THIÈS, Senegal – The U.S. Army hosted a dismount patrol training exercise for militaries from various nations as part of the Combined Joint Task Forces Western Accord 14 mission June 17-20.
Exercise Western Accord is a key element in a broader series of military-to-military activities to demonstrate the strong partnership between the U.S., United Nations, Netherlands, France and other regional African partners and participating militaries.
The Ghanaian Army was the first to partake in the dismount training exercise.
"This exercise is great because it is helping us to build relationships with the U.S. Army," said Cpl. Richard Aboah, engineer, Ghanaian Army.
Staff Sgt. Christopher Hines, infantryman, Company. A, 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, went over the basics of team, squad and platoon level combat formations.
"We're learning new formations like the wedge, which we call the arrowhead in our country, and line formations so we can use them as part of our military combat movements," Aboah explained.
The most difficult part for them was the hand and army signals, Hines said.
"A lot of the movements were the same," Aboah said. "The only major differences were the hand and arm signals."
"They're catching-on pretty fast," Hines said. That's what makes this experience worth it. They're willing to learn and use what we teach them as part of their own tactics."
This exercise is one of many the U.S. military plan on using to help build a strong partnership with other regional West African nations.
"We enjoy working with friendly American Soldiers," Aboah said. "This training is fun and the relationship between us is very nice."

Perfect dress for Summer! A tank top and a little fabric and you too can have a high waisted dress that's comfortable and chic!
Tank top to Dress Refashion from Talk 2 Trees
Perfect dress for Summer! A tank top and a little fabric and you too can have a high waisted dress that's comfortable and chic!
Tank top to Dress Refashion from Talk 2 Trees
Girls of all ages can sport some 4th of July "bling" with this faux technique! Plus ruffles and appliques for a unique look!
DIY Faux Necklace top – A Couple of Craft Addicts
This started as a long sleeve t-shirt – I can hardly believe it, because this striped fabric looks as though it was always meant to be a tank. I love the tutorial done by Jen because it's very thorough, and you'll be able to put together a tank of your very own in no time. Visit her to see how it was done.
Tutorial: Upcycled Striped Bow Tank at Monkey See, Monkey Do!
I find this refashion to be impressive for so many reasons. It uses an old silk blouse and an old white shirt that you wouldn't even recognize, and it also uses a German pattern magazine from the 1940s. Combine those things together and you have a beautiful vintage shirt. So unique, so lovely. AND it looks great with jeans! Count me in.
Original Vintage Refashion at Of Dreams and Seams
Summer is coming quickly, so I am eyeballing my pile of long sleeve t-shirts to figure out how to get rid of some of the old ones. This great idea not only removes the sleeves but also adds a fancy ruffle to the front! Can't wait to make one for myself and swing my ruffles around like I own the place. Try it for yourself by following the simple tutorial.
Shirt Refashion at Young and Crafty
Plain tank tops aren't hard to come by, especially at great prices. If you have some scrap fabric in your stash, you can easily makeover a tank into a designer-inspired find, just like Ali did. Her tank is make to look like one found at THE best clothing store in the world – and you won't believe how easy it was to pull together.

Leading for Performance Programme
Rexam is the world's second largest consumer packaging group and a leading global beverage can maker. Rexam Plc serves a number of markets, including the beverage, personal care, healthcare and food markets. Rexam's turnover is approximately £4.6 billion and they are a member of the FTSE 100.
A principal business of Rexam is their beverage packaging operation. This area developed its own business school, delivering training and development opportunities for their employees, who are based in over 20 countries.
Partnering with Lancaster University Management School
Rexam recognise that leadership is one area that gives them a competitive advantage in the packaging market. They decided to partner with Lancaster University Management School to develop a leadership programme that is focused on improving the performance of their people around the world.
Leading for Performance, the programme designed in partnership with Lancaster University Management School, allowed delegates to gain a deeper understanding of what they mean by leadership and how they lead in every-day situations. The programme aim was to help delegates understand and improve their own leadership capability, and thus improve the competitive position of Rexam as a business. The programme first ran in 2008.
Residential programme
The programme was residential at Lancaster and ran over three days. The three days were informed by and structured around the central concepts of the Rexam Way – trust, teamwork, recognition and continuous improvement. The exercises used were designed to allow delegates to gain a deep understanding of these concepts, and of how they are best put into practice.
The course began with a reflective process that included talks, outdoor reflective exercises and discussions, to uncover and explore the various approaches to leadership that delegates bring with them. This included an exploration and deeper understanding of the leadership cultures from each of the countries represented in the room.
The focus then changed slightly to help delegates develop the key leadership capability of gaining a deep understanding of their organisation. This was done through a focus on the business model of Rexam. Delegates worked through business models for their own part of the business, highlighting how all the areas are connected, how they drive revenue and generate costs for the business.
The Rexam Leading for Performance programme received excellent feedback from delegates year on year. The partnership between Lancaster and Rexam has proved to be an extremely productive one, helping to develop the leadership capacity and competitive edge of this multi-national business.

If you have poplar trees in your area (especially female cottonwoods) as we do here in the historic and soggy Hudson Valley do the following:
Open the roof and walk in front of the vehicle. (You should only do this with the engine off and the transmission in park!) Look at the fabric wind screen. Mine was completely white from filtering the cotton like seeds out of the air. Fortunately it cleaned off easily with the dry terry cloth towel I keep next to my seat.
Re: Pano roof tip
Thanks for the tip. In Calgary Canada we have Cotton Wood Trees which are in full bloom now. I will take the hint and check my Grand Cherokee with the Pano Roof per your instructions.
Re: Pano roof tip
Just wanted to bring back this seasonal tip for those of you who were not with us at this time last year.
Re: Pano roof tip
Re: Pano roof tip
The cottonfall just started here today so I kept the roof closed for just that reason. We also get tiny bugs stuck in the fabric and they don't wipe off so easily. I'm waiting for them to decompose. :whistle:
Re: Pano roof tip
It collects vegetables too? Amazing. And I thought it was for sifting insect protein only.
Re: Pano roof tip
I found a Cessna 172 in mine. :D Also cleaned off with a dry towel.

The High-Tech Cow
Adam Davidson/NPR
On today's show, we visit Fulper Farms, a family-run dairy in New Jersey. It's a bucolic setting — white farmhouse, rolling hills, etc. But behind that peaceful image lies all the roiling tension, rising inequality and economic volatility of the 21st-century economy.
We meet Claudia, the prized, high-tech cow. We meet Claudia's neighbor, Cow #6. And we learn why even a barn full of Claudias wouldn't be enough to keep a family-run dairy afloat.

Search Engine Optimization acts as the very tool that helps your website birth the kind of information needed to succor a thriving website for your business. Sounds useful, doesn't it? Well, it gets a little bit more complicated. In order for your website to produce the endless answers for every question a person asks, you need what is called "algorithms." These little puppies are the worker bees in the hive of your Phoenix SEO, and they make it possible for that data to be churned into search results. To be able to keep your website alive and well, you need these algorithms to keep people searching for what they need; this generates a bigger buzz for your website and establishes it as the number one go-to site.
So let's break it down in simple terms so you can get a better idea of what you need to do to engender these finite calculations into the leading ingredients for your SEO. The words you use will determine what the search results spits out. If someone is searching for cat accessories, then the search engine condenses the solution to the key words being used; in this case, "cat" and "accessories." Titles are also crucial because search engines pay close attention to page titles, seeing as how they summarize what content is inside that page. This is arguable the second most important aspect of your SEO. The page title is at the very top of your browser and it's also what shows up on Google when people look for you; having an effective page title is an absolute essential. Next up is links.
When a certain web page is linked to another, it's really a form of suggestion to readers letting them know that the particular website being promoted has credible information; a web page can garner significant attention in the search engine depending on the number of links being transmitted to it. The words that are in the links play a role too. If your web page says, "Guitar Center has a lot of guitars," and the word "guitar" is linked, then the search engine can delineate that "guitarcenter.com" is related to the word "guitar." So when someone searches for guitars, then that website fares well as being highly ranked. Finally, search engines look for sites with captivation and original content, along with an exponential number of links; this determines a website's popularity and well it ranks among the others. And those are really the basic components that are used to create an SEO with sustainable content that helps your website to flourish.

Hyperloop Physics 101 With Elon MuskBy
On Monday afternoon, Elon Musk, chief executive officer of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, unveiled his much anticipated Hyperloop. We've published all the details on this super-fast new mode of transportation, along with an interview with Musk. Still, this event offers an opportunity for a little seminar with Elon Musk, physicist. For those of you ready to geek out and then some, here's Musk—University of Pennsylvania physics undergrad, Stanford applied physics materials science PhD-dropout, and SpaceX rocket designer explaining some of the fundamental properties of the Hyperloop.
Tell us about the basics of the design. You have pods, with skis on the bottom, zipping through tunnels put under low pressure. Why did you pick this design?
The pods will ride on air bearings. The pod produces air, and it's pumped out of little holes on these skis. This is something that is used quite a bit in industry. You can move huge, heavy objects with very low friction, using air bearings. In the consumer sense, people would be familiar with air hockey tables, except in this case the air bearings are being generated by the pod itself, as opposed to the tube.
You don't want the tube to be expensive. Because the tube is so long, you want the expensive stuff to be in the pod.
Ahead of the release of the details of the Hyperloop, some people said what you were proposing sounded impossible because it would require too much energy to get something through a tube at such high speeds and long distances.
There were guys questioning the energy that would be required to move the air and the pod. They didn't quite appreciate that it's not the air that is moving the pod. The pod is accelerated to velocity by a linear accelerator, which is basically a rolled-out electric motor. The air in the pod is going maybe 200 to 300 miles an hour, and it is low-density. So some of these guys were thinking: 'Oh, the air is sea-level density, and the air itself will be the thing that pushes the pod.' But that is not the case.
You do want to have a continuously circulating loop of air so that you are not losing energy by letting the air slow down. But it is more efficient to have the pod go faster than the air. If you just try to pump air—particularly at sea-level pressure—through what is effectively a 700 mile loop, the energy required would be extremely high if you wanted that air to go fast because of friction against the side walls of the tube.
How would the linear accelerator work that gets the pods going?
It's actually a linear electric motor. It's a very basic thing. They have been around for a very long time. The air skis in the pod would have a thin row of magnets—you don't need much. The linear motor would electromagnetically accelerate the pod. It would be just below where the skis are. It just creates an electromagnetic pulse that travels along the tube and pushes the pod to that initial velocity of 800 miles per hour.
About half a dozen re-boosts would be needed between San Francisco and L.A., but the linear induction motor size needed for re-boosts is much smaller than the initial one.
How would you slow down?
When you arrive at the destination, there would be another linear electric motor that absorbs your kinetic energy. As it slows you down, you put that energy back into a battery pack, which then provides the source energy for accelerating the next pod and for storing energy for overnight transport.
The solar panels would be laid on top of the tubes. You would store excess energy in battery packs at each station, so you could run 24-7.
Have you looked at some of the drawings that Rand came up with or the ET3 concept?
I wasn't familiar with either of those before, but I have learned about them now. The Rand approach was not practical because it relies on a pure vacuum and it's a tunneling approach. You have to tunnel some phenomenal amount of earth. It would be really expensive. You would have to make tunnels 100 times cheaper than they currently are.
The ET3 approach uses essentially a vacuum tube above ground. It is not exactly a vacuum tube because they never technically get to a vacuum. But the level they are talking about is not practical. It is worth noting that they have been promoting their thing for 20 years and still don't have even a little demonstration prototype. They are also relying on superconductors, and you would have to carry liquid nitrogen on the pods. These things are not without their challenges. Let me put it that way.
How many people helped you with the Hyperloop design?
There are probably about a dozen people, between SpaceX and Tesla, who I have asked to vet some of the ideas and make sure that my calculations are right and contribute any ideas that they can to the mix. One of the things they very quickly pointed out was that we don't want to have a wind speed in the tube that is too fast. The energy taken up by the friction of the air column against the tube will be prohibitive, which is exactly what other people have pointed out. If the column of air is too dense or moving too fast, you just generate too much friction.
There are some ideas floating around about using linear acceleration to help put rockets into space. Could the Hyperloop technology be applied to SpaceX?
No. People who say this have no idea what they are talking about. Even if you were hell-bent on doing ground-based rocket booster acceleration, you certainly wouldn't do it in a bloody tube! The best way to do that would be to mount a humongous linear induction motor to the side of a steep solid rock cliff on a tall mountain that is near the equator. That would be extremely complicated and expensive and you would always have horrible logistics issues. Or you could just increase the size of the booster by 10 percent to 20 percent and not worry about all that.
This is one of my pet peeves—along with space solar power, which is such an obviously dumb idea that it blows my mind that some smart people would suggest it. If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.

Holley 650 DP vs. Edelbrock 750
Which carb would be better on a mild built SBC? I like the fact the 650 is a double pumper and you know it will open up when you floor it. The Edelbrock being vacuum secondaries will not open as quick, but it will flow more because its bigger. I have a choice between the two and I can't make up my mind.
This is a street car that will see the strip on occasion.
Thanks for your time
How many CI? Double pumpers are great for thier application, but the mechanical secondaries are not as forgiving as the vaccum secondaries on that 750 Edelbrock.
The Edelbrock will only take what it needs as where the DP is more of a "controlled fuel leak." either should work fine as long as your above about 350ci. Anything smaller and I would suggest something else. I have and use both including a 4165 650DP, a 4160 600cfm and 2 500cfm edelbrocks, (all properly tuned). I like the EB for the "set it and forget it" stay in tune deal, but the DP is more open to and fun to tune.
I like the DP's over the Eddy units mainly because I'm more use to the Holley. A buddy and I have a 72 318 Dodge Demon with a 650 on it. It runs 13.50 @ 102 with a stock converter. It's pretty slow off the line with a 2.2 60' and doen't turn on until about 3000 rpm. It's fun to run someone with a faster dialin and surprises them when they think they have it in the bag and then it walks away from them lol. If you know how to set up your carbs, either one will run pretty dang good.
Thanks for the replies, my engine is a 406. Most would say go with a 750. I never go over 5500rpm, sometimes just 5000. I've heard a double pumper will bog if you don't have it set up right. Thats why the vacuum secondaries are more forgiving.
Thanks for your time
I had a 750 DP on a 383 Mopar years ago and if I nailed it really quick, it would pop but it never bogged but after a minor adjustment, it was fine. Had a 650 on a 360 in a pickup and it never popped or bogged and the 650 that's on the 318 never does either. Another car, a 440 with a tunnel ram and 2 750 DP tunnel ram carbs popped one time in a full season of racing. All vehicles were automatics with factory stock hipo converters. Do ya know anyone that has one or the other that you could borrow? Too bad you ain't near me as I have just about every DP made up to 850 plus a 950 HP....I think a 650 would do just fine on a 406 or even a 750....
Thanks for the reply. Last year I tried my brother in law's 750 DP and I couldn't tell a very big difference over my 600 Holley. It wasn't enough to pay $450 for a new 750. It did hesitate if I hit the throttle real fast. It was tuned to his car and not mine.
Thanks again

Building relationships between Latinos and conservatives
The Leadership Institute presents "Growing Our Communities," an ongoing commitment to building relationships with America's diverse communities. The first stage in our long-term commitment begins with events for both conservative and Hispanic activists.
The Leadership Institute, in partnership with the Heritage Foundation and Faith & Freedom Coalition, has developed these events to communicate more effectively the values that bring Hispanics and conservatives together. The series of events, Issues that Unite: Latinos & Conservatism, will give participants insight into the nexus of politics and the media.
Topics will include:
-- Public Policy: Hispanics, economics, education, and family
-- working with Hispanic media
-- effectively communicating our values
The Leadership Institute's Campaign Management Workshops build on Issues That Unite. Understanding the Hispanic Community is one thing; engaging and winning over Hispanics is another. The training from LI's Campaign Management Workshops will teach you how to run a winning campaign.
Topics will include:
-- design and build a winning campaign
-- research the electoral district
-- build coalitions
-- identify and activate conservative minorities
-- develop a persuasive message that resonates with minorities
-- raise funds for your campaign
-- turn out your supporters and win
Join us at an upcoming event in your state
More needs to be done in order to reach out to this important community. This is why the Leadership Institute and its partners invite you to be part of an exciting opportunity. Please sign up and attend an ITU event in your state.

Issues That Unite: Latinos and Conservatism
Why this project matters for conservatives
The influence of Latinos in business, politics, and American culture is growing at a dramatic rate. But their involvement in the conservative movement has not matched that pace.
Latinos are the country's largest minority group, at 50 million individuals or 16.3 percent of the population according to 2011 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Between 2002 and 2007, the number of Hispanic-owned businesses increased by 43.7 percent. Today, 2.3 million Latinos own their own companies.
The political attitudes of second-generation Latinos –- those whose parents are U.S.-born -– tend to be more favorable to conservatives, demonstrating the opportunity to share and increase support of the principles of limited government, strong national defense, and traditional values.

Marine Sciences Program
Carroll University offers access to majors in marine biology and oceanography via a cooperative arrangement with Hawaii Pacific University (HPU). Students spend their first two years at Carroll, learning fundamental principles in biology, chemistry, and math as well as completing general education requirements. The final two years of the program are spent at Hawaii Pacific University, where students learn about the principles of Marine Science in greater depth.
The objective of the Marine Science Program at HPU is to help students gain a scientific understanding of the world's oceans and the life they contain, and a sense of appreciation for their beauty and fragility. Students are given a theoretical framework in the basic and applied sciences as well as ample opportunities to get hands-on experience conducting laboratory and field observations and experiments. Lecture and laboratory facilities are located on the Hawaii Loa Campus of Hawaii Pacific University.
The campus is only a twenty-minute drive from Kaneohe Bay, a large natural embayment protected from the open ocean by the only true barrier reef in the Hawaiian Islands. This bay serves as one of the finest natural laboratories in the world for studying the marine sciences, and its protected nature allows HPU students to do field work in almost any type of weather. Students also have access to the research and educational facilities of the Oceanic Institute, a center for aquaculture research and educational partner of HPU.

Chaz Bono Is Looking Good, Heads To Lunch With Friends [PHOTOS]
Chaz Bono has not had it easy. What with being the only child of super-couple Sonny and Cher, to his sex-change operation and of course his elimination from Dancing With The Stars (hey, it was a tough one). But somehow, he's made it through and is looking mighty happy these days.Let's be real,
Chaz was spotted grabbing some lunch with friends in West Hollywood. Obviously they went to my favorite restaurant–Le Pain Quotidien–and did not invite me. Rude. I'll forgive it this one.
Chaz is looking quite good these days. I'm digging the beard. Lauch the gallery to check out all the photos and tell us what you think. Also, I'm still trying to find the "Cher" in him. But honestly, lady has had so many surgeries who even knows what Cher really looks like anymore?

Commodity Charting Technical Analysis
Commodity Futures Charting Technical Analysis & Fundamental Analysis
Technical Analysis vs. Fundamental Analysis
While the market's function is price discovery, an analyst's function is price forecasting in order to make profitable trades. There are two basic approaches to market analysis -- technical analysis (of market data) and fundamental analysis (of market environment).
Technical analysis is a method to forecast price movements of individual commodities and/or entire markets by looking at purely market-generated statistics abstract summaries of price activity. One tenet of technical analysis is that all market fundamentals are depicted in the actual market data. Thus actual market fundamentals and various unquantifiable meta factors, such as the differing opinions, hopes, fears, and moods of market participants, need not be studied.
Another area of interest is that history repeats itself, such that markets move in fairly predictable, or at least quantifiable, patterns. These patterns, generated by price movement, are called signals. The goal in technical analysis is to uncover the current market's signals by examining past market signals.
Prices move in trends. Technicians typically do not believe that price fluctuations are random and unpredictable. (Most reject the weak-form explanation of market efficiency and dismiss the random walk theory.) Prices can move in one of three directions, up, down or sideways. Once a trend in any of these directions is in effect it usually will persist. The market trend is simply the direction of market prices, a concept which is absolutely essential to the success of technical analysis. Identifying trends is quite simple; a price chart will usually indicate the prevailing trend as characterized by a series of waves with obvious peaks and troughs. It is the direction of these peaks and troughs that constitutes the market trend. Technical analysis attempts to determine the strength and direction of the trend and the change in the trend direction.
The building blocks of any technical analysis system include price charts and technical indicators, which are merely mathematical representations of market patterns and behaviors. (Other types of technical indicators, such as sentiment or flow of funds, have limited value in commodity trading.) Forecasting models usually include at least one type of indicator in relation to a particular type of price chart and look for divergence or continuity between indicators and price to determine the validity of a trend. Let's examine some of the types of indicators used in technical analysis:
Commodity / Futures Price Chart Patterns and Indicators:
You will never go broke taking a profit. Take a small profit over and over and over again. Better to take a little profit than to hold out trying to double your money again and again. Remember, double or nothing will eventually get you nothing
Chart patterns are hills and valleys, shapes and curves that develop over time on a chart which often indicate changes in price direction.
Like bar charts patterns, candlestick patterns can be used to forecast the market. Because of their colored bodies, candlesticks visually represent greater detail in their chart patterns than bar charts.
Point and figure patterns are essentially the same patterns found in bar charts but transposed on charts with no time scale.
Technical indicators
Trend indicators smooth variable price data to create a composite of market direction.
Market strength indicators describe the intensity of market opinion with reference to a price by examining the market positions taken by various market participants.
Volatility indicators describe the size of day-to-day price fluctuations independent of their direction.
Cycle indicators determine the timing of a particular market patterns.
Support and resistance indicators describe the price levels where markets repeatedly reverse.
Momentum indicators determine the latent strength or weakness of a trend as it progresses over time.

Things You Should Never Say to a Radio DJ
We all have challenges in our jobs. Doctors, Teachers, Food Service Workers, and yes, even Radio DJs. In fact, a lot of us can be a little touchy when it comes to our jobs. Here are a few real world examples of why:
"Do you also have a real job?"
No, actually, this is our "real job". Many of us work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, like most full time workers. And that's only the official hours we work. Not including community events, charity volunteering, and overtime. Again, like most employed Americans.
"But you just play music"
Believe it or not, playing music is only a tiny part of our duties. In fact, these days, we don't really have to do anything to play the music. It's all digital. Most radio stations haven't spun records or queued up CDs in years. So, actually, "playing music" really isn't a big part of what we do on a daily basis.
"You don't look like you sound"
I never understood this one. This also goes along with "you sound cute". What does "cute" sound like exactly?
"Do the radio voice"
Yes, there are still some radio personalities who, as we say, "puke" on the air. That is, put on a cheesy, overdone performance. But most of us just talk. Sure, we've learned how to talk to sound relateable and friendly, but most of us don't put on a "radio voice".
"My friends all say I have a great voice and I should be on the radio"
Many of us went to school to study broadcasting. All of us have honed our skills and techniques over years. There's a big difference between having a good voice and knowing how to use that voice. The best analogy I make when I hear this one is, "I have a really steady hand, can I take your appendix out?"
"Is that your real name?"
Usually, no.
Those being said, most of us are friendly, normal people who are happy to chat and answer questions that you may have. The best rule of thumb, though – if it's a question that would offend your kid's teacher if you asked it, it might be better to rephrase it.

When Elvis met Nixon, and inspired a U.S. comedy movie
By Jill Serjeant
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The most requested photo in the U.S. National Archives is not the first moon landing or the burning twin towers after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
It is actually a picture of President Richard Nixon shaking hands with Elvis Presley in the Oval Office in December 1970 after the meeting between two pivotal figures in 20th century America.
"Elvis & Nixon," a comedy movie that reimagines their unlikely White House encounter, opens in U.S. theaters on Friday after premiering at New York's Tribeca film festival. It is distributed by Amazon Studios.
Kevin Spacey (Nixon) knows a thing or two about playing a president after years as the scheming Frank Underwood on the TV series "House of Cards." But Michael Shannon, who plays Presley, was just 3 years old when the singer died in 1977.
"We weren't, either of us, trying to do caricatures," Spacey, who spent hours listening to tapes of Nixon and watching video of the president, told Reuters in an interview.
There are no records of what exactly happened on the day when Presley requested a meeting with Nixon in a bid to become an undercover federal agent-at-large, and found a bond with the president over a shared dislike of the counterculture.
Nixon had not begun his secret Oval Office recordings, so the screenwriters relied largely on first-hand accounts from Presley confidant Jerry Schilling and Nixon aide Bud Krogh.
Shannon, whose Presley is quiet, lonely and reflective, never imagined himself playing the "King of Rock 'n' Roll." Continued...

How Do You Spell Geek? (edition 1996)
by Julie Anne Peters
Work details
How Do You Spell G-E-E-K? by Julie Anne Peters
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a great story about making desicions on your own when it comes to who your friends are. The girl in the story becomes friends with the new students, despite her friends making fun of her and teasing her. I loved this novel for its message of acceptance and anti bullying.
How do you spell geek? l-u-r-l-e-n-e! Kim and Ann are preparing for the National Spelling Bee competition but their world is turned upside down when a home-schooled, geeky girl comes between their friendship. Lurlene has never been to public school and Ann is her guide. Everyone hates her because she is different but she starts to grow on Ann which in turn, makes Kim not want to be around Ann. Lurlene doesn't understand why everyone is so mean, making Ann realize her own values of being materialistic and judging someone based on outside appearance. Lurlene turns out to be a great speller and enters the competition. Kim has been training so hard while Ann downplays her own ability to be a great speller. In the end, it is Ann that wins the competition with Kim and Lurlene on her side to help with further training.
I really like this book because it does show how people are judged based on their looks. Lurlene would wear overalls and cowgirl boots and people would tease her. Ann tried to ditch her but the more time spent together, the closer they became. In the end, Kim still did not want to be Lurlene's friend but she did not want to lose her friendship with Ann so she agreed to work together. Ann grew confidence in herself and saw who her friends were through this process.
Ann is the main character of this short novel.

Bloomberg Bans Food Donations to Homeless Shelters
As someone who volunteers at a food bank, this makes fire come out of my ears:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's food police have struck again!
Outlawed are food donations to homeless shelters because the city can't assess their salt, fat and fiber content, reports CBS 2's Marcia Kramer.
Glenn Richter arrived at a West Side synagogue on Monday to collect surplus bagels — fresh nutritious bagels — to donate to the poor. However, under a new edict from Bloomberg's food police he can no longer donate the food to city homeless shelters.
It's the "no bagels for you" edict.
"I can't give you something that's a supplement to the food you already have? Sorry that's wrong," Richter said.
Richter has been collecting food from places like the Ohav Zedek synagogue and bringing it to homeless shelters for more than 20 years, but recently his donation, including a "cholent" or carrot stew, was turned away because the Bloomberg administration wants to monitor the salt, fat and fiber eaten by the homeless.
Billionaire Bloomberg, this is insane. Food banks and homeless shelters are really hurting. The crappy economy has caused people to cut back, or stop, donations of all kinds, i.e. food, money, toiletries, while the number of people using homeless shelters and food banks has ballooned. If my memory serves, visits to the food bank where I volunteer have increased 75% over the last two years.
You're a very nice man (I say through clenched teeth) to worry about people's salt, fat and fiber intake but this isn't the way to deal with that. For God's sake man, reverse this decision. People could literally starve to death.
Romney: Latinos Will Vote For Me!
This is Mitt Romney on Sunday:
20% of the votes are in, and yet CNN has called it for me. Apparently the reason they were able to make the call was that with only 20% in, 83% of the people of Puerto Rico, or those who voted, voted for me. So that's a pretty good start. So I intend to become our nominee and I intend to get Latino voters to vote for a Republican and take back the White House. We're going to get that job done.
Thank you to the people of Puerto Rico. Thank you to Governor Fortuno and Luce, his wife, ah, thank you to Zorie [sp?] and all the other people in Puerto Rico who helped us have this extraordinary victory and by the way, 20 delegates — all the delegates that were in that contest — are ours so that ah, that's good news.
Conservative principles are applying in Puerto Rico and those people who don't think that Latinos will vote for a Republican, need to take a look in Puerto Rico and see there that conservative principles and Latino voters go together. And that Hispanic voters are going to vote for a Republican if we stand for something, conservative principles that bring growth and good jobs and rising home values. That's why we're going to win. We're going to get Latino voters to help us out.
Sounds pretty good huh? Unfortunately, the cheering crowd didn't knew a few inconvenient facts: (1) Only 130,000 people voted in the Puerto Rican primary so that means Romney got (I'm worse that terrible at math) something like 118,000 votes. Hardly a sweeping endorsement by Latinos as a whole. And (2), there's this: a Fox (for God's sake) poll showing that no matter who the Republican nominee is, pitted against Obama, that person would only get 14% of the Latino vote.
So, all this lofty talk is just a bunch of hot air right now.
(Whoever the Republican nominee is, I bet money they'll pick Marco Rubio (R-FL) as their running mate for these very reasons.)
Romney's Dog Seamus Getting Revenge From the Grave
From Public Policy Polling:
Mitt Romney's 'dog problem' has received tons of media attention in the last week so we decided to do a poll about it. Here's what we found:
-20% of voters have a favorable opinion of Romney's treatment of dogs to 29% with an unfavorable opinion. These numbers suggest that the Seamus story has gotten around enough for people to have a negative view of Romney on dogs, but 51% with no opinion indicates the story hasn't penetrated that deeply yet.
-By contrast 44% of voters have a favorable opinion of Barack Obama's treatment of dogs to 14% with an unfavorable one. Apparently voters think he's taking good care of Bo. Asked who would be a better President for dogs, 37% of voters pick Obama to 21% for Romney with 42% not holding an opinion either way.
-68% of voters think it's inhumane to put your dog in a kennel on the roof of your car to only 14% who consider it humane. On this there's a bipartisan consensus- 74% of Democrats, 66% of independents, and 63% of Republicans think it's inhumane to strap the family dog to the top of the car.
-Whether this is really an issue that's going to hurt Mitt Romney in the campaign is a different question though. 55% of voters say it makes no difference to their vote, while 35% say it makes them less likely to vote for Romney and 7% more likely.
Most of the people who say the Seamus incident makes them less inclined to vote for Romney aren't voting for him anyway though. Among Romney voters just 17% say it makes them less likely to vote for him to 75% who say it doesn't make a difference and 6% who actually consider it a positive. Among undecideds 29% say it makes them less likely to vote Romney, 14% more likely, and 56% say it doesn't make a difference.
Romney laughs about the Seamus issue but it's influencing voters. Oops. Good for you Seamus. You're getting revenge from the grave.
(Who straps a dog to the roof of their car in an "airtight" crate (link immediately above) and of the crate was airtight, how did the dog breathe??? Guess he must have lied about that part.)

Vatican Inquiry Finds Progress in Irish Abuse Scandal
The Catholic Church in Ireland has made "excellent" progress in addressing a sexual abuse scandal and reporting new abuse cases directly to the Vatican, but would-be priests need better screening and training, according to a summary of a nearly year-long investigation issued by the Vatican on Tuesday.
So the Catholic church investigated its sexual abuse scandal and found it had made "excellent" progress? Of course it did!

Distributors and producers are now very concerned about the dates that they release their movies because they want to make sure that they get good opening at the box office that allows them to earn the money they have invested in the films. Recently, we have seen that Salman Khan starrer Bodyguard went against the typical Friday release trend and producers decided to release it on Eid and results are very much in the favor of the distributors as Bodyguard managed to break all past collection records. Now, other producers and distributors are trying the same to make profit.
Karan Johar has recently announced that he will be releasing the movie on January 26, 2012 instead of January 13 which was the earlier date. This is because this is one of the big movies that will be launched under Dharma Productions and Karan Johar knows that releasing the movie on Republic Day will definitely boost the ticket sales at the window because it's a National holiday in India. The producer tweeted that Agneepath is now releasing on the 26 of Jan 2012.
However, it seems that all the movies releasing on Republic Day might get split business because there are many more movies coming up on the same date. Karan Johar might feel that he has the best star cast in the film and the movie is already been hyped. However, on the same day there are two big movies coming up. The first one is Tezz which is produced by Venus Films and it has Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Kangna Ranaut and Sameera Reddy. On the other hand, Dibakar Banerjee is releasing Shanghai which stars Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi and Kalki Koechlin. It looks like Karan Johar is going to have a tough competition at the box office this Republic Day.

"Angelic Art: Sky Stickers were perfect for my daughters baby shower. The art work & quality of the product was exceptional.

Onstar Remote Start
I'm sure (for those of us who live in the cold winters and work many minutes away from our vehicles parking lots) GM could invent a system that allows we owners to emit an electronic command either through ones cell phone/land line... to a service center that would remotely start our engines via the same system that On Star utilizes. If this can unlock a door I'm sure it could start an engine. GM charges a fee for On Star already. Another added option would be a great idea IMHO.

Re: Onstar Remote Start
AGREE 100% Tom. This option, as you call it, could become a reality if there's an added charge. I'm sure the technology exists. Would it be profitable for GM? From what I read they will NOT release the numbers regarding how many actually subscribe to On Star once the free period elapses. In other words, I don't think this is a very lucrative product for them. If that's indeed true another high tech option alike the system you referred to would be hard to justify financially speaking. Remember, GM is in a cost cutting mode. You're thinking though. Something that's missing at times at GM.

fwiw, i could give two shits about this or any name someone chooses for their child. and neither should anyone else, especially a judge. if a member of the WBC wanted to name their child "Godhatesfags" i could care less.
ironically, it's the Christian right which is always complaining about the gov't taking away their liberty. i'm pretty certain that a judge renaming your baby is quite an intrusion into personal freedom, and more specifically religious freedom. me thinks some conservative Christians may have a hard time squaring this circle.

It's okay. I don't think you should feel bad about it. I believed the La-a thing when I first heard it, too, and it was only after I heard it again that it started sounding suspicious to me. It's a funny story and usually isn't told in a malicious way, whatever its origins might be.

PHOENIX – The White Sox's initial plan calls for Andruw Jones to get the majority of his at-bats as a designated hitter. The 10-time Gold Glover has more ambitious intentions.
The 32-year-old Jones, who signed a one-year contract worth $500,000 – plus a possible $1 million in incentives – said he lost 15 pounds in the offseason through diet and running. Jones believes his improved conditioning will help him extend his career and give him a chance to play more frequently in the outfield, even his longtime spot of center field.
With the Texas Rangers last season, Jones batted .214 with 17 homers and 43 RBI while playing 53 of his 82 games as the DH. He also saw some time in the outfield corners and at first base.
"Can I still do the job? Yes, definitely,'' Jones said. "Of course you lose a step as you get older, but experience helps you. People talk about Derek Jeter losing a step. Well, he's thirtysomething (35) and has played his position for a long time, but he's more experienced and knows how to position himself.''
The White Sox's failed pursuit of Johnny Damon leaves them with Jones and Mark Kotsay as the likely DHs. Manager Ozzie Guillen said Jones would be an option in the outfield on some days, though he'd rather not move players around much and considers Alex Rios his regular center fielder.
Guillen praised Jones' improved shape and renewed desire for the game after two seasons as a part-time player. From 1997-2007, Jones never played in less than 153 games while with the Braves.
The White Sox hope he'll help make up for the power they lost with the departure of Jermaine Dye and Jim Thome. Jones has 388 career homers.
"If Andruw hits the ball to the alleys, he can hit 25 home runs without trying in our ballpark,'' Guillen said. "The thing that killed him about his game plan was, he hit so many home runs, all he thought about was being a home run hitter.''

Saft sees little impact from Airbus dropping lithium-ion battery
PARIS (Reuters) - Saft S1A.PA said on Monday that the decision of Airbus EAD.PA to drop use of its lithium-ion batteries in the A350 jet would have limited financial impact on the French battery maker.
John Searle, the chief executive of Saft, said the decision announced by Airbus would have no impact on sales this year, and almost none in 2014.
"In reality the aerospace market is not what fills the factories of lithium-ion battery makers; each contract is worth a few million euros of sales a year," said Searle.
"It's clearly a business that it important for us in the medium term in terms of brand image, but represents only a minor part of our sales."
Airbus dropped lithium-ion batteries of the type that forced the grounding of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner (BA.N: Quote) and will use traditional nickel-cadmium batteries in its crucially important next passenger jet, the A350.
The European planemaker said on Friday it had taken the decision to adopt the batteries used on existing models in order to prevent delays in the A350's entry to service next year, amid uncertainty over the potential fallout of Boeing's problems.
Saft developed the lithium-ion battery for the A350 but is also expected to supply the fallback solution as Airbus's main supplier.
Lithium-ion batteries have been in consumer products such as phones and laptops for years but are relatively new to industrial applications such as back-up batteries for electrical systems in jets or energy storage on wind farms.
Their main advantage is that they are lighter and more powerful but they are sensitive to mishandling and can ignite. Continued...
