rot of 'edible' ginger in hawaii. Plant Disease. Vol. 88 No. 12, pgs. 1318 - 1327. Interpretive Summary: An enteric bacterium identified as Enterobacter cloacae was isolated from healthy as well as decayed rhizomes of edible ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe). Our studies suggest that the bacterium exists in internal tissue of healthy rhizomes and becomes an opportunistic pathogen resulting in rhizome rot when conditions are ideal for bacterial growth or host susceptibility. Rot in the ginger rhizomes usually occurred in the center area of the rhizome and were characterized by yellowish-brown discoloration and spongy texture. In ginger inoculations, E. cloacae produced root rot and yellowing or 'burning' foliar symptoms on tissue-cultured ginger plantlets in test tubes, and rhizome rot symptoms on ginger slices and rhizome segments. The ginger strains of the bacterium also produced internal yellowing disease symptoms on the Kapoho Solo cultivar of papaya, and internal rot of onion bulbs. The association of E. cloacae with a rhizome rot of ginger is a new report. Two colony forms of the ginger strains of E. cloacae were also observed, which represents a new finding.
Technical Abstract: A Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium was consistently isolated from decayed as well as symptomless ginger rhizomes. The bacterium was identified as Enterobacter cloacae by biochemical assays and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Rot symptoms, which usually occurred in the central cylinder of the rhizome, were characterized by yellowish-brown to brown discolored tissue and firm to spongy texture. In inoculation experiments, ginger strains of E. cloacae produced basal stem and basal root rot, with foliar chlorosis and necrosis in tissue-cultured ginger plantlets, and discolored and spongy tissue in mature ginger rhizome slices and whole segments. In other hosts, ginger strains of E. cloacae caused internal yellowing of ripe papaya fruit and internal rot of onion bulbs. Three papaya cultivars responded differently to E. cloacae infection: 'Kapoho Solo' was highly susceptible, 'Rainbow' was mildly resistant, and 'Sun Up' was immune. All strains that caused symptoms in inoculated plants were reisolated and identified as E. cloacae. Our studies suggest that E. cloacae is an internal endophyte of ginger rhizomes that becomes an opportunistic pathogen that can cause rhizome rot when conditions favor bacterial growth or host susceptibility. The association of E. cloacae with a rhizome rot of ginger is a new finding.

Flea Infestation?
My husband and i took in a stray cat and she brought in fleas a couple of month later... We've bombed the house and i've tried borax and salt. I vacuum every day and only pick up maybe 5-6 fleas each time. Also when i see them i only see maybe 3-4 max in a day. But what really gets me is that my 17 month old sons legs have bites all over them. Which leads me to believe that there are more than i'm seeing.
A little input would be much appreciated and also the quickest way to get rid of them..
Thanks Much!
Search for a recent thread on this topic. Treating the cat for fleas will not only kill those on him/her but to some extent on furniture and in carpeting. You seem diligent about vacuuming but you may have to extraction clean once to control this. Flea collars work to a point but the vet type treatments a couple times a year really make everybody more comfortable.
Can the cat be adapted to be an indoor only/mostly feline? Obviously this will cut down on new infestations.
Does your youngun play in the grass outside? He may be as much a carrier of fleas as the cat! If the situation does not improve when you treat the cat, you may have to have a pest control company spray the lawn grasses and so forth.
I had a girlfriend fleas loved for some reason and we knew it was time to treat all the beasts when they started nibbling at her. As mentioned, with the vet flea treatments it was never again a major problem.
I think they must like females, we have always had cats and or dogs, so always had fleas and when they got bad,would go after the wife's legs. The flea stuff put a stop to that.
diatomaceous earth was our savior this summer.
Do you have a flea collar in your vacuum? Put the DE under beds, couches and furniture. It kills them manually, and the flea stuff (from the vet) will kill them chemically.
I can't spray anything in my home due to migranes, so even though it takes longer, it's a safer method for us.

Delaware River Basin Conservation Initiative
Important oyster reef habitat areas have been identified as a conservation priority in the Delaware Bay.
The Mighty Delaware
With more than 300 miles designated "wild and scenic," the Delaware is a river of tremendous biological, economic and cultural significance. Nearly 20 million people along the East Coast rely on its water for drinking and industrial purposes. They share the resource with shad, sturgeon, eel and other species that migrate through the river.
However, today the Delaware faces a growing variety of threats, including increased human demands on the water supply, development and climate change. With four states relying on the Delaware's resources, action must be taken to conserve and protect this precious resource.
It was this need to address the Delaware River from a whole system perspective that led to the creation of the Delaware River Basin Conservation Initiative – a collaborative effort between The Nature Conservancy, Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, and Natural Lands Trust.
The goal? The daunting task of creating a conservation blueprint that will help ensure a healthy Delaware River and Bay.
The yearlong effort was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Conservation by Design
We, working with over 30 partners in four states, completed a set of protection and restoration strategies to conserve the Delaware River Basin – from its headwaters to its Bay – for the benefit of people and nature.
These strategies help to make the landscape ecologically healthy and more resilient—especially to broader issues like climate change—it will also make the most of limited human and financial services.
The plan identified priority areas for conservation and identified strategies that include:
- Protecting and restoring floodplains
- Restoring shellfish populations
- Restoring habitat for migratory fish
Planning for the future
The Initiative blends strategies for protection, restoration, and management –all needed to ensure the long-term viability and health of the basin's ecosystem. The conservation of these places will require that traditional conservation connects with creative, emerging strategies to accommodate multiple needs.

Teton County, Wyo., adopts comprehensive plan
TETON COUNTY, Wyo. - Teton County, Wyo., is going to conduct business in a new way.
County leaders have voted to adopt a comprehensive plan.
The goal is four-fold:
- Environmental stewardship
- Economic sustainability
- Build a vibrant community
- Organizational excellence
All this to encourage the government to work as efficiently as possible.
County Administrator Steve Foster said commissioners will aim for all of their decisions to fit within the four statements.
"How we use this is to really frame our decision making – whether its land use decision making, whether it's finance decisions, whether it's priorities for projects -- and identify what's important for them to do that year," said Foster.
County leaders plan to re-evaluate the strategy every year.

This derby was actually pretty hard to stay in-theme and still interesting. Many are easier. The pre-derby thread can be a good place to get clarifications and see what other people think the theme means.
A good rule of thumb for avoiding the Rejectionator, past "don't trace," is to keep cultural references indirect. A wad of cheese in a headband gets through. An actual ninja turtle doesn't. "Which cup do you want to poison?" gets through. A word-for-word quote doesn't.
Reinterpret, don't repeat.

runnerfrog13 wrote:I thought 8-bit meant pixellated with only 8 colors?
I Am Not An Expert and have a lot of questions of my own on this subject, but 8-bit refers to programs that ran on 8-bit hardware. In video games, this means anything published before 1987, when 16-bit came out and allowed for a lot more complexity.
I'm not sure how many colors all 8-bit systems could support, but the major graphic design factor was the screen definition.
The Apple IIe could support 280x192 in 6 colors (plus the black screen), so designing for it in a Woot shirt is kind of ideal. I'm not sure about the screen resolutions of the video games my peers were apparently playing while I was restricted to PBS and educational games.

It was posted pretty late. (Order by date and you'll see.) A lot of people don't go back and check for late entries, or only look at stuff that's already past a certain vote threshold, so speed matters on the Derby.
That and the dearth of fan service.

Without any kind of framing on the t-shirt, there's no reason to interpret it as anything but a direct experience of the Doctor's day, which is in the same territory as astronauts, Godzilla, and Alice throwing cats, all of which have been nixed in this derby.
Still really cool tinyart, though! Do you have any more of your work up online?

gement wrote:I can see how getting all four entries rejected on your first try would be pretty frustrating. Let's go back to square one. Read the rules, which apply to every derby.
Don't use other people's work. Don't trace from photos or other pictures. It's called plagiarism, it's intellectual property theft, and it's illegal to sell it. All four of your entries seem to have done this, and it's the one big rule.
There's politics on the derby about this, as you may have already seen. There are questions about variable enforcement. I'd personally like to see a minimum one-month ban from the derby for demonstrable photo or clip art plagiarism to discourage people from gambling on not getting caught.
But yours were, for better or worse, all really obvious, and you got caught. If you didn't know the rule, you do now. Tracing is theft. Please don't. Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate the response. I'll try harder next time.

So you recently sold your successful business and want to start anew. For your next venture, you have the urge to "put the old band back together." But this strategy, albeit an attractive one, can bring with it a variety of difficulties.
Before you try to rebuild your old team for the new project, think about whether your established crew of employees, managers, contractors, and vendors is right for the new job. Here are a few key points to consider.
Can the Old Band Play New Music?
Your colleagues did an excellent job supporting your previous business. But you're starting fresh now, and you need to tailor your decisions to your new endeavor's requirements and opportunities.
You probably feel a great sense of loyalty for, confidence in, and comfort with the people you already know. But bear in mind that the startup challenges you're about to face may:
- require different skills and expertise;
- call for new ideas and new procedures;
- involve a different industry or business environment; and
- reflect a new business model.
Before you reach out to former employees and partners, take the time to identify the specific skill sets and expertise your business will need to succeed going forward. Work from that list to identify the people who can truly propel you toward success.
Is Everyone Still Hungry?
With a prior "win" under their belts, there's a chance some of the professionals who were hungry the last go-round have grown a bit complacent. Others may have become overconfident and expect to replicate their past good fortune without putting in the same extraordinary effort as before.
Beyond determining the skills you'll need from others, remember to evaluate your previous team members to see whether they've still got the will and desire to push ahead, all the way to the finish line.
Can Former Players Still Make the Cut?
Even if your new venture is a replica of the old one — and it's probably not — there's a good chance the surrounding business environment, competition, and prospective customer has changed significantly. Are members of your old crew as fully in tune with these realities, or even more so, than other candidates eager to fill those positions?
Before you commit to any former team members, check for signs that they're fixated on the past, closed to the future, or less perceptive about the current business environment than other professionals. A key advantage of looking elsewhere is that it guarantees you'll be offered new approaches, ideas, perspectives, and strategies.
Whatever route your choose, note that mixing old and new talent — or at least forging new relationships among the established players — can help to stimulate everyone's creative juices. You also may want to hire an outside consultant to augment the contributions of your crew. And you can seek fresh input from your new venture's prospects, customers, and other stakeholders, too.

KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus - Caviar
I purchased this mixer several months ago. I use it all of the time for cakes, cookies, spinach dip, and lots more. It has three different beater attachments which are used for different applications. The wire whip is not recommended for the dishwasher, but I have had no problems with the other attachments in the dishwasher. Its heavy and durable.

I recently made a trip to Lawrence, KS to see my son graduate from KU. While there we made a trip to Wichita to visit some elderly aunts. while in Wichita we went to 2 grocery stores and was amazed to see that both of these stores had armed guards greeting everyone as they walked into the store. The 2 stores that we went to were not in any bad neighborhood so I was wonering what gives? We also saw many "no guns allowed" signs posted. if fact many more than any place that I have traveled.
Would someone from Kansas give me their point of view on my observations. from what I saw it seems to me that the Kansas CCW law may be in jeopardy.
By the way, Lawrence had very few signs and no armed greeters???

Peterson, L.K., K M. Bergen, Daniel G. Brown, L. Vashchuk, and Y. Blam. 2009. "Forested land-cover patterns and trends over changing forest management eras in the Siberian Baikal region." Forest Ecology and Management, 257(3): 911-922.
Remote sensing observations over areas of the former Soviet Union suggest that there may be important ongoing influences on forested landscapes resulting from divergent land use and forest management associated with the Soviet versus post-Soviet eras. As the Russian Federation implements its new Forest Code and associated regulations, knowledge of existing; forest patterns and trends, plus the development of methods with which to understand the landscape-level influence of different forest management strategies is increasingly important. We developed spatial-temporal models and projections of forest patterns and trends over Soviet and early post-Soviet forest management eras for a study site in the Lake Baikal region in southern Siberia. We used Landsat-derived land-cover data, logistic regressions, and Markov and cellular automata methods (CA-Markov) to characterize patterns and trends 1975-1989 and 1990-2001, and to develop predictive scenarios through 2013. Relationships of forest types (Conifer, Mixed, Deciduous) and Agriculture to other explanatory environmental variables indicated mostly consistent forest-environment relationships, but some different spatial relationships between eras were found for Cut and Regeneration disturbance types. Landscape proportional trends showed greater differences between eras. Cut proportions observed via Landsat in 2001 were approximately 74% lower, and the area of Conifer observed was approximately 14% higher, than modeled proportions predicted for 2001 using 1975-1989 Soviet era transition rates. The proportion of Cut projected for 2013 was about 80% lower when based on early post-Soviet era probabilities. Overall, modeled results indicate that should early post-Soviet trends continue, low rates of logging, some agricultural abandonment, regrowing forests especially near access routes, increases in deciduous cover, along with continued or increased fire events in mixed and conifer forests will define the landscape. Should forest management change, for example to Soviet era rates and patterns of harvest, different outcomes are projected. More broadly, results highlight the real and prospective effects that divergent management strategies can have on forested landscapes, and demonstrate that land-cover data combined with emerging spatial-temporal modeling methods provide an approach to understand and project the complex and ongoing influences associated with changing forest management at landscape scales.

U.S. artist tracks fallen soldiers in major work
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - U.S. artist Emily Prince has been working on "American Servicemen and Women Who Have Died in Iraq and Afghanistan" for five years, and is likely to have to do so for several more.
On an almost daily basis, the 28-year-old from California visits a website that tracks U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq to see if there have been fresh fatalities.
When there are, she calls up the image of a dead soldier if one is available, copies it in graphite pencil, writes some basic personal details and includes a short commentary about the person when there is enough information.
If there is no picture available, Prince leaves most of the piece of card blank.
The result, on show from Thursday at the Saatchi Gallery in central London, is a long room where the white walls are lined with over 5,100 postcard-sized illustrations of fallen soldiers, their skin color reflected by different-colored paper.
"It was just out of curiosity, because my country has such a heavy hand militarily and ... I guess I felt something of a responsibility to know more about that since I was connected to it, though may be indirectly," Prince told Reuters. "It's most moving reading about the people more than looking at the faces because that's when you have a more in depth idea of an individual and that's when I have more of an emotional response to it.
"But I'm also doing it so much that I don't think I could possibly sustain a total emotional engagement with it the whole time."
The postcards are arranged in columns, each of which represents a week. Continued...

Dreamweaver is the most powerful and industry-leading web design software that utilizes cutting edge web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery for web and mobile development. These technologies have radically reconfigured the process of designing web content and function in the widest possible range of browsing environments, ranging from desktops to mobile devices.
"Dreamweaver CS6 Mobile and Web Development with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery Mobile" is essentially three books in one: an introduction to building websites; Dreamweaver CS6: HTML5, CSS3, Responsive Design; and an in-depth explanation of how to build inviting, accessible mobile sites with Dreamweaver CS6, responsive design, and jQuery Mobile.
This book serves both as the essential reference for Dreamweaver CS6, and a valuable addition to even the most extensive set of resources for modern web design, with or without Dreamweaver.
The book starts off by teaching you to create sites and pages with Dreamweaver CS6 and how to use HTML5 for page structure. Then we will learn some cutting-edge design and animation with CSS3.
The book also shows how to create and enhance mobile sites with jQuery Mobile. You will also learn to customize themes with ThemeRoller.
"Dreamweaver CS6 Mobile and Web Development with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery Mobile Mobile" covers the entire spectrum of web design with Dreamweaver, with an emphasis on multi-media (full screen and mobile) design and jQuery Mobile.
This book combines accessible, clear, engaging, and candid reference material, advice, and shortcuts with substantial step-by-step instructions for creating a wide range of HTML5 and CSS3 designs and page content in Dreamweaver.
This book is geared towards experienced Dreamweaver web designers migrating to HTML5 and jQuery. It also targets web designers new to Dreamweaver who want to jump with two feet into the most current web design tools and features. While focused primarily on Dreamweaver CS5.5, the book includes content of value to readers using older versions of Dreamweaver with directions on installing a version of Adobe's HTML5 Pack that updates those older packages.

Mommy has tried to straighten up my haircut a few times since she shaved me, and I must confess, I'm not on my best behavior. Mommy is being patient with me and just does little bits at a time, but she keeps wanting to do my FACE! I mean c'mon!!! She keeps telling me that I look "lopsided" because when she gets one side done, I refuse to sit still any long and so my face doesn't match. Maybe one of these days she'll get done with it! Maybe I'll even decide to sit still and let her! Mommy says that I am coming a long way and learning "how to be a dog." I don't know what she means by that, but it makes mommy smile, so I like it too! My fursister Dory likes to play a LOT. I'm not so sure I like playing with her, she's kind of....mommy says "high strung". But, sometimes I'll get down and shake a toy or two with her. My favorite game is "bounce-n-bark". That's when I hide in mommy's lap and when Dory tries to get my attention, I bounce up and down and bark at her, then I hide again and wait for Dory to bounce at me. Mommy says we look like "whack a mole" wannabes when we play this game. Don't know what it means, though. Mommy says a lot of things I don't understand, but I'm beginning to think that's just fine because mommy is awesome. I get to "go bye bye", "go potty outside" (better than "go potty in my bed cuz that's the only place to do it"), and "love mommy so much". Another favorite game of mine! It's turning out that being with new mommy is exactly what I never realized I always wanted. Yep, life is officially good....cept on grooming days!
Well, she did it. Mommy shaved me today. I didn't like it one little bit! She said it had to be done and that my hair was beyond salvation because of the tangles. She let me keep the hair on my tail and some of the hair on my face. But, she said that that needs more work too! Can you believe it! All my beautiful hair....I have to admit, I didn't behave myself very well at ALL and so my haircut is not as good as it should be, and my feet STILL aren't done...though mommy did get the hair from between my pads and now it feels oohhhhhh so good when I walk around! Maybe I won't be so bad next time she comes out with me with the clipper things because ya know what? I can SEE!!! All the stupid ole hair that was in my eyes is almost completely gone and now I can see my mommy, my people sisters AND my doggy sisters! I'm having fun getting to know everyone by sight and not just smell and sound!
Mommy took me to a place with lots of people today. She says I need to soc-i-lize...what's that mean? All I know was there were lots of people and almost all of them told me what a pretty girl I am, so I liked that part. I DID NOT like the other dogs and with all those feet around, I decided to just sit in mommy's lap and watch everyone. But, mommy went out in a pas-ture thing and of course I followed her, and when I got out there.....well, the kids were all running pulling on strings with these funny triangle things that were flying up behind them, and well....I started to chase them!! It felt sooo good!! Mommy says I am really fast and she was laughing and smiling at me telling me what a good girl I am. I really liked it!! I tell ya, it's been a long eventful day and now I am dozing off in mommy's lap (where else would I be?). I'm glad I came to live with mommy!

The driver, Nicole Ippolito, was subsequently charged with driving while intoxicated and unreasonable speed after she failed to negotiate a curve in the road. She was transported to Clifton Springs Hospital for treatment of neck pain, and then later transported to Strong Memorial Hospital by Finger Lakes Ambulance after it was discovered that she suffered a cervical fracture. The defendant was also charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree; she was issued appearance tickets and will appear in Phelps Town Court at a later date.

Genial, always smiling TV-rific Ronald Reagan became president in 1980. "It's morning again in America." And the customer relationship came in full blast. For many younger people this particular twist on the always important "relationship" word was like fresh air rather than a freezing wind blowing down their necks. It's not like it had never been around, but during the feel-good 1960s and the get-your-rock 'n' rolls-off 1970s, lots of us were looking for something beside it: social engagement, liberation (a word like "empowerment" that the corporations immediately took to their kind hearts), "Nirvana," the guru next door, and a meaningful encounter that might last one night, but, heck, it was still a great night.
Most of us remember that period as a time of "affinity," We preferred this to the more mundane exercise of cruising for customers that led ultimately to the "New Consumerism," a cosmetically egalitarian concept which states that all you are is what you own and/or what you can buy.
In other words, all consumers are created equal in their unimpeded opportunities to keep on buying and consuming. (And, if you don't believe this, you are a revolting, disgusting, and possibly sexually deviant "elitist," belonging to that group Rush Limbaugh loathes while chomping down on one of his $32 burgers at the 21 Club.)
So, according to classic Marxian dialectics, out of the hoary ol' feel-good, hippy-dippy Moms and Dads from the 1960s-70s, came their kids: voilà Michael J. Fox in Family Ties, in his young Republican button-down, feeling . . . OK, what he was feeling was a hard one to figure out. (Although in the new egalitarian Consumerism, "hard one" and no brains went together good, too.)
So what if Fox's guy had no "consciousness" (Screw that, who needs it: you can't bed a brain anyway)? So what if he had no empathy for the whales or the economically challenged (screw it too: you don't bed hot girls with empathy)? So what if he was a WASP version of a schlemiel (screw that . . . anyway, just screw it!)—to the new Generation X the Customer Relationship (or C.R.) seemed as refreshing as a good hit of coke, as honest as cheery Ronny Reagan and his endearing Hollywood family, and without a tad of hidden agenda.
You didn't have to be smart to engage in it, you didn't have to be "spiritual," and as one earnest youngster told me in the midst of Ronny's "American morning," circa 1985, "The one thing we all have in common is that we're all consumers."
Who'd not love such an endearing declaration?
Rarely have so many people been relegated to pure schmuckdom by so few.
Then hard reality blew in. The market did not "know everything." So a whole generation learned as it maxed itself into credit card slavery. The boom-or-bust real estate cycles promulgated by the hard-ass necessity that your house must become your retirement (because there's no other plan, idiot), led to a whole new class of millionaires-next-door as well as their shadows, the homeless across the street, who suddenly looked just like you and I.
We also began to suspect people who believed themselves to be outside the now accepted (and even demanded) C.R., such as trade unionists, teachers, doctors, artists, writers, and other "professionals" who had been brainwashed into believing that —"elitists" as they were—their jobs did have some semblance to an a profession. That is, there was some other human component in it beyond a paycheck, and, hopefully, their work could not be outsourced tomorrow to Bangladesh.
This made these people pure trash among the Republicans and other religious believers in the C.R., even through that now "classic" relationship's various low points, such as the Clinton Spring. During the Clinton hiatus, those damn elitist S.O.B's started coming out of the woodwork again, the Federal budget was balanced, and we had a surplus. This was not going good for the billionaires, but they weren't about to stand still for very long, not when they could get Joe Plumber (non-union, of course) on their side.
Joe loves a good conspiracy, and anything outside the C. R. quickly became that. In another era in fact, simply being outside the ol' C.R. would quickly land you in "Red" territory. Witness that wonderful quote from Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, when a foreman at a big agri-ranch tells us what a "goddamn Red is."
"A goddamn Red is someone who wants to make 9 cents an hour when I want to pay him 7."
Now you'd think this beloved Customer Relationship (which at one point, back in the by-and-by had seemed like an enlightened reaction to feudalism itself, and whose nascence had—in most probabilities—given birth to Protestantism) would still be blowing good and sweet. Except it isn't. As things have gone more and more sour towards it, huge numbers of people, armed with—we hope—the ballot, want something else. The C. R., which might have once been personified by the alto trilling voice of, say, Franklin Pangborn, 1930s Hollywood's professional sissy ("Madame, please step over here for your henna rinse and facial massage!") is now totally computerized. It's as mechanized as an ATM machine, with one grimy hand in your wallet as the other strokes your groin–the original bait-and-switch—while its head is somewhere in China.
So even the Wal-Mart's crowd, dedicated consumers all, is tired of it.
They're worn out by it. They yearn for normal "family" again. They have a just discovered blood-lust for "affinity," "empathy," "morality," and even a bit of "chivalry." So guess where they're looking for it, and who's going to give it to them?
Can anyone still sight the ever-ready specter of Rick Santorum, even now that his more cleaned up version, Mitt Romney, is galloping on a white Mormon horse over the horizon?

It seemed as if yesterday the baseball gods wanted every player on the market to go, well at least from the catcher's perspective.
A.J. Pierzynski inked a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox worth about $8.25 million early on Tuesday morning. The former Texas Ranger hit .272 with 17 home runs and 70 RBI in 2013, and has been a consistent offensive and defensive weapon over the course of his career. His lowest career average was .257.
Later on Tuesday night, Jarrod Saltalamacchia signed a three-year contract with the Miami Marlins worth $21 million, or $7 million each season. Salty is a switch-hitting catcher who started to find an offensive home in Boston with a career year in 2013 with 40 doubles, 14 homers and 65 runs batted in with a .273 average.
The Pierzynski deal came out of nowhere for the Red Sox and it probably became more important because Saltalamacchia and the Red Sox could not come to terms on a three-year contract. The Red Sox wanted to only go two years since there are several prospects in the wings who need to get more reps over the next couple of seasons in Blake Swihart and Christian Vazquez.
Salty would have been a great option since he knows the pitching staff and is basically a left-handed bat because he is not great from the right side. However, Pierzynski is a veteran catcher who can fill the void until the young guys are ready to play on an everyday basis.
Sure, there may be issues with the 36-year-old with competitiveness and keeping a cool during each at-bat or pitch he is catching. But all that "bad attitude" makes it so other teams hate him and he shouldn;t affect the chemistry of this clubhouse going forward. Plus, if everything works out, then he could be back for one more season on another one-year deal if the prospects are not yet ready to play in the big leragues.

text: I am 8 1/2 months (34 weeks) pregnant and I don't know if I would go for a 'painless' normal delivery or the natural way without anesthesia. This is my first pregnancy and I don't have any idea if I could tolerate much pain during childbirth. I heard several feedbacks from moms that had 'painless' delivery( with anesthesia) that they had short term memory loss or anxiety after child birth. which one to choose?

Kindergarten Application Season Starts in City Schools
New York City elementary schools are lining up tours for parents of prospective students this month, as the annual admissions cycle kicks into gear. Applications for the 2012-13 kindergarten classes are being accepted through March 2.
Last school year, the wait-list soared by 40 percent in March, after the first round of admissions.
The Education Department said that 92 percent of children were placed in their zoned schools but that thousands more applied than in 2010. Waiting lists shrink later when families learn if their children were accepted to private schools or gifted-and-talented programs.
Students who aren't placed in their zoned schools are sent to other schools in their district that have space.
The squeeze has been particularly tight for the past few years in parts of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. Politicians have blamed the city for failing to keep up with demographic changes, and some have proposed solutions.
Jim Devor, president of Community Education Council 15 in Brooklyn, said he again expected wait-lists at Public School 169 and P.S. 94 Henry Longfellow in Sunset Park, as well as at P.S 107 John W. Kimball in Park Slope.
"They've had wait-list issues of significant proportions," he said, adding that P.S. 107 already eliminated a pre-K class last year to make space. His advice for parents: "Be aggressive and assertive, and just don't take no for an answer."
Along with concerns about crowding, parents are also facing new academic demands. The city has shifted to its Common Core Learning Standards, which put more emphasis on higher-order thinking starting in kindergarten.
Ruby Takanishi, president of the Foundation for Child Development in New York City, said parents touring elementary schools should ask teachers and principals how they connect what's taught in kindergarten to the later grades.
"A good early-childhood learning program is based on our knowledge of how children develop cognitively, socially, emotionally," she said. "What we know about how they learn to read, how they learn to do math, how they develop their social skills. And the curriculum and instruction that goes on in these skills should be tightly linked to those developmental pathways for children."
Information about the application process can be found on the Education Department's Web site. As usual, zoned schools give priority to students who live in their boundaries, but there can be exceptions. Parents should call their local schools to ask about tours.

Ok, so here's the thing. I have an enormous amount of respect for authors who can do a ton of research for a novel and then weave it in seamlessly without it sounding like one enormous info dump. I knew I was going to be wowed by H.B. Moore's Finding Sheba, and I was not disappointed.
This is the description from Amazon:
"An ancient legend is reborn . . . One that might prove the Bible false.
For centuries, historians have theorized the Queen of Sheba as only a seductive legend, and scholars have debated over the legitimacy of King David or King Solomon. When undercover Israeli agent, Omar Zagouri, stumbles onto a tomb in Northern Jerusalem he unknowingly finds the final clue that threatens to overthrow government claim to the Holy Land, pits wealthy collectors against one another, and sends ruthless archaeologists scrambling to find the queen's secret burial place. An assassination attempt on the Coptic Pope, His Holiness, Patriarch Stephanus II, is only the first in the chain of lethal crimes. Omar must find a way to prevent the greatest discovery of the century from becoming the most deadly."
The story has four subplots that run simultaneously. At the core of it all is the Queen of Sheba herself, Nicaula, and her story unfolds anciently as we then blend into our modern sub-plots, which include:
- Jade, the grad student, whose professor has been murdered and she is working with handsome Frenchman, Luc, to uncover the secret behind the professor's murder--that he knew where the Queen of Sheba is buried. This information has the potential to wreak havoc all over the world because many countries lay claim to her.
- Alem is an Ethopian native whose grandmother believes they are descendants of the Queen of Sheba and he goes to a dig in Oman to see if he can't prove for himself that it's true. While there, he crosses paths with--
- Omar Zagouri, an undercover agent who is working with Mia, his former girlfriend, to keep all the governments looking into the Queen of Sheba's burial place on the up-and-up.
Now. There are layers within layers in this complex but readable book, and I'm not going to give any spoilers. It is a satisfying read on so many levels, for those who appreciate intrigue and political suspense, romance and personal relationships, and a delicious premise that could have implications and ripples that would change religions, cultures, history itself.
I have long admired Heather Moore's ability to spin a good yarn while infusing fascinating historical facts and settings that are believable and rich. Her knowledge of the Middle East is clear, and if I didn't know she has visited many times, I would assume she has. There's something wonderful about being in the hands of a master storyteller, and a smart one, to boot. You can be a reader who knows next to nothing about the Middle East and all of its complex history, or you can be an expert on the subject, and either way, you will come away from this read satisfied.
I give this book two thumbs up and tip my hat to the author. As a contemporary who has spent a fair amount of time conducting research of my own, I admire her abilities and talents with healthy envy. :-)

EV buyers in California that were hoping to get the keys to the new Fiat 500e will be disappointed to hear that the electric 500e is sold out for the rest of the year. Jason Stoicevich, president and CEO of the Fiat brand in North America told Wards Auto, "We're pretty much sold out for the year."
The Fiat 500e is currently only sold in California. "The electric-car market is alive and well in California," Stoicevich says. He also revealed that the Gucci-trimmed Fiat 500 is also sold out.

Now with that said ask for goodwill!!!! At 58k and a 2008 you are in the running for it. The dealer controls that process not BMWNA. It sounds like this dealer doesn't want your repeat business and is playing shuck and jive so you don't ask for it!
Appreciate the comments, and we are working on the goodwill side of things, don't know what the outcome will be yet.
Certainly, your assessment of 150k seems far more reasonable from an engineering perspective to expect potential leaking issues. Yes, 100% followed the BMW maintance schedule and I agree with your suspicions. I've often wondered about these long duration oil changes, I'm not a huge fan of them. But the industry does seem to be moving in that direction as a whole. But you might be on to something.
It's interesting, there's an independent BMW mechanic here in my town who I don't know well at all. But in my conversation with him, he said the seals are not the issue on these engines, it's the oil switch. In his experience, the oil switch fails and causes some type of pressure problem which forces oil out the seals. I can't confirm any of that, but it was an interesting alternative perspective from someone who claimed to fix many of them.
in the past, I've loved working on my different BMW's as I often appreciated the engineering thought that went into many components. But if others are also having these type of problems and BMW is claiming them to be normal, there are serious design/manufacturing problems and an even more serious perspective problem from BMW itself.

Algae question
I am very new to aquariums I have tree types of moss in our tank. I noticed this week that there was a few pieces of verry fine strings hanging from some of the moss. I am talking thinner than sewing thread. I think it is green I couldn't get a picture of it because its so fine. Its a low tec 10 gal tank only has a betta in it right now. The light is just a basic florescent light nothing fancy. Its on from about 9 in the morning tell about 5 ish at night when the kids feed the fish. I have removed the strings as I have found them they pull off easily. What can i do to deter them from getting worse. Would shrimp or something help ? I would hate to see if over take our tank our moss is starting to grow good.
Check out this page and see if thread algae matches what you have in your tank! Good luck!
It looks like it could be thread algae. I have a marimo ball and three types of moss will those out compete it ? I remove it when ever I see it.
If not, physically removing it is your best bet. :)
You can try playing with your photo-period some. It looks like you have a light running 8 hours? Might knock this down some and see if that helps. I would also put the light on a timer if it is not already. Increased plant load probably wouldn't hurt, though I doubt water-changes will do the trick (having had massive thread algea issues in the past myself). How is circulation in the tank?
When approaching algea problems, I almost always consider lighting issues first before chasing around other potential culprits.
The timer should help. Also, there is a product called excel which kills algae, though it does not say so on the label due to some legal stuff. You can dose your whole tank as per the instructions or just squirt a little right on the algae one time. Don't overdose it or it will kill everything in there and don't let the kids play with it, its a rather nasty general biocide. The Excell has other properties too. It speeds up how fast your plants grow by giving them carbon which they usually get from the CO2 in the water. That they do say on the label. Generally speaking, In a tank with some light and fish/fish food providing some nutrients (NPK and traces) to the plants the carbon is what plants need more than anything else. You know, the right level of light is the key to plants growing well and algae being almost non existant (there will alway be some). I dont know if your ligh is too high or too low, but if your ligh is just a bit too high the excel would probably help a lot with the algae. The more healthy and populous your plants the less algae there will be, but not because the plants eat all the nutrients and leave none for the algae, rather because healthy plants excrete chemicals which prevent algal growth while unhealthy one release ammonia which triggers algal growth, other conditions which favor algae are unbalanced factors such as light to CO2 ratios. This is very common with a persons first planted tank. Too much light and not enough CO2allows the algae to thrive. Algae does much better than plants in unbalanced conditions. There are other things, like poor circulation or low oxygen, that cause algae and I don't really know the cause in your tank. A little algae is not a bad thing, by the way. It is actually good for your fish since it is removing toxins just like the plants do, except for "blue green algae" which is properly called cyanobacteria. That stuff is not really algae despite the name and is poisonous. If you get that get rid of it fast. As for the good algae, it took me about a year to get a good handle on mine so Don't be bothered if it is kinda tough to get rid of. Now I try to grow some because I have some algae eating otto cats in my tank. Keep in mind that If you decide to use the Excel regularly your plants may grow so fast that you may need to fertilize a little bit in the future.
Thank I will put it on the list incase it gets worse. I am going to decrease the time that my light is on and see if that helps first. If not we will give it a try
Yeah. Um. I don't really know that your light is too high. String algae can come in with plants you buy and will grow even a balanced tank. If it's the only algae you have you probably don't have too much light, that would cause all kinds of algae. I would just try removing or killing it. Aparently you can put some hydrogen peroxide on it to kill it too. Too little light is not good either. I think 8 hours is a good minimum amount of time for plants to be lit. If you did need to reduce the light can you move the light up higher above the tank? If not, I would cover about ten percent of the bulb with some tape to reduce the intensity rather than the photoperiod.
Photo-period of less than 8 hours can be used. Link to the edge in my signature is running on a 4-hour photo period.
Wheaties- Your edge looks great! I know short periods can be used but don't think we are sure that too much light is the issue here. Now that we hear about the natural sunlight I suspect that. I agree with Hotrod's approach. Small change... Wait and see. A little algae is not bad. Also Wheaties; I would love to know why you run a 4 hour day. Is your bulb too bright for more hours?
It's low-tech with no c02 injenction or fert-dosing. The bio-load is also very low, as it is currently a home to only some blue-velvet neos. The lower photo-period prevents most algea growth and keeps plant growth slow for reduced pruning requirements.
Back to the topic at hand, I would agree that considering the sunlight is important and making small adjustments should get you where you want. Thread algea is fairly irritating stuff to deal with. Maybe look into adding some anubias or java fern to your set-up. Both are traded commonly on the forum and you could likely get some through a ROAK.

This Diploma Thesis explores the possibilities of formal modeling and analysis of the airbag control unit, and has been carried out in close collaboration with Robert Bosch GmbH, CR/AEA in Frankfurt. The on-hand work strives for an assessment of the dependability of the air bag control unit manufactured by Bosch.
Based on a formal concept of synchronization concepts, the modelling languages of Uppaal [LAR97] and MoDeST [ARG01] are exemplified that prepare grounds for later modelling of the airbag's control unit. Using simulation in MoDeST the former defined LTL properties e.g. "Does the airbag deploy when it should?" - are proven to assure the proper behavior and reliable function of the underlying device. In the succeeding, Matlab Simulink is used to analyze the ECU model and derive a statistical figure which reveals the deployment probability over a time horizon of 12.000 time units. Security requirements like MTTF et cetera are evaluated using a Markov chain model, reflecting the airbag controllers life cycle by simulation in MoDeST, testified at an analytical level by exponentiating the transition matrix. A feasibility analysis of simulating parts of the ECUs failure tree is executed in MoDeST where results are confered with outcomes of commercial tools for Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).The automated fault tree generation is applied for a simple airbag controller model exhibiting a way, how fault trees can be extracted out of the ECUs behavior model. Based on a pre-processor grammar, artificial failures are inserted like noise and the delay of signals that contribute to a failure of malfunction of the device under consideration.
The general principles of Importance Analysis - especially the structural, marginal, Barlow-Proschan, and Fussell-Vesely measure are treated in the following, giving examples and comparing the advantages and cons of each over the others. In the end, requirements of the visionary Single Source Model that can be used for simulation, verification, dynamic- and static failure analysis are discussed and the advantages and respective disadvantages are pointed out.

Casa Manila is so close to my workplace yet I haven't gone to try it yet.
One of my girlfriends was finally free to meet up so we decided to go here for dinner one night.
First up was the pancit bihon. It is stir fried rice noodles with chicken, shrimp and veggies. Absolutely delicious. I think it was comparable to Max's Restaurant. After this dish, the remaining dishes were just mediocre.
Here was the kare kare which is stewed beef and vegetables drenched in peanut sauce. I hardly found any meat in this dish. It was mostly fat. So unappetizing. Also the sauce tasted like peanuts but still kinda bland to me.
Kristy wanted to try the crispy pata since I was raving about it in my post on Max. It is basically deep fried pork knuckle. I found some pieces were tasty but some were too dry. Without a doubt, it was certainly crunchy.
For dessert, both of us had our eyes on the halo halo. It is a mixture of sweet beans, fruits, leche flan and ice cream all topped on a mountain of shaved ice. It tasted similar to the one I had at Max but the presentation just didn't excite me the way Max did.
Here was the halo halo from Max. Isn't it pretty? Don't you just want to dig in? That's how I felt when I first laid my eyes on it. Either way they both tasted similar but you know how you eat with your eyes first and here my eyes were drooooooling.
Would I return again? I might since it is close to my workplace. The food wasn't completely terrible but between Max and Casa Manila I definitely would choose Max any day.

The SPIDERS are COMING!
I have a huge fear of spiders, so does my Wife. We get the largest spiders I have ever seen at our house. I have done everything I can to control the other insects (their food source) since this was the only advice I could find. Problem is they wont leave and keep getting bigger! :eek:
I think they are "Wolf Spiders", they are ground dwelling and some I have seen have a leg span of 1-2 inches! I know it doesn't sound big but 2 inches is getting pretty crazy!
Anyway the war is about to begin and I need some tips of the best most nasty spider control measures I can take. Is there any thing I can put around the yard that will help? They seem indestructable! :mad:
http://www.bugsaway.com/wolfspider.htm Just looked on the "web" pun intended LOL no idea if good or not just passing it along
http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html This should help also
First of all why in the *bleep* do they make the hobo spider "jiggle" on the page? Its not like I was creeped out enough looking at it... Ugh.
I am almost positive its the wolf spider. I live in Missouri and its large, larger then a recluse and its always visable outside, day and night. They run around on the ground also, not on walls. I knew they were harmless to humans, I mean they "could" bite you though. :mad:
Anyhow If possible I would love to napalm my entire yard of all living things. I keep seeing this Demon WP advertised, anyone use it?
Thanks for the links btw
M-60 :}:} that will work, Oh Yeah 12 ga :yes:
I have chickens and they eat all bugs. I have VERY few creepy things in my house since I got the chickens. That's all they do all day long is look for and eat the crawly things. ( once in a while they will lay an egg or two, but I just put those in the fridge). I'm serious though, the chickens are the best pest control by far. If you have the room, I would recomend chickens. They are pretty maintenance free and if you don't have roosters, they are generally pretty quiet.
Demon WP has 40 % Cypermethrin, which is a great killer of a lot of insects.As does Cynoff WP.Cynoff WP has a residual of up to 3 months and this product can be added to water.The higher the % of Cypermethrin the better.The only reason I know any of this is my log home had a Carpenter Bee and a powder post beetle problem.They work great.Here is a link.
If your going to put the dust in cracks and crevices you might get a dust applicator to.The good thing about dust is that it gets on the insect and they carry it back to the den.Get em where they live so to speak. Good Luck.
I can't have chickens running around where I live. :no: But thanks for the tip!
I have been looking at Demon WP for a year now, it seems way better then anything you can buy at the big box stores. I will give it a try! Thank you!
Demon WP or any 'powder' insecticide will work best for spiders. The thing I'd suggest is to look for the source. Spiders like to be hidden when at rest. Is there a rock wall or landscaping conducive to this? Maybe some old flower pots that haven't been moved in awhile. Don't be afraid of calling a licensed bug man in for a 'free' inspection. Sure he (or she) may try to sell you a contract--& who knows you may want one.but at least they can give you a running start on what and where to look or where they are coming from.
Good Luck
Now I gotta go see this Hobbo spider.
Ps.got a couple of articles on spiders.not sure if they'll help your specific need though.
Not what your gonna wanna hear but,
I feel your pain,I'm just south here in Oklahoma and we get Wolf spiders in the fall.
I cannot begin to express how much I detest spiders and how quickly I can go in the other direction when confronted with one.
Translation-I'm scared of spiders and run like a girl when I see one.
Actually,they are disgusting and dangerous and i've been bitten by Recluse's and Scorpions many times and don't like it.
Anyway,we have 2 open acres here and last year I finally had to come to terms with the spiders moving in in the fall.
For several weeks when I sit on the couch at night one will simply appear from next to the couch/wall and proceed across the room.
The first few times I woke up the wife and made her kill them,or tossed pillows,keyboards etc until she woke up and killed it or it took off.
Doing this several times a night really started to get bad,and we were close to a hotel and a house smoking since spraying wasn't working(i'm serious about bug control)
I finally looked them up and read all about them,turns out they are actually helpful spiders and IIRC can't even harm people if they wanted to though they are extremely deadly to bugs and very poisonous.
So the Wolf spiders and I simply came to an agreement.
When I see one starting across the floor,I freeze up completely and my endorphines pump and I put my hand on my crotch and squeeze.
I hold that position till the spider is gone,then I relish the high of adrenalin I just got after living through another dangerous life altering event in small town oklahoma..
Cause I found out no matter what you do or how much you spend you won't get em all and there will be more next year.
Find your first egg sack after it burst's and when your done crying just come to terms with it...they'll eventually get us all....
Ya thats not really what I wanted to hear...:laughing:
I dont really get many in my house to be honest I find some in my basement and garage. But outside the foundation crawls with spiders. Infact when I trim around the foundation I would honestly say 6-10 spiders every time crawl up the wall. And this is per 12 foot section or so. Its insane. I know I can't get rid of all things nature in my yard, and spiders in general are very hard to eliminate. But I am thinking from two directions here. First some will die from insecticide, I can't tell you how many dead spiders are in my basement and garage from spraying. So if I use something outside and inside entry areas maybe the demon WP I should take some of them out. Then I was thinking of nuking the living crap out of my yard. Maybe a monthly parameter and complete yard application of insect control. This way if I lower the "food" level for the spiders maybe some more will be gone?
I was thinking of just using napalm once a month but my city said no. :no:
Have you tried that stuff before?
The knock down power is great,and the residual factor seems to be working just as well as the knock down power.Combined with the Demon WP I do not have any troubles with Creepy Crawlers. A good friend of mine had always ask me how I keep the crawlers from the house,He to has a really bad phobia.He now uses the two and is quite happy or should I say ,his phobia is down to a minimum now.......................... :thumbsup:
Outside of gas and a match this sounds great! Going to try it out, thanks for the link and information! :thumbsup:
