The superfights were great.
Big Thanks, I hope you run another event soon.
Dont forget that one of the super fights both fighters had conflicting information about the fight times, Leo thought 10 mins and Eduardo thought 6 (Bit weird seeing as the clock said 10, the last fight also had 10 on the clock and the demonstration was 10) - thats what the stoppage/confusion was all about. No idea why Eduardo did not man up and actually give the audience an extra four minutes - perhaps the advantage of nearly passing an open guard got to his head or maybe conditioning - whatever it was it was a good show outside of that

Is Leo back in the UK for a while now? Where will he be teaching?
He is teaching in Bristol at Pedro Bessa's academy. It was good to see him again - a very humble dude indeed and the best instructor I have met yet
Show some respect, and get your information straight before you post!
The fight was advertised on the website as a masters fight (which is 6 minutes long) which is the time Eduardo was told. Leopoldo emailed to ask for confirmation of the fight time and was told 10mins (I believe the person doing the emails/website may not have known the difference between adult and masters fight times.)
So Leo was told and went in prepared for 10mins and Eduardo was told and went in prepared for 6mins.
Just to clarify a demonstration can be as long as you like and the previous fight was an adult black belt fight which is 10 mins long.
Unfortunately the miscommunication wasn't realised until 2 minutes into the fight. From then on you had a bit of a no win situation for everyone involved as it was unfair on Leo to shorten the time, unfair on Eduardo to lengthen the time (as the more advanced guys on here will know you are going to be playing a different game for a 6 min fight than you are for a 10 min fight). and both guys were understandably upset. There was some discussion between the 3 referees and the fighters and the match resumed.
At 8 minutes the match was stopped again (time called by the ref), at this stage Eduardo had scored an advantage for an attempted guard pass and Leo had yet to score. There was some further debate with the refs and the fighters, with Leo wanting the full 10min fight and Eduardo wanting the 8min compromise between the 2 times. (as i couldn't hear what the refs were saying I can't comment on whether an 8min compromise time had been agreed but the ref was the one that stopped the fight) then both fighters were stood up and the match continued for another 2 mins during which time Leopoldo scored an advantage making the score 1 advantage each. The ref held both hands up at the end calling it a draw (something that shouldn't happen under IBJJF rules, in which the referees need to make a decision).
So yes after agreeing to, training for and fighting the first 2 mins for a 6min match, Eduardo then agreed to an extra 2min for a compromise time and when he would have won (as he was an advantage up) he then fought the extra 2 mins (which they were stood up for, rather than continuing from the same position) making the full 10mins at the end of which it was a draw!

yes Pippa, as I said. eduardo was told 6 and Leo 10. I show respect when its deserved
In my opinion the disputes over time effectively made it a no contest.

New Appendix (© 2000-2009) to
As stated on our main euchre page, and in the back
since initial publication on March 1, 1999 (additions
to the first edition, incorporated in the second, follow) :
Also published in 1844, reported by David Parlett in The Oxford Guide to Card Games, was Thirty Years Passed Among the Players in England and America, a memoir by the English actor Joe Cowell, in which he spoke of seeing both Poker and Uker being played on a steamboat journeying from Louisville to New Orleans in 1829.
Parlett has discovered also that the euchre term march is not to be equated with marching like a soldier but comes from the German Marsch, a playing card term that means losing all the tricks.
Parlett has written that he thinks the odd spelling euchre might have been coined by someone hearing the German word Jucker the name of the Alsatian game from which euchre derived and comparing it to the sound and spelling of the Eucharist.
Other old books solely about euchre, not previously reported in The Columbus Book of Euchre or in Catherine Perry Hargraves History of Playing Cards and Bibliography, have surfaced on the internet: The Game of Euchre, and its Laws (T. B. Peterson & Bros., Philadelphia, 1850, author unsaid); The Law and Practice of the Game of Euchre (title page, but Euchre and Its Laws on the cover), by A Professor (134 pp., Peterson, 1862 an 1877 edition with 10 additional pages was titled The Law and Practice of the Game of Euchre to Which Is Adşded the Rules for Playing Draw Poker); Euchre How to Play It (123 pp., ca. 1886, Grifşfith, Farran, Okeden & Welsh, London and Canberra, author unsaid), and Euchre and How to Play It (34 pp., 1897, United States Playing Card Company, Cincinnati, author unsaid) in addition to the previously reported John W. Kellers The Game of Euchre (1887), Berkeleys ╔cartÚ and Euchre (1890), and Progressive Euchre (ca. 1890).
And the Professor turns out to be Charles Henry Wharton Meehan, law librarian of the Library of Congress.
Reviews of two new books on euchre also have been added: The Complete Win at Euchre, by Joseph D. Andrews, at page 79, on January 15, 2005, and Euchre Strategies, by Fred Benjamin, at page 80, on April 19, 2007.
Revision (February 12, 2009; thanks to Lyle Filkins): On pages 44-45, there was an error in description. The entire section on the finesse, initially added to the book on July 5, 2003, has been revised to read as follows:
Finesse: The dictionary calls a finesse an attempt to win a trick with a card lower than one out against you. More precisely it is a calculated guess that the card that can overtake your candidate is not on your left.
Say you pick up the jack of diamonds to go with ace of diamonds, ace of hearts, and two little clubs, one of which you dump as your partner takes the first trick with the ace of spades. Your partner then leads the queen of diamonds, and the opponent on your right plays the king. If the left bower is on your left, you catch it going up with the right only if its unguarded. But if you play your ace, youll take the trick if the left is on your right or buried; youll take the left on the next trick if your right-hand opponent has it with no second guard, and youll sweep if you or your partner has a winning club.
In bridge or spades its about 50-50 where the hurter is, without other indications; but in euchre the odds are better because it could be buried. And even if the left comes down on your ace, youll get an end play on the next trick, and with a tenace if you have two trump left.
A finesse may give you your best protection against a euchre, also; and it can work on defense, too, particularşly when the maker is on your right. Think of the finesse as an end play with a risk. Youre in the middle.
Correction and addition (December 22, 2008; thanks to Paul McCreary): On page 39 (in later printings; its on page 40 in earlier printings, on page 60 in the first edition), under Dont go alone with 8 points, hands to go alone on with 8 points (in games to 10 without lapping of points to the next game and without money premiums on points): An excuse for going alone at 8 is having five nearly sure tricks (having five sure tricks is no excuse) and needing to keep your partşner out of the lead. One example is when you have the lead and the left, ace and king of hearts, in trump, and two aces outside. If your opponents have the right bower, you are not going to sweep anyway; but if your partner has it and no trump to lead back, one of your aces could get ruffed. Another example: As dealer you hold right-left-queen of hearts and ace-king of clubs outside. You dont want your partner trumping the first trick and unşable (or too unwise) to lead trump to the second. In both examples your partner is more likely to squelch the sweep than to support it.
Footnote to term Edinburg fault,
Correctional addition (October 8, 2005) to the maxim on page 40, Never order a bower to your partner (unless youre going alone), and never turn down a bower: Well, never say never. There are exceptions, mainly at scores of 8 and 9 points. You dont need a loner at 8 or 9, and it may be OK to turn down a bower when the opponents have 8 (you dont want to get euchred).
Correction (June 11, 2005; thanks to J. T. Martin): On page 39 (in later printings; its on page 40 in earlier printings), under Dont go alone with 8 points, the money game we play (resulting in a $4.25 payoff at 13 to 0) is for a quarter a point (not a quarter a trick) and a dollar a game.
(Dont lead the suit turned down) (new, September 17, 2004 add at end of essay on What to lead; page 59, first edition; page 61, early printings of second edition; page 63, later printings of second edition):
(Whatever you lead to open a hand, dont lead the suit turned down. Theres a reason the dealer turned it down. He doesnt have any. He will trump it if you lead it. This is so elementary that this whole paragraph is in parentheses. I added it only because there was some space left on this page and I got an e-mail from an expert who mentioned that he had never seen this admonition in any euchre book. So, here it is. Like all rules, this one has exceptions, of course. Dont ask.)
Safety (new, June 20, 2004):
I have never been comfortable with the term donation for ordering up an opponent with the intention, or at least with the likelihood, of getting euchred in order to hold the opponents to a score of two points on the hand. Not infrequently the order will result in a score for the player ordering.
Where I grew up in Southern Indiana this ploy was called the Columbus coup. But there are a growing number of euchre players who do not know where Columbus Ohio is, let alone Columbus Indiana. So, obviously, we need a better term for this ploy.
The better term is "safety." It is not wholly unlike a "safety" in football (and not only because the opponents are likely to score two points on the play in euchre, as they are guaranteed in football). In fact, the two games should trade terms: "Donation" would be a better term for the football play (since, although it is usually unintentional, it always gives the opponents two points); and "safety" would be a better term for the euchre play (which is always intentional, and is intended to limit the opponents to two points, but sometimes gives them nothing, and scores instead). The issue arose in one of my columns.
Accordingly the item "Columbus coup" in the PLOYS & AXIOMS section of The Columbus Book of Euchre has been rewritten this date, as follows:
The Columbus coup is one of the most eso-
teric tacştics in the bag of the good player. It
consists of ordering up for the purpose of being
euchred, to squelch a loner in the opposition (its
better to lose two points than four). Some call
this a donation; some, a safety. The coup
developed from a principle known as Ordşering
at the bridge. When a team has 9 points, it is
said to be at the bridge. If the dealers team
has 6 or 7 and you are in the lead and at the
bridge, you must orşder up whatever is turned,
according to this principle, unşless you have a
sure trick in the suit turned. In this manşner you
guarantee that the dealers team will not take the
game on that hand, or even tie the score. Cor-
respondingşly, if you and the second player pass,
your partner must order if he has two reasonably
sure tricks, since he knows that you, having passed,
have one sure trick. This and other basic princi-
ples of euchre are eloquently explained by Paul H.
|Seymour in Laird & Lees Hoyle Standard
Games (Albert Whitman & Co., Chicago,
1952. Seymours euchre article contains
also an excellent section on leading).

Engaging the Columbus coup when your
opponents have fewer than 6 points is called
the Bubinski. It is highly intuitive, as it
depends on a sense of a loner in the oppo-
sition. But often it is a good move. The most
appropriate time for the Bubinski is when you
have at least six points and your opponents have
fewer than 4. In that case, you will retain your
lead even if euchred; and the euchre will not put
your opponents within range of winning the game
even on a lone hand on the next deal.

about second-hand low, and you should
always trump your partner's ace at third
hand if you can with a trump higher than the
nine (using the nine would be a waste, of
course, since, if the fourth player can trump,
he can overtrump. And if you're at fourth
hand, your partner's ace already has won
the trick). Euchre, reasons Bobby, is too
short a game to allow for recovery from

he makes his point quite forcefully (and he
makes it loud). But I don't agree with him.

sticks or pencil and paper as you do in the

Some players allow no trump and low
Some (I know of such a group in Alabam-

trump and low trump in
four-handed euchre. But in most circles no
trump and low trump are tabu in four-
handed euchre. I think thats because four-
handed euchre is exciting enough the way it
is (just like straight poker for high stakes,
with nothing wild and no low ball). The
use of no trump and low trump in two-
or three-handed euchre, however, gives
those games a little spice they otherwise
would not have.

I never believed Joe Pa covered it up.

Whether the facts in Freeh Report would hold up in a court of law is perhaps open for debate, but I never bought the idea that JoePa was naive or that he lacked knowledge or control of anything that happened at Penn State, even towards his later years. He is one of the brightest men to ever grace a football field, and he was the single most powerful man at any major college program, and rightfully so since he literally built the place. When Sandusky mysteriously retired the year after being named assistant coach of the year and at the peak of his career in 1999 at age 54, and then years later we all learn about his evil acts, I was instantly convinced that JoePa knew exactly who his buddy was long before McQueary came to him. The Freeh Report did back this up with facts (again, you can debate how pure and unassailable those facts are). You can believe what you want to believe, I will do the same, but I was glad that at least one independent source had a shot at digging through evidence before the statues were put back in place and the horrors that JoePa allegedly/possibly knew about were buried 6-feet under (or a lot further down) with him.

Burnham MPO-IQ versus Buderus G125BE Oil Boilers
I have decided to replace my 50-Year old American Standard oil boiler (tankless coil) with a new oil-fired unit. Four adults live in a 1,700 ft2 ranch with 1,500 ft2 basement. We have 145 feet total length of Al-fin baseboard heating, all on the ground floor. I will be adding baseboard heating to the basement in the future. A heat loss calculation indicates a 90,000 btu/hr rate for the house.
I don't believe the MPO is one of the models that Burnham has had a problem with.
I'd stay away from a 90% efficient oil fired anything.
Thanks for the quick response. What is the reasoning behind your statement regarding that one should stay away from a 90% oil-fired boiler?
Doesn't take much to soot them up, and clog them. So you end up paying to have it cleaned twice a year, and using up any thing that you saved in oil, over a 83 or 85% efficient one.
Do you own either one of these models?
No. I do service a couple MPO's though. And just have never been real impressed with the Buderus oil line of boilers.

Pontiac 400 vs. Pontiac 455
I just bought a 78' Pontiac trans am that has the 400 engine in it. I found that the block is cracked. The machine shop said they could repair it for $250 but I have a friend with a running pontiac 455 that i can pick up dirt cheap. Does the 455 perform better than the 400? Im not to familiar with pontiac and I was wondering if the 455 would just drop right in. Let me know if theres any kind of little things i need to change such as pullys or flywheels, or should I just spend the extra bucks on fixing the 400 block. The car is going to be built for street/strip. :rolleyes:
should drop right in, only thing you might want to check on is your accesory bolt holes. if the 455 is older it may not have all the bolts holes on the heads. not sure about the flyweel or balancer.
2 cents worth
jeffs right, many times the boss is there but not bored and tapped. use a block plate. More ci mean more power al else being the same. The common mistake is all else being the same. If for example your volumetric efficiency is 95 percent in one it has to be the same in the other. And that is a function of many things.NEVER SIMPLE ANSWERS. M
To make the installation easier, try to get the pulleys and accessory brackets that are on the 455. It may save you from looking for ones that will work, but most of the stuff from the 400 should work, if you use all of it.
One thing you may encounter is motor mounts as ones for a 455 are slightly different than the 400, these are readily available, get ones for a 71-76 as some were factory equipped with a 455. The 455 is a torque engine so keep the rpm's under 5500 with stock parts. Otherwise it's bolt in.
400 verus 455
the 455 is a much better engine that the 400 and the 421. You should be happy with it.
It should be obvious which one I prefer, but I still like the 400. All the 455 really needs is a cam, some headers, and maybe a set of heads depending on which ones it has on it now. Get us a pic of the center exhaust ports, there should be a number cast into it like 6H, 6S, 6X, 4X or 7H1.. We can tell what heads it has then and if you should swap them or not.
Otherwise use the heads from the 400, they will increase the compression a little and bolt right on. You wont have any problems getting the pulleys and accessories to line up then. Or like Creech said if you can get the stuff that came with the 455 use that, because the water pump pulley is a different size to slow down the pump speed. It will still work with the 400 pulley if you cant get the 455 pulley, just a different diameter, and they should all have the same offsets unless someone swapped in a 67 earlier era front cover.
350, 400 and 455 use the same balancer and flexplate, so no worries there. They are internally balanced and most flex plates are drilled for both large and small pattern torque converters.
The F body mounts from 70-76 wont work on the 77-81 cars, but the 455 should have the bosses to use the brackets the 77-81 cars use to mount the engine. You cant find those mounts in stores, they are stamped steel and all you can get is the frame mount, so dont lose them. Just use the ones you have since most 455s have both mounting bosses. This is what the mounts look like on the 77-81 cars with Pontiac engines. I can get a pic of the 72 455 mounts if you like, they are different.

For a couple of days now, my XBMC won't let itself sync with the remote control with the android app installed on my Galaxy S.
I know the App is working fine, and that my network is not causing any trouble, since I'm able to remote control my desktop xbmc but not my laptop one (it was working perfectly fine before). Windows firewall is not the issue either since I'm able to control the laptop with Unified Remote (android app) over WiFi.
By surfing the web, I understood that the problem was caused by the webserver of XMBC: it doesn't start anymore. Indeed, no remote, but no web interface either (it's correctly configured).
Moreover, I'm not able to change the web interface port number, since XMBC is crashing every time I try. More specifically, I can change the port number, but after, I can't exit the settings menu and the GUI disappears completly.
Like this:
You can press "S" on the keyboard, but after pressing "Enter", it crashes again:
Here is the debug log associated:
I tried to freshly install XBMC, but it didn't change anything and I'm getting the same issue with "xbmc.exe -p".
My config is:
PC Portable Toshiba A500-18T
Windows 7 pro 64bits
Intel core 2 duo P7450 2.13Ghz
4 Go Ram
Carte Wifi Realtek RTL8191SE PCI-E

Thanks for your help.

That all looks fine. I can't see any reason why the webserver should run into a problem.
I'm sure this problem was reported in v10 of XBMC, but I can't remember the reason. I think it might have been some unfortunate interaction with the firewall or anti-virus. Try deleting C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\portable_data to clear out any old config files then run XBMC in portable mode. This should create a new C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\portable_data directory with default settings. If it still crashes then it would suggest something on your system causing the problem.

What should I do? puppy agression?
Hi guys me again, so I am completely at a loss for words right now with Odin, with our family he's the perfect dog, calm, relaxed, and extremely loving, but with strangers he just pulls a complete 180, in the 10 months that we have had him, he has attacked 3 people, has never bitten anyone, but has jumped on them snarling and barking, WE HAVE gone through 3 obedience classes with him, but he is just so fearful of people he's never met before, always on guard, and never really fully paying attention, I am just so worried that one day he's going to cross the line and bite someone, and we would have to put him down, our breeder told us that if we did ever have problems with him she would gladly take him back, which now half my family is considering, I don't know what I should do, and what would be fair to Odin, the last behaviourist that came in here suggested that we put him on prozac to help calm him down,
What are your guy's thoughts?
It would be a good idea to find a trainer who specializes in these type of behavior disorders. When you say obedience classes I am assuming a class at a local petstore or such? You may have to look outside of your local area to find the right person.
How old is he and and what age did you bring him home? I know that GSD's if not socialized often behave like you describe.
He might act to feelings. or might not be the " right" hand. give hime back if the breeder will take him or, toughen up:). (warm wishes coming ur way).. You tell a dog what to do, it never works the other way around.:)
yes ob training does not work on a hard dog:). You should find the right kind of trainer to help you and your dog:)
Clearly you have a liability on your hands. This dog, if you dont give him back to the breeder or put him to sleep, needs to be managed intensely. You say he's attacked 3 people. When someone says attack, I dont think of it as "oh hey nobody was really hurt". I see stitches, a new fear of dogs, etc.... If this dog is not okay around outsiders, he needs to be kept away from them. Not even allowed to interact with them. It obviously stresses him out more than he can handle.
Speaking from experience, managing a fear aggressive dog can become an extremely stressful task, especially when it lasts for years. In our case, our fear aggressive guy has been going downhill the last few years and he's reached the point that we're deciding when to take him to the vet and release him from whatever demons are floating around his head. He's 8. He's been a wreck since he was about 2. Do whats best for you, your dog and your family. Living in fear can cause a great deal of stress on your dog.
You need to find a good behaviorist to figure out where this fear is coming from. Is it genetics? trauma? A combination of things? Whether or not it's "fixable". An obedience class isn't going to do anything for your dog. No one here can really help you without being able to physically be there and assess the dog and his behavior. If you do decide you cannot manage this dog then you should start by contact your breeder. This dog sounds like a liability so rehoming really is not an option.
1>>> keep him away from strangers. muzzle him.
2>>> find a behaviourist and manage him.
3>>> if you can't manage him give him back to
the breeder.
some dogs are off no matter how well you
train them, no matter how well you socialized
them, if you use the best beaviourist that
practices you can still have problems.
good luck.
I disagree with most of the advise here, so I may well be 100% wrong. I would work very hard at socializing him even more. Start with people he knows or will be around some of the time, and add some people that are alerted to his behavior. and aren't afraid of dogs. It is usually the little unconscious nervous signals that people do that sets a dod off. BTW, one of the ways to train a dog to be aggresive is to hold them back when someone comes around. I got lucky & my Maggie loves almost everyone & thinks strangers all love her. I took her for walks around the neighborhood almost as soon as I got her & encouraged everyone to pet her. One thing for sure is that you have to be the boss & all rules of yours have to be followed.
Best of luck
One more thought, I think in this situation an electric collar could be invaluable.
You say you have had him 10 months - is that his age?
A good vet - preferably one with EXPERIENCE with working dogs and their drives can tell you if Prozac/Flouxetine can help. Typically the goal is for it to calm the dog enough that the TRAINING you are undertaking to change the behavior problem can be more effective.
I would say quite a bit of easy socializing at his pace should be tried before writing him off. That said, some things you can fix, some things you can only manage.

Splits59 Women's Running Pants with Pockets
It's the question every runner struggles with when she hits the pavement: What do I do with my valuables and keys? The answer of course is running pants with pockets. Splits59 women's running pants with hidden pockets were imagined for both performance and style. Breathable fabrics that dry quickly in full-length or capri-length styles with discreet pockets for whatever she may need to carry create the function, but it's the bold prints, mesh or cut-out accents and limited edition designs that create a look that won't be forgotten. Splits59 innovative garments meld the latest in technically advanced fabrics with sleek silhouettes and a directional attitude for the woman who believes that sweat is sexy, running is a way of life and living boldly is the driving passion.

Thanks, everyone, for your fabulous feedback! It definitely helped! I've made my decision - due in part to all of your votes, but mostly because Brent plopped down on the couch next to me last night and said, out of nowhere, "I like #5." He actually had an opinion! I assumed he didn't, but it turns out he did.
My little flower girls will look fabulous in dress #5! That dress was also my favorite, but it was pretty close, hence the blog voting.
Thanks for helping me plan our wedding!

This morning, in order to keep up my monetary policy knowledge, I decided to peruse the statement from the June meeting of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors– you know, the guys who get together and decide what monetary policy is going to look like for the next month or so. (This group has scheduled meetings 8 times a year, plus other meetings as necessary. Also, see here for a review of what the Federal Reserve is.) The document states that the Fed would continue asset purchases (read, increase the money supply via quantitative easing) by buying agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month. (For those of you whose macro 101 is a bit rusty, the Fed increases the money supply mainly via open-market operations that involve buying stuff, since money goes from the Fed to the public when it buys stuff.), It also states a target federal finds rate (the rate at which banks borrow from each other in order to meet their reserve requirements and such) of between 0 and 0.25 percent. (Interest rates tend to move in tandem, so this is basically saying that the Fed is continuing expansionary monetary policy in order to keep interest rates low.)
After reading this, I realized that the information given in the statement wasn't so helpful in isolation, since much of what I really wanted to know was how the Fed was changing its behavior from what it did the last time it met. Luckily, it's pretty easy to pull up the statement from the April/May report. I started reading it and, after a few seconds, became paranoid that I had mistakenly clicked on the June statement again by mistake, so I decided to do a comparison, courtesy of Microsoft Word's track changes feature:
Man, writing Fed press releases has got to be one of the easiest jobs ever. I am picturing the conversation roughly as follows:
Bernanke: "Soooooo, what do you want to do this time?"
Rosengren: "Eh, just do what we did last time, I have a hockey game to watch tonight."
Bernanke: "But that looks like we didn't even try- any suggestions for updates? Nothing substantial though."
Random board member: "Well, we could acknowledge that the labor market has continued to improve in a number of places, does that count?"
Bernanke: "Sure, why not…so, who wants to be the dissenter this time? Bueller? Bullard?"
Bullard: "Fine."
Bernanke: "The usual reason, or are you feeling frisky this month?"
Bullard: "Meh, whatever gets me out of here quicker."
Bernanke: "Great, now let's go have a drink. Am I the only one who's jealous that the SF Fed has a liquor license?"
Random board member: "Nice…hey, Yellen, was that your doing?"
Yellen: *smiles coyly*
I kid, of course, but you have to admit that the similarity in the statements is pretty ridiculous. This feature also likely explains why so much of the commentary regarding the statement relates to what wasn't said as opposed to what was said. Justin Wolfers' take, for example:
The most striking thing from today's Federal Reserve Open Market Committee decision is what wasn't said: How will the Fed respond if inflation continues to undershoot its 2 percent target?
Just another reminder that, despite all of the inflation warnings on Fox News, the Fed can't seem to create inflation even when it tries (and yes, inflation can be helpful in some circumstances)…unfortunately, being perceived as not trying very hard doesn't help the matter.
Update: In case you are curious as to why the market reacted negatively to this seeming non-information, it's worth noting that Bernanke reminded people in an associated press conference that the $85 billion per month in asset purchases would start winding down (people seem fond of using the word "taper" for this) once the economy is healthy again, which the Fed expects to be later this year. People are funny, since a. the reminder isn't really new information, and b. the Fed is pretty bad at making predictions, so I'm not sure why the market reacts so much to them, especially considering that the Fed specifically says it will change course if its predictions turn out to be wrong.

tunebook 1 tune.
I'm a guitar player from the Scottish Borders. I help out at a local fiddle "school" by keeping the beat, adding a bit of harmony and transcribing the tunes for players who struggle to learn/play by ear.
I'm in perhaps half a dozen different musical ensembles and "perform" about fifty times a year, sometimes for listening, sometimes for dancing.
For a living now I teach guitar as well as doing a few repairs (I used to teach mathematics).
I've written a few tunes and have the gall to post a few of them on this site (although I have done my penance). My proudest moment was when the celidh band played one of my tunes when we were "dancing" the Canadian Prawn Dance at Stonehaven Aqua Ceilidh!

Post-Inauguration Roundup: More From HU
Needless to say, it's been a long week. "TGIF" is an understatement.
If you were with us on Inauguration Day, hopefully you followed our live blogging event from the campus of Howard University. I was stationed there during the swearing-in ceremony at a campus brunch, where the Inauguration was viewed on a jumbo screen.
As a final installment of TMM's "Post-Inauguration Roundup," below are more elements from Inauguration Day at Howard University. Also, don't forget to check out the audio slideshow by TMM producers Arwa Gunja and Douglas Hopper, featuring stories from attendees on the National Mall.
"I'm reminded of the great people who paved the way for Obama. ... It tells me that our nation is not done growing, [that we are] literally capable of anything."

"Barack is not just our president. It would be unfair to demand that all he does has to be for us."

California's rejection of the Republican tidal wave is complete. After three weeks of counting, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has emerged the victor in the state's attorney general race.
She will be the first woman to have the job, and her ascension, along with former Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown and current San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, gives the state government a decidedly Bay Area flavor.
Can SoCal get a little love, please?
Billionaire Republican Meg Whitman failed to take over the governor's mansion and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina couldn't dislodge Sen. Barbara Boxer from office. Therefore in major contests Californians just said no to the GOP, which, as you might have heard, did pretty well everywhere else.
Harris was running against Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, who, though he ran as a Republican, considers himself a nonpartisan and was endorsed as such by the L.A. Times, lest we get too carried away. —PZS
Los Angeles Times:
More than three weeks after he declared victory in the race for state attorney general, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley conceded defeat Wednesday as he trailed by more than 50,000 votes in one of the closest statewide races in California history.
The decision means that San Francisco Dist. Atty. Kamala Harris will assume the post of California's top law enforcement official, giving Democrats a clean sweep of the statewide offices.

Hydrofracking: Economic Opportunity or Environmental Hazard - Or Both?
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country we bring you the unmissable quotes from political conversations on WNYC. Today on The Brian Lehrer Show, WNYC's own Ilya Marritz was interviewed about the controversy around 'hydrofracking,' the process of breaking up rocks in order to extract natural gas.
Energy companies are very excited about the potential of hydraulic fracturing, or "hydrofracking," to create millions of dollars of domestically produced energy. Many government officials and unemployed workers are buzzing about the new technology as well, because of the possibility of creating thousands of jobs in economically depressed towns upstate.
But environmental activists are finding themselves in the common, but uncomfortable, position of raining on the 'fracking' parade.
They are concerned that the procedure will pollute New York's water supply—and not only the reserves upstate near the Marcellus Shale, where the companies want to extract—but also the New York City watershed. Marritz said because the gas is dispersed in the rock, it requires a more invasive procedure to reach the gas:
You have to do a lot more to break up the rock, including blasting down huge amounts of water, chemicals and sand to break it up and really free up the gas, that's where some of the environmental problems come in.
It comes down to this: proponents say hydrofracking can be done safely, create jobs, and give New Yorkers much needed cheap energy. Opponents contend that it's a very dangerous thing, and the only way to ensure safety for all New Yorkers is with intense regulation and high taxes on energy companies.
It's also become a campaign issue. In the recent gubernatorial debate, Democrat Andrew Cuomo was cautious, Freedom Party nominee Charles Barron said Cuomo was being too cautious, and Republican Carl Paladino was ready to get started on hyfrofracking immediately. Cuomo's statements are causing a lot of agitation among both sides of the issue, because they're so vague it's impossible to define where he is likely to fall on the issue if elected governor.
We don't know what his position is on the environmental review that's now in progress. We don't know the kind of person he might appoint to be the head of the DEC, the main agency that does regulation there. We really don't know a great deal about his position. He just says 'I'm in favor of doing it safely and protecting the watershed.'
Hydrofracking has also popped up in the Attorney General race, because the person in that seat has the power to file lawsuits and use the press to call attention to the issue. Republican Dan Donovan has said he sees the potential benefits for people upstate, while Eric Schneiderman appears to be much more anti-frack.
Marritz pointed out that natural gas divides the environmental movement as well. The local and state environmental groups stand to be negatively affected the most, and have a NIMBY point of view. But some of the national environmental groups, based in Washington, see natural gas as much more palatable than coal, nuclear or oil, and consider it a unique type of energy extraction they could actually get behind.
They see something domestically available, it is relatively clean burning, even though it's not always clean to get out of the ground, and to them, they don't always want to say 'no' to every form of energy. Some national environmental groups have actually had real tension with the local people who don't like it. Because they say, 'I want to say yes to something, and natural gas has a quite a bit about it that's attractive.'

Nicole Kidman's latest vehicle of "Fur" will open the first Rome International Film Festival.
At least "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus" will have something to mark on aside from its starry cast. The drama biopic has delightfully been selected to open the first Rome International Film Festival on October 13 this year, the organizers of the event have announced Friday, August 25.
In the meantime, its leading actress, Nicole Kidman, will also make a presence on the opening day. "I love Italy and I feel great affinity with it," so the beauty said in a statement issued by organizers of the festival. "I am especially proud to be christening this important event." With this confirmation, however, Kidman's appearance inevitably will add to a debate in Italy over the rivalry between the Rome event and Venice Film Festival for she had been the headline star at the latter one two years ago.
A directorial work of Steven Shainberg, "Fur" chronicles the life of U.S photographer Diane Arbus, portrayed by Kidman, who was widely known for her strange, disturbing images. The script is written by Erin Cressida Wilson with adapting Patricia Bosworth's book of "Diane Arbus: A Biography." Other cast members include Robert Downey Jr., Ty Burrell, and Harris Yulin.

The Poetry of New U.S. Poet Laureate Charles Wright
Later today the Library of Congress will name Charles Wright as the 20th United States Poet Laureate.
First appearing in Poetry magazine in September 1969, Wright has been a frequent contributor to the magazine over the past decades.
"Charles Wright is a superb choice," says Robert Polito, President of the Poetry Foundation. "He's long been one of my favorite poets. His work, while rooted in a vivid sense of place, crosses all borders — geographic, aesthetic, and cultural. Charles is modest, but brilliant, an essential contemporary metaphysical poet. I can't wait to see what his projects and initiatives will be. He follows a truly extraordinary Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey, whose signature series with PBS, "Where Poetry Lives," was as inspired as it was inspirational. Everyone at the Poetry Foundation congratulates Charles and looks forward to working with him."
After being awarded the Ruth Lilly Poetry prize in 1993, Wright went on to receive a Pulitzer and a Griffin prize for poetry. Despite his many accolades, he has remained focused on the poetry itself, saying that he wants his "work to be paid attention to, but I hate personal attention. I just want everyone to read the poems. I want my poetry to get all the attention in the world, but I want to be the anonymous author."
And so here is a selection of Wright's poems to be given all the attention in the world:
Miles Davis and Elizabeth Bishop Fake the Break
The Appalachian Book of the Dead
If that isn't enough, you can read all fifty of Wright's poems that appear on our site or listen to him read and discuss his poetry in these 1992 recordings:

Submitted to: Journal of Aquatic Animal Health
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/27/2000
Publication Date: 12/1/2000
Citation: MITCHELL, A.J., GOODWIN, A.E. THE ISOLATION OF EDWARDSIELLA ICTALURI, WITH A LIMITED TOLERANCE FOR AEROBIC GROWTH, FROM CHANNEL CATFISH.. JOURNAL OF AQUATIC ANIMAL HEALTH. 2000. v.12. p.297-300. Interpretive Summary: Edwardsiella ictaluri is a common bacterial pathogen of channel catfish. This bacterium is normally grown without special incubation techniques. A strain of this bacterium has been isolated that grows initially only in the absence of oxygen or under anaerobic conditions. Once grown under anaerobic conditions the bacterium will grow, although only slightly, in the presence of oxygen when transferred to new growth plates. Catfish from which this bacterium has been isolated have deep brown sores (sometimes the underlying bone is exposed) with no redness (hemorrhage or inflammation) on the edges. Although the sores are not necessarily caused by the bacterium, there is a strong association between the bacteria and the presence of the sores. This study raises questions about the possible presence of other bacteria in fish not found because anaerobic isolation methods are rarely used in diagnostic procedures.
Technical Abstract: While culturing trunk kidneys from channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus with deep ulcerative lesions, we discovered strains of Edwardsiella ictaluri that could not be isolated under aerobic conditions. Upon passage of these bacterial isolates in an aerobic environment, minimal growth was observed. In thioglycolate broth, the passaged isolates had growth characteristics of bacteria with a limited tolerance for oxygen. Isolate S97-133, from May 1997, was identified as E. ictaluri by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL), Ames, Iowa. The S97-133 isolate and three others from 1994 were also definitively identified as E. ictaluri using the monoclonal immuno dot blot technique. A total of eight isolates were obtained from channel catfish over an eight year period. All isolates were obtained during the months of May, June, July and November.

Published: 2011-05-16, by Peter Warrior.
The game concept remains the same as many other Guitar Hero- like games: you have to tap the screen to the beat of the music. Get the taps right consecutively and you can win combo bonus and score multipliers. When you first download the game, there are only three good tracks to choose from, but more songs can be added to your 'playlist'. Both the free and paid tracks are of a high quality.
Not all songs downloaded are well known, so it could be a chance to discover new bands. The graphics are kind of 'flashy' and the music has a great sound quality. You can set the difficulty level from easy to hard, but take my advice: "easy" is challenging enough if you don't have a big screen (it's awesome to play TapTap4 in a tablet) or fast fingers.
There's also a TapTap community where you can vote for the songs you prefer, upload your score and chat with other players. New tracks are added more or less every week and songs already downloaded can also be played offline.
TapTap Revenge 4 is an absolute hit, developed to rock. If you've never played this kind of game before, then TTR4 is the best place to start. If you've already worn your fingernails down by tapping and battling against the screen, then it's a must-have in your collection.

text: Allison Williams was being a bit of a turncoat on her NBC news anchor father Brian Williams by doing CNN's tribute to various heroes doing heroic things the other night. I'm sure he'll forgive her. How could one not forgive a face like that? The thing with Allison that both fascinates and frustrates me is that very few photos of her can capture her true beauty. It's only when someone points a moving camera at her that things become clear on just how pretty she really is. It's only this beauty that could make me watch any significant portion of her Girls show. I'm not gonna get on another Girls rant, but despite my ire, I'll admit to not being above checking out an episode of that show a time or two, just to fast-forward to scenes with Allison. Despite whatever whining and bullshitting her character is doing, my focus is less about but what's coming out of her mouth and much more about her visual aspects. In other words, I just like to look at Allison.

Central Sudan tribe warn of war if no referendum vote
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's powerful Missiriya tribe on Wednesday warned it would fight anyone who prevented its members voting in a referendum on whether the oil-producing central Abyei region will join the south in a likely secession.
Sudan ended Africa's longest running civil war with a 2005 peace deal but north and south were unable to agree on the future of Abyei, which many fear will become Sudan's "Kashmir", a problem that could reignite conflict if left unresolved.
Abyei residents are set to vote on January 9 in a plebiscite to be held simultaneously with a referendum on southern independence, which analysts believe will result in secession.
The north says the Arab nomadic Missiriya, who spend months each year grazing cattle in Abyei, should vote in the plebiscite but the south disagrees. The resulting deadlock has stalled planning and the two have yet to agree on a commission to organise the vote due in almost three months.
"If they don't accept our votes in the referendum there will be no voting," the head of the Missiriya, Mokhtar Babo Nimr, told Reuters on Wednesday.
"We will use force to achieve our rights and we will use weapons against anyone who tries to stop us from voting in the referendum," he warned.
The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled on Abyei's borders after the north-south former foes could not agree. But the frontier has not been demarcated on the ground because of threats from the Missiriya who reject the ruling.
Eye witnesses said about 2,000 Missiriya demonstrated in the central town of Muglad on Wednesday and handed a list of demands to the U.N. office there including reviewing Abyei's borders and their right to vote in the plebiscite.
"If they don't meet our demands then we will set everything alight," said Babo Nimr. "If that leads to war then so be it." Continued...

Nebulize at 90 degree angle
I am interested in getting a permanent nubulizer system for my 3-month-old. The Pari-Baby Nebulizer System sounds good to me. However, my little girl hates mask. Do you have any mouthpiece or T-connector that is compatible with Pari-Baby and reusable? I am open to other model too as long as it doesn't have to be held at 90 degree all the time. Answer:
I do not know of any nebulizer that would not have to be held at a ninety degree angle other than the Pari Baby. However, you do not have to use the mask, using the elbow you can just aim the mist at your daughters nose and mouth from a couple of inches away. This should still give an adequate treatment while not using the mask. Pari does not recommend using any other compressors with the Pari nebs. They cannot guaranty the same performace using other another brand compressor. If we may be of further assistance, please call, write or fax us.

for Use as an Exterior Wood Cleaner
and Outdoor Surface Cleaner
For cleaning log homes, cleaning cedar siding or other wood siding, and fence or deck cleaning. Also cleans concrete and aggregate, asphalt driveways or painted siding.
- Cleans and preps wood for application of wood treatments
- The best wood cleaner for fence and deck maintenance, log home maintenance, and wood siding maintenance
Did you know that regular cleaning of your outdoor wood surfaces is the best environmentally safe method of preventing mold and mildew on wood? Also, removing dirt, pollution, and spores from your deck or siding will extend the durability of the wood stain or sealer too. Keeping your exterior wood clean will extend the life and health of your wood dramatically.
Clean & Brite is a one-step outdoor wood maintenance cleaner. This concentrated gel is a solution of phosphoric acid and mild detergents and additives designed for outdoor use. It can be diluted with water to the ratio appropriate for your own specific project.
Clean & Brite will remove superficial dirt, spores, pollution, and mild graying from outdoor wood surfaces. It does not remove previously applied stains or sealers unless they are already loose, flaking or coming off. For significantly discolored or weathered wood, or wood requiring the removal of failed oil based finishes, our stronger Strip & Brite formula is recommended.
Clean & Brite is the perfect choice for yearly maintenance cleaning of decks, siding, fences, and log homes. It does not contain household bleach which has been proven to contribute to coating failure. Household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is also harmful to the environment and continued use will make the wood pulpy. Clean & Brite, a phosphoric acid based solution, contains no bleach yet its ingredients are more effective and less harmful. Clean & Brite is biodegradable and will not harm nearby plants. It gently yet effectively cleans the wood and brightens it in preparation for treating or re-treating.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thanks for contacting me at Just Answer...
Let me see if I can offer an answer to your question
Humanistic therapy encompasses many different forms of therapy, but the one that is most associated with humanistic is Person Centered which is sometimes called Client Centered. This therapy takes the position that the client has the answers s/he is after and it is the therapists job to ask questions and listen intently to ask the follow up questions that will lead the client to find the answers s/he is after.
In group therapy, there are many different clients in the session at the same time and the therapist leads the group to discuss and challenge each others irrational beliefs. All the time, listening and leading the clients to see how there beliefs and behaviors need to change in order to make progress.
In family therapy, the therapist takes on a systemic plan of action. That is to say that members of a family each are challenged to see how their behaviors are impacting others in the family as well as how the other family members behavior is impacting theirs.
Another theory that is considered humanistic is Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy or what has evolved into the very popular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In this type of therapy, a client is challenged to see how there irrational beliefs are impacting there behavior.
Could you please list two two three differences and two to three similarities. thanks
this is for a powerpoint presentation
two to three similarities and differences are for each school of thought
Humanistic is similar to Group and Family Therapy in the following ways.... Each of these take on a "non-medical" model. That is to say that the client is not considered sick in need of an expert to "cure" them. The client is believed to have the answers for his own problem and the therapist is just there to help guide the client. Also, each of these therapies believe that people are basically good.
As for the differences..... As I mentioned above, most generally speaking, humanistic therapy is done on an individual basis. The client and the therapist work one on one to work through an issue that the ONE client is having. In group therapy, many clients are in the therapy setting and they are all have the same (or very similar) issue.
In family therapy the family is in the therapy session and the family is working together to solve an issue the family is having. Each member is challenged to see how there behavior is affecting the others and how others behavior is affecting theirs.
Sounds great!! thanks Doc. I will accept.
