No less abortive was Thorvaldsen's undertaking of a great monument intended to commemorate the re-establishment of Poland.
He entered upon this Thorvaldsen's friends task with enthusiasm.
Thorvaldsen, born a Lutheran, was a spectator in Rome of bigotry and skepticism, and took refuge in artistic impartiality.
Thorvaldsen was the son of an Icelandic sailor, who incidentally earned a living by carving wooden figure-heads for ships.
Despite the urgent requests of his countrymen, Thorvaldsen would not be weaned from Rome.
Yet Thorvaldsen did not The great sculptor's career fulfil his contract with Hope until fourteen years had passed.
On Thorvaldsen's return to Rome, his stay there was brought to an end by an epidemic of cholera.
Mendelssohn would play on the piano in Thorvaldsen's studio at Rome, while the sculptor worked on his models.
It was not by mere chance that Hegel and Thorvaldsen were born within a few months of each other in the year 1770.
I'll help you a little with your modelling, and then, after luncheon with me, I will take you through the Thorvaldsen Museum.

Archaeologists locate Confederate cannon, naval yard
Archaeologists from the University of South Carolina and East Carolina University have located two large cannon from a sunken Confederate gunboat in the Pee Dee River and have identified where the Mars Bluff Naval Yard once stood on the east side of the river in Marion County.
State underwater archaeologist Christopher Amer and state archaeologist and research associate professor Dr. Jon Leader began work April 30. The project called for locating and, eventually, raising three cannon, each weighing upwards of five tons, that were once aboard C.S.S. Pee Dee, as well as determining the location of the naval yard where the gunboat had been built.
Amer said the underwater research has been very successful, despite rising waters that have created a higher or more swift-moving current and lower visibility.
"Our underwater work hasn't been easy," Amer said. "In spite of high, near-flood water in the river, we have located two of the three cannon and have raised two 7-inch Brooke artillery shells and four 6.4-inch Brooke shells. Water operations also have located pilings from the dock where vessels were outfitted and evidence of post-war logging operations."


text: I have a Lenovo x220 tablet running BT5 R2 (GNOME if that matters). This issue isn't huge but it has me curious as to what is causing it. About 1/3 times I boot BT5, the keyboard stops responding at the login prompt. It functions fine when picking boot options in GRUB, but then the entire keyboard (not just letters/enter) stops working after that. Hard reset and another attempt usually fixes it, but not every time. Does anyone have an idea where to look first? I'm at a loss since I can't even do any diagnostics when it happens, and when it doesn't happen there's no trace of a problem.

PHILADELPHIA – It is one of the biggest events on the schedule for the University of Pennsylvania swimming and diving program: the Total Performance Invitational. Hosted by Kenyon College, this is the only meet of the year where each athlete has the opportunity to swim an unlimited number of events. Swimming will start on Thursday in the James A. Steen Aquatic Center at 5:30 p.m. and continue through Saturday evening.
A live video feed for the weekend's events can be found by clicking here.
The Total Performance Invitational has been good to the Quakers over the past few seasons. Last year, the men won their third consecutive title while the women took home their fourth. Penn looks to continue the streaks and end 2013 on a high note, with the men split at 2-2 overall while the women are 1-3 after opening the season with a win against UConn.
As the meet draws near, the athletes prepare to compete in a format they will encounter at the Ivy League Championships; however, the preparation and approach for the event is different for the two Penn squads. Hard workouts followed by days of rest will result in some of the fastest times for the men this season, as the trip to Ohio will also play a factor into determining who will compete in the Ivy League Championship. As for the women, they will continue their normal routines – a combination of work and rest.
With the swimmers able to experience races they don't usually get to swim, head coach Mike Schnur is looking forward to the meet and the speed his swimmers will bring.
"The Total Performance Invite at Kenyon is a meet designed to allow the athletes to go fast," said Schnur. "It is great fun for them to be able to experiment. It also offers distance swimmers a chance to swim their best event on the first day of the meet, instead of the last."
Full results and recaps from each night of competition will be made available on PennAthletics.com.

NU Board of Regents to Meet April 21
- 04/13/2006
- A proposal to create a major new Center for Energy Sciences Research, which is a partnership between UNL and Nebraska Public Power District to conduct research in such areas as wind generation, biodiesel and hydrogen fuel development and energy conservation. The $5 million center, with funding of $1 million per year for five years from NPPD, represents an interdisciplinary approach to developing renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency and creating new business partnerships.
- A proposed five-year memorandum of understanding between UNO and the Omaha Public Power District to develop projects dealing with energy conservation and effective use of energy. OPPD has agreed to provide $2.5 million ($500,000 per year) to fund the collaborative research.
- Establishment of the Nebraska Transportation Center, a nearly $6 million center that will bring together a wide range of transportation research, education and outreach programs currently in place on all four NU campuses. These include programs in roadside safety, bridge and infrastructure research, aviation, and rural safety issues. At least $5.5 million of the first-year funding will be derived from research grants and the federal government. Creation of a university-wide center will better position the university to compete for future federal funding.
- The proposed 2006-2015 Physical Master Plan for UNL. The plan addresses UNL's needs for academic/research facilities, "campus life" (recreation, housing, student unions, dining facilities) space, open/green space, athletics, institutional services and parking over the next 10 years. The plan addresses changes to City Campus resulting from the Antelope Valley project, creation of a "research campus" on the former Textron/Cushman plant site, 10 potential academic/research building sites on both City Campus and East Campus, and changes to entrances and access to both campuses.
- Construction of a new 10-level research laboratory (Research Center of Excellence II) at UNMC, a $74-million structure that will support research in the College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy and Eppley Cancer Center, and provide support for NU's Center for Biosecurity.
- An agreement between Iowa State University and NU for a cooperative program in veterinary medical education. This represents a final step in establishing the program.
The board's Business Affairs Committee agenda (8:30 a.m.) includes preliminary discussion of the 2007 operating budget and the 2008-09 biennial budget request. The Academic Affairs Committee agenda (10:00 a.m.) includes a discussion of student learning and success outcomes, the proposed Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research, and an agreement between the Omaha Public Power District and UNO.

Denmark has long been regarded as one of the world's most attractive nations, for citizens and tourists alike. My own visits there, years ago as a student, were delightful. And the Danes have a wonderful history of civic virtue, not least during the Holocaust. As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum notes in a web site dedicated to "The Rescue of the Jews of Denmark."
The Danish resistance movement, assisted by many ordinary citizens, coordinated the flight of some 7,200 Jews to safety in nearby neutral Sweden. Thanks to this remarkable mass rescue effort, at war's end, Denmark had one of the highest Jewish survival rates for any European country.
Times change. The latest news out of Denmark bore this headline: "Jews Warned Not to Wear Kipot, Stars of David in Copenhagen." Here is an excerpt:
- Israeli and Jewish officials in Denmark on Wednesday warned Jews to avoid openly wearing religious symbols and dress when moving about Copenhagen amid rising anti-Israeli sentiments. "We advise Israelis who come to Denmark and want to go to the synagogue to wait to don their skull caps until they enter the building and not to wear them in the street, irrespective of whether the areas they are visiting are seen as being safe," Israel's ambassador to Denmark, Arthur Avnon, told AFP. Avnon added that visitors were also advised not to "speak Hebrew loudly" or demonstrably wear Star of David jewelry, the news agency reported. Denmark's national Jewish Religious Community organization has also advised its members, and those at the private Jewish school in Copenhagen, to exercise caution. Caroline Jewish School headmaster Jan Hansen told daily Jyllands-Posten: "It is not something that we do officially, but if the issue comes up we would say (to our pupils) they should think twice before walking into certain areas of Copenhagen with a skull cap or Star of David."
It's easy enough to say that the Danish government is of course not responsible for potential attacks on Jews, but what about offering protection? Is it really acceptable that in one of Europe's great capitals someone wearing a Star of David cannot walk safely in the streets?
It also seems that Denmark's foreign policy is showing less sympathy with Jews and Israel than was once the case. Consider this report: [source]
Four European Union member states reportedly opposed an official condemnation of Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal's incitement-filled speech last weekend, leading to harsh responses from Israeli leaders that Europe was being one-sided. According to an Israel Radio report Wednesday, Denmark, Finland, Portugal and Ireland pressured European foreign ministers to condemn Israel solely for its E1 settlement construction plan at a meeting of the body's foreign council Monday.
It is one thing to criticize or condemn the settlement decision (though I would not agree with that course, as I argued @ cfr.org) and quite another to try to block a condemnation of Meshal's statement. Remember what Meshal said:
- Palestine, from the river to the sea, from north to south, is our land. Not an inch of it can be conceded. We cannot recognize the legitimacy of Israel's occupation of Palestine. There is no legitimacy to occupation, and therefore no legitimacy for Israel, no matter how long it will take. Liberating Palestine, all of Palestine, is a duty, a right and a goal….we will liberate [Jerusalem] inch by inch, stone by stone, Islamic and Christian holy places. Israel has no right in Jerusalem…
Of course such remarks make peace impossible. Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas quickly spoke out:
- Speaking to Turkish reporters in Ankara, Abbas said that he does not agree with Meshal's statements. "We recognized Israel in 1993," he said. "There is an agreement between Fatah and Hamas that recognizes the two-state solution. Meshal approved this agreement."
Alas Denmark. The Palestinian president can speak out against Meshal, but Denmark seeks to block an EU statement? And meanwhile, Jews cannot safely navigate the streets of Copenhagen if they are in any way identified as Jews.
- The Holocaust Museum web site tells us of a different Denmark:
- Germany occupied Denmark on April 9, 1940. However, Danish Jews were not persecuted until the autumn of 1943.
- When the German police began searching for and arresting Jews on the night of October 1, 1943, the Danish police refused to cooperate.
- Unlike Jews in other countries under Nazi rule, the Jews of Denmark were never forced to wear the yellow Star of David or any other identifying badge.
- Approximately 500 Jews were deported from Denmark to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia. Following protests from their government, these Danish inmates were allowed to receive letters and even some care packages. Most of them survived the Holocaust.
It seems, from this information, that a Jew could more safely walk the streets of Denmark's capital and count on the Danish government's protection in 1942 than today, 70 years later. Shameful, and tragic.

US Deploys Stealth Jets in Korea Show of Force
(NEWSER) – In a move seen as a clear warning to Pyongyang, the US deployed F-22 stealth fighter jets during joint military exercises yesterday. The Raptors, which are among the most advanced weapons the Air Force has at its command, would probably be the first aircraft deployed if a conflict did take place with North Korea, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The show of force follows weeks of saber-rattling from Pyongyang, which declared over the weekend that it is now in a "state of war" with the South and compared the US to a "boiled pumpkin" unable to withstand attack.

In a surprise decision Tuesday, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) will announce that he is suspending his presidential campaign, The Huffington Post's Jon Ward has learned and several other outlets have reported.
The Pennsylvania Republican had taken a break from the campaign trail for several days to tend to his ailing daughter, Bella. He had pledged to continue campaigning through the upcoming Pennsylvania primary. But the combination of his daughter's sickness and recent poll numbers showing him possibly losing his home state apparently prompted the early departure.

Couple guys from Jefferson Airplane riffing fuzzily and lengthily away on old blues and ragtime standards, electric guitars set to kill. Too grungy for hippie music, too meandering for rock 'n' roll. I haven't heard them in a bar since, like, 1979. As I sit there drinking my pints—16 taps, mostly local—the whole album plays. I have to admit, it sounds kinda good, but maybe that's because I'm sitting in, as the sign says, "The David J. Olson Booth for the Study of Labor and Liquid Dynamics," with a picture of himself smiling down at me, and because there are books stacked up in the space behind the booth and dogs roaming around and the regulars are friendly and the bartender good at his job. Later there are bands and singers, some of them good. It's all too rock 'n' roll for a hippie bar, too mellow for a punk one. It's very Seattle.

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: High Fashion, Arabian Nights, and Field MiceBy The Paris Review
The genre of the 1,002nd night is one few storytellers can resist. Poe wrote one, so did R. L. Stevenson, Jospeh Roth, and Naghuib Mahfouz. Some of these sequels are orientalist camp; the better ones concentrate on The Nights' true drama: that of a woman talking to save her life. I've been reading an advanced copy of Tales of a Severed Head, a collection of poems by the Moroccan poet Rachida Madani. Her Scheherazade, a voice that Madina breaks into many different voices, angrily laments the history of modern Morocco and particularly the fate of its leftist intellectuals. It is as much a critique of the legend as a continuation of it. Madina's poet is even willing, at times, to stop talking:
She is silent so she can breathe
in the empty cannons
lift and weigh the sacks of gunpowder
and take aim.
Marilyn Hacker's translation from French is scrupulous and lively. —Robyn Creswell

Brevard, N.C.-The Brevard College Tornados softball team didn't allow Young Harris College to score a run in their doubleheader sweep of the Mountain Lions on Thursday afternoon, taking the first game 5-0 before earning a run-rule shortened 10-0 victory in game two.
Game One – Brevard 5, Young Harris 0
BC scored in each of the first three innings to take a 5-0 lead going into the 4th as the Tornados collected 10 hits in the game.
Brittany Jones took home on the throw that caught Brittany Fowler stealing to put BC up 1-0 in the 1st, and Michelle Ray plated Emily Boykin with a groundout in the 2nd to make it 2-0.
BC scored three runs in the bottom of the 3rd to go ahead 5-0. The Tornados scored on a Young Harris fielding error before RBI singles from Corinne Stiles and then Ray capped the scoring for BC.
Jamie Hrobak, Alyssa Miller (W, 2-3) and Kayla Clemens combined to shut down the Mountain Lions over seven innings. Hrobak struck out the side in the first and pitched around a pair of two-out base hits in the 2nd before giving way to Miller, who allowed just a hit and walk during two innings in relief to earn the win.
Clemens finished the game for the Tornados, tossing three scoreless frames while allowing three hits and two walks.
Game Two – Brevard 10, Young Harris 0
The Tornados held a 3-0 lead over the Mountain Lions before BC exploded for seven runs with two outs in the 4th inning to earn the run-rule shortened win.
Emily Boykin and Corinne Stiles started the 4th with singles before consecutive fielder's choice groundballs left BC with runners on first and second with two outs.
Miller then singled into center to make it 4-0 before Brittany Fowler plated two runs with a single up the middle to make it 6-0 in favor of the Tornados.
BC then scored a pair of runs on a Young Harris fielding error before Boykin collected her second hit of the inning, a two-run single that put the Tornados up 10-0.
Fowler finished 3-for-3 with two RBI's to lead the Tornados offensively, while both Boykin and Brittany Tucker had two hits and two RBI's. BC had 11 hits as a team.
Hrobak (W, 5-7) and Miller combined for the five-inning shutout, with Hrobak hanging three scoreless frames on Young Harris to start the game before Miller (S, 1) entered with a 3-0 lead in the 4th to earn the save. The pair allowed only three hits in the game.
BC resumes South Atlantic Conference play with a doubleheader at Lincoln Memorial on Saturday afternoon in Harrogate, Tennessee. The games are scheduled to start at 2 and 4 p.m.

Do I have to give up caffeine in pregnancy?You don't have to give up caffeine while you're pregnant (ACOG 2010, FSA 2008, Jahanfar and Jaafar 2013). However, you should try to cut down if you usually have more than 200mg of caffeine a day.
Drinking two mugs of tea, two mugs of instant coffee or one mug of filter coffee a day will keep you within the recommended daily limit of 200mg (ACOG 2010, FSA 2008).
What happens if I have too much caffeine in pregnancy?Regularly having more than the recommended amount of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage, or of a baby being born with a low birth weight (CARE 2008, ACOG 2010, FSA 2008, Greenwood et al 2010, Matijasevich et al 2005, RCOG 2010, NHS 2013, Signorello et al 2004, Sengpiel et al 2013, Weng et al 2008).
But don't worry if you have occasionally had more caffeine than 200mg a day, as the risk from this is thought to be very small (FSA 2008, Matijasevich et al 2005).
How much caffeine is in my daily diet?Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, teas (including green tea), cola, some energy drinks and chocolate (OTIS 2011). Include all sources of caffeine when tallying up how much you've had each day:
|Food or drink
|Average caffeine content
|Amount equivalent to 200mg of caffeine
|Mug of instant coffee
|Two mugs
|Mug of filter coffee
|One mug
|Mug of tea
|Two mugs
|Mug of green tea
|Four mugs
|Can of cola
|Five cans
|Can of energy drink
|Two cans
|Small bar of plain chocolate
|Eight bars
|Small bar of milk chocolate
|20 bars
If you're having coffee out, bear in mind that the caffeine content of espressos, and coffees based on espressos, such as lattes, can depend on the outlet. One study found that caffeine levels can range from 50mg per espresso at one chain to as much as 300mg per espresso at another (Crozier et al 2012). So just one strong, large cappuccino could potentially take you over your daily limit.
Milk, fruit juice and water are healthy alternatives for caffeinated drinks in pregnancy. If you like herbal teas, remember that some contain caffeine. Herbal teas can also contain certain herbs and additives that may not be safe in pregnancy.
How does caffeine affect my baby?Caffeine crosses the placenta. So as caffeine increases your heart rate and metabolism, and makes you feel more alert, it can affect your unborn baby in the same way. This means that he may become a bit unsettled after you've had a coffee.
Lots of caffeine isn't good for your baby. Some reports show that babies born to mums who had more than 500mg of caffeine a day were, in the days following the birth, more likely to:
- have faster heart rates
- have an increased breathing rate
- spend more time awake (OTIS 2011)
However, a mug or two of tea or coffee a day won't harm your baby.
How does caffeine affect my body?If you regularly drink lots of tea and coffee, you may feel as though you need it to get you through the day. If you have large amounts of caffeine, you'll need to wee more, as it is a diuretic. Caffeine also stimulates the release of acid in your stomach, which can sometimes cause an upset stomach or diarrhoea (OTIS 2011).
Lots of caffeine buzzing around in your body can also keep you awake at night if you drink it too late in the day. This may leave you with a headache after the caffeine has filtered out of your system.
Try not to have tea or coffee with meals, as these drinks contain substances that can reduce how much iron you absorb from non-meat foods (BCMA 2010).
What else contains caffeine?Some over-the-counter drugs, including headache and cold tablets, stay-awake medications and allergy remedies, contain caffeine. Ask your pharmacist for advice before you buy over-the-counter remedies, and mention that you are pregnant.
I'd like to kick the caffeine habit. Any tips?In very early pregnancy your sense of taste changes, and morning sickness can strike. So you may start to go off the taste of coffee and tea.
If you still want to enjoy the occasional coffee or tea, there's no need to cut it out completely. Try these tips:
- Brew tea for a shorter amount of time. Steeping your teabag for just one minute instead of five minutes reduces the caffeine by as much as half.
- Try switching from brewed coffee to instant coffee, as it's slightly lower in caffeine. If you don't mind the (lack of) taste, you could also make instant coffee weaker still by using only half a teaspoon of coffee.
- You could try decaffeinated tea, coffee or cola, which tastes similar to caffeinated versions.
If you're a devoted coffee or tea fan, caffeine withdrawal isn't easy. For the first couple of days you may have:
Try to ease off gradually (Chawla and Suleman 2011), by about half a mug a day, to reduce these side-effects.

The new general manager of Salt Lake City television stations KTVX and KUCW knows a little bit about building from the ground up.
"I was LaVell Edwards' first recruit," said Richard Jones, a former wide receiver who played for the legendary Brigham Young University football coach before Edwards built the Cougars into national champions.
Jones, who was introduced to his new staff on Monday afternoon, grew up in California, but his parents were Utah natives. Growing up, he spent every summer in Utah. His daughter lives in Lehi; his brother owns Park City Television; his niece is a BYU volleyball coach.
"I thought, 'Well, shoot, I've got so many ties up there, maybe I'll go up there and do this,'" he said.
Jones, a longtime television executive and consultant, faces a tall task not unlike that of taking over a football team on a long losing streak. KTVX-Channel 4 has struggled in the ratings; it's a weak fourth in late-night news, while KUCW-Channel 30 has struggled to build an identity.
The stations were recently acquired by the Nexstar Broadcasting Group, and Jones is coming on board in the wake of layoffs as the new owners consolidate business operations at an out-of-state hub.
(That's standard TV group procedure. When Nexstar managed KUTV, before that station was sold to Sinclair Broadcasting in 2012, Channel 2 served as a hub for a group of out-of-state stations.)
"It's not an easy situation. I've had this experience before," said Jones, who took a station in San Diego from last to first in the news ratings and spent the past few years operating his own consulting firm.
"I just think there's so much potential for these two stations," he said. "And I'm excited about the opportunity to go in and create a fantastic environment. I've always found that adversity and difficulty, if handled correctly, brings people together. So there will be a lot of satisfaction in turning this around."
He said there are no plans to consolidate the local stations' news or sales staffs with the other 79 stations Nexstar owns or manages.
"Their charge to me is to do what I need to do to build up the news and do local programming," Jones said. And he's impressed by the "amazing facility" that houses KTVX/KUCW.
"There's so much more these stations can do with the facilities they have," he said. "There are some things I'm specifically looking at now to reach out and do things inside the community different types of local shows and other things that we can put together for the two stations."

About NWHM
From Our Founder
A better world awaits the generation that absorbs what women and men have to share about life from a joint perspective. We have much to work toward If we - and future generations - are to learn all the lessons of the past upon which to build the future, we must be aware of the true experiences and contributions of women. Clearly, men cannot get there alone. Together, all things are possible.
Karen Staser
Founder, National Women's History Museum
What is the National Women's History Museum?
The National Women's History Museum (NWHM), founded in 1996, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit educational institution dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the diverse historic contributions of women, and integrating this rich heritage fully into our nation's history. NWHM is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Although women constitute a majority of the population, their lives, achievements, and contributions are underrepresented in museums. Recognition of the achievements made by American women will promote a better understanding of our history and culture for all who visit Washington, D.C. In 1999, The President's Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History called for a women's history museum in Washington, DC, and specifically cited the NWHM in that role.
Obtaining a Permanent Site
From its founding, NWHM has worked hard towards obtaining a permanent museum site in the nation's capital on or near the National Mall. Such prestigious space requires Congressional approval. Click here to learn about the latest effort to secure a permanent home.
The NWHM has the support of a strong and diverse network of national organizations representing citizens throughout the country:
- The NWHM Honorary Board of Directors comprises over 200 members of the U.S. Congress and past and present members of the Cabinet.
- The NWHM has organized a National Coalition, currently numbering 43, of leading national women's service and professional organizations. Together these organizations reach over 8.5 million members.
- Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, spearheaded the NWHM national outreach campaign beginning in September 2001. In more recent years, actress Meryl Streep, authored a membership appeal, and actress Laura Dern authored one. NWHM's national membership has grown rapidly and over 50,000 people have become Charter Members.
- Newsletter – The NWHM newsletter, A Different Point of View, is published quarterly and mailed to current Museum members and supporters. The newsletter provides information on past and future educational events and programs sponsored by the Museum. The publication features seasonal stories about topics in women's history and notable American women, as well as updates on the progress of the museum.

The decision of how to secure palletized material for shipments is one that is tying many producers' hands. Along with the increasing demand for more deliveries of greater quantities and varieties of masonry products on pallets, there's an environmental concern about the zinc-plated steel straps that have been the industry-standard securing method. Before too long, zinc-plated straps will be completely eliminated. That's because more and more construction-material landfill managers are banning the snipped pieces in lugger-box debris. Many constuction-material landfills aren't equipped to process the wide range of chemicals that can contaminate their discharge water, such as the zinc that eventually dissolves from the standard steel straps.
For Don Jones Jr., Willamette-Graystone Inc. President, the decision to purchase a special automated stretch-wrapping system at the same time the Portland, Ore., plant added a new cuber was based on safety.
The automatic stretch-wrapping process reduces employees' exposure to dangers inherent in hand banding: abrasions, cuts, and repetitive motions.
Stretch wrapping has also helped in the product transportation process. If the pavers shift during handling, the film's inherent elastic tendency to retract to its original shape actually pulls units into their places. Along with a greater surface-area contact, stretch film helps retain the load's original shape. "While it's more efficient to wrap pallets with our new setup, we feel our best return on the investment is that we are shipping out better-stabilized loads," says Jones.
"Customers stacking our pallets with forklifts find the new packaging safer, and there's less onsite product loss," says Jones.
Since masonry pallet sizes vary due to unit style and cubing arrangement, producers would be better off choosing a wrapping system that uses a tower or overhead arm that can be programmed to encircle the pallet. This wrapping style is referred to as a film-tail method.
The stretch-wrapping system at Willamette-Graystone is unique and represents a truly automated system. It was specially designed and built for the masonry producer.
Producers can use a wide selection of films with various stretching properties. Depending on the film's chemical composition, producers can select a composition that can be stretched from 250% to 400% of its original length, as dispensed from the spool. Willamette-Graystone uses a film rated with a 200 stretch level. This means 1 inch of film stored on the dispensing roller yields more than 3 inches of film on the pallet. The heavier film helps the pallet retain its cubed shape. The manufacturer's engineer who designed the Willamette-Graystone setup estimates that the material cost of stretch wrapping is slightly lower than conventional steel banding.

Nice quality slipper
By X
from Y
Nice supple upper and good comfort. Not true to size - at least 1 size small. I wear a 10 1/2 or 11 and ordered the Large. An XL would have been perfect. Fleece liner seems a bit thin - not nearly as thick as I have had in other sheepskin slippers.

Very comfy and warm
Warm comfy slippers
By Mikey
from Regina, SK, Canada
I like my new slippers. They were a little tight straight from the box but after wearing them around for a day they stretched for a perfect fit. They are warm and fuzzy on the inside and the leather seems tough enough to last as long as the soles hold out.
Great indoor/outdoor/driving slippers
By Jim
from Nipomo, CA
I have purchsed other similar & more espensive, slippers in the past. These slippers are high quality, comfortable and half the cost. Great for driving moccasins and light outdoor useage. Will be interesting to see if they pass the wear- time test. These looked so good, I bought two pair. So far, not disappointed.
Slippers look good, feel great .
from Union, Mo.
I wear them around the house and outside. They're well made and should wear well. I haven't found any fault with them.

At the beginning of this production, with its squibs of historical memorabilia, vignettes, diary entries, speech fragments, and the like, one worries that 14 hours of the same might be too much. But soon the shape of Baker's narrative emerges. Drawing mainly on material from the 1930s and '40s, he gives listeners a fresh look at "the good war" and the Holocaust. We hear comments from sources as diverse as Gandhi, Himmler's masseuse, ghetto occupants, and Roosevelt, who, along with Churchill, doesn't come off too well with respect to the events that took place. Norman Dietz doesn't imitate any of the well-known voices. Instead he lets the momentum build naturally, sometimes horrifyingly, sometimes poignantly, until the impact is stronger than it might even be in print.
Praised by critics and readers alike for his exquisitely observant eye and deft, inimitable prose, Baker has assembled a narrative within Human Smoke that unfolds gracefully, tragically, and persuasively. This is an unforgettable book that makes a profound impact on our perceptions of historical events and mourns the unthinkable loss humanity has borne at its own hand.
©2008 Nicholson Baker; (P)2008 Tantor
"Serious and conscientious.... An eloquent and passionate assault on the idea that the deliberate targeting of civilians can ever be justified." (The New York Times)
"This quite extraordinary book---impossible to put down, impossible to forget---may be the most compelling argument for peace ever assembled." (Simon Winchester, author of The Professor and the Madman)
"Not a "History Book" per se"
This is a well read, informative book about WWII and related events. It is not a history book so much as a series of stories and anecdotes bringing the era to life. If you are interested in the flow of events moving to WWII, but don't like typical "history" this book might be for you.
"A great book"
This book was mind boggling and beautifully read...
Althoguh not a history bookin the classic sense, it is a must read to understand the insanity of war...
One of the best audio books that I have enjoyed!!
"Misses the point"
I hate war too. But baker bends too far over backward in damning churchill (and FDR). No "peace" would have stopped Hitlers genocidal war, it would just have given the Nazis more time.
But the source material is useful. And surely the Allies were lacking in critical ways, but not because they did not take up Hitler's hypocritical offers of compromise.
Other books do a better job of showing this.
"Disappointing for Baker fans and historians"
I count myself among Baker's biggest fans. I find both his fiction and non-fiction smart and funny. However, Human Smoke was neither in the funny camp nor in the smart camp.
There is no question that Baker did a tremendous amount of research, and, true to his nature, he went after the juciest of details--the way Roosevelt stood, or how Hitler was dressed in certain important events. In that way, certainly, some scenes came alive.
Baker's perspective, on the surface, was journalistic. His aim appeared to be to reporting "just the facts, ma'am." However, by so drawing such a clear pictured of the anti-semitic milieu in the U.S. in the late 30's (leading up to the second World War), which is a topic that is sometimes expunged from the discussion, he does take a position. At the same time, he spends much of his time talking about the anti-war effort in the U.S. before the war, which is to take a position as well.
His ideological perspectives didn't bother me, then; both interested me. It was simply that there was no analysis of the events. Here's the pattern of much of the reporting:
Mrs. X of anti-war group y protested with 56 people in Times Square. It was November 1939.
And then he would move on to the next topic.
That kind of laundry list approach made the book feel less like the work of a journalist or a historian and more like a the book report of a student who flipped through books and jotted down the facts he saw without considering their meaning.
I'm truly disapointed with such work from such a fine, capable writer.

NBA's Nets Moving Ahead - First To Newark, Then Brooklyn
February 19, 2010: The NBA's Nets continue to forge ahead with the franchise's embattled plans to move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, NY. They will take a slight detour, however, as the team said it would play the 2010-11 season at the Prudential Center in Newark, and also likely for all if not part of the NBA 2011-12 season. The team said this relocation precedes the "permanent move to Brooklyn, planned for 2012" when construction is expected to be completed on Barclays Center.
Relocation to the Prudential Center would affect the team's numerous marketing partners, many of which have naming rights to specific areas within Izod Center. The team said that it planned to address the situation.
"Our planned interim relocation to the Prudential Center in Newark represents one of the many positive steps to take place for Nets Basketball during the next few months," Brett Yormark, the Nets president and CEO, said in a statement. "This temporary move not only gives our fans a state-of-the-art arena with the first-class amenities common in most NBA buildings, but also provides our players with a great atmosphere in which to play."
The move to the Prudential Center would reunite the Nets with the New Jersey Devils, which played at what was Brendan Byrne Arena and then Continental Arena until moving in 2007. The venue became the Izod Center in 2007. The Nets will pay $4 million to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operates Izod Center. The fee could partly be offset via advertising, suite revenues and other financial considerations. The deal also includes an amendment to the Nets territorial rights, enabling the NBA to place another team in the state once the Nets move out.
"Before we make our permanent move to Brooklyn, this interim relocation to Newark enables us to continue our goal to further regionalize the team, not only in Essex and Union Counties, but also in New York City due to the direct mass transit access available between Manhattan and the Prudential Center," said Yormark. "We are confident that the NBA family will see this as a positive move, as we do. We look forward to being part of the community in Newark and will continue our extensive community outreach in the area."
Yormark accentuated that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie played a large role in helping to clear hurdles to make the intra-state move a reality.
"I'm pleased to announce a mutually agreeable resolution with the Nets organization that moves the sports industry forward, while protecting the public's interest and the future of professional basketball in the state of New Jersey," Gov. Christie said in a statement. "Now the Nets will remain in New Jersey for the next two years and play in a state-of-the-art facility, while taxpayers will see revenue from the agreement. This is a win-win for both New Jersey and the Nets organization."

Statement on Passage of the Senate's "America's Security Act"Today marks an important event. We are pleased that the Senate has passed legislation called the "Improving America's Security Act" which will implement the 9/11 Commission's recommendations.
Our work began over five years ago, when we campaigned for the creation of an independent Commission to investigate the terrorist attacks. As 9/11 family members, we exercised our right to participate in the legislative process, communicating with our elected officials. Our ultimate goal was to make our country safer without compromising the fundamental rights of Americans.
As the House and Senate bills converge in conference and head toward the President's desk, we will direct our efforts toward ensuring the final legislation adheres to the recommendations outlined in the 9/11 Commission's landmark report. We will continue to work with Republicans, Democrats and members of the 9/11 Commission toward this goal.
Today, our hearts are lighter as another milestone is reached, another obstacle overcome. We thank all the lawmakers and staff who worked tirelessly on this legislation. We are another step closer to the day when we, as 9/11 families, can rest, knowing that our country is safer, hopeful that no other American family will ever have to walk in our shoes. We look forward to the day when we can say, "Our work here in Washington is done."Carie LemackDaughter of Judy Larocque, 50President, Families of September 11Mary Fetchet, Mother of Brad, 24President, Voices of September 11th Beverly Eckert, Widow of Sean Rooney, 50Families of September 11 Carol AshleyMother of Janice, 25Voices of September 11th Abraham Scott,Widower of Janice, 469/11 Pentagon FamiliesRosemary DillardWidow of Eddie, 549/11 Pentagon Families

In a study of children in Year 4 and 6, those who had regular access to devices with eReading capability (such as Kindles, iPads and mobile phones) did not tend to use their devices for reading - and this was the case even when they were daily book readers. Research also found that the more devices a child had access to, the less they read in general.
It suggests that providing children with eReading devices can actually inhibit their reading, and that paper books are often still preferred by young people.
These findings match previous research which looked at how teenagers prefer to read. This research found that while some students enjoyed reading books on devices, the majority of students with access to these technologies did not use them regularly for this purpose. Importantly, the most avid book readers did not frequently read books on screens."...

In the forest monasteries monks have to sweep large areas with long bamboo brooms the end of which is made of the coconut palm.
Nicely shown on pictures:
[How to] การทำไม้กวาดทางมะพร้าว
http://sansook.wordpress.com/2012/10/03 ... e-a-broom/
Sometimes insight arises at the most unexpected times. This happened to me while living at Wat Pah Pong. The Northeastern part of Thailand is not the most beautiful or desirable place in the world with its scrubby forests and flat plain; it also gets extremely hot during the hot season. We'd have to go out in the heat of the mid-afternoon before each of the Observance Days and sweep the leaves off the paths. There were vast areas to sweep. We would spend the whole afternoon in the hot sun, sweating and sweeping the leaves into piles with crude brooms; this was one of our duties. I didn't like doing this. I'd think, 'I don't want to do this. I didn't come here to sweep the leaves off the ground; I came here to get enlightened - and instead they have me sweeping leaves off the ground. Besides, it's hot and I have fair skin; I might get skin cancer from being out here in a hot climate.'
I was standing out there one afternoon, feeling really miserable, thinking, 'What am I doing here? Why did I come here? Why am I staying here? There I stood with my long crude broom and absolutely no energy, feeling sorry for myself and hating everything. Then Ajahn Chah came up, smiled at me and said, 'Wat Pah Pong is a lot of suffering, isn't it?' and walked away. So I thought, 'Why did he say that?' and, 'Actually, you know, it's not all that bad.' He got me to contemplate: Is sweeping the leaves really that unpleasant?....No, it's not. It's a kind of neutral thing; you sweep the leaves, and it's neither here nor there....Is sweating all that terrible? Is it really a miserable, humiliating experience? Is it really as bad as I am pretending it is?...No - sweating is all right, it's a perfectly natural thing to be doing. And I don't have skin cancer and the people at Wat Pah Pong are very nice. The teacher is a very kind wise man. The monks have treated me well. The lay people come and give me food to eat, and....What am I complaining about?'
Reflecting upon the actual experience of being there, I thought, 'I'm all right. People respect me, I'm treated well. I'm being taught by pleasant people in a very pleasant country. There's nothing really wrong with anything, except me; I'm making a problem out of it because I don't want to sweat and I don't want to sweep leaves.' Then I had a very clear insight. I suddenly perceived something in me which was always complaining and criticising, and which was preventing me from ever giving myself to anything or offering myself to any situation.

Thanks , btw I am not a beginner , I am reading a lot and my goal is to become WLAN Pentester . Thank you

There is a program here called ghost phisher , that does the thing I need but I want to learn to do that manually , I made a bet that I 'll get my friends pass and username , so I fired up ghost phisher , deauth him from legal AP and he reconnected to my fakeAP with the same SSID and then served the fake login page and I won the bet , got his pass and username [ later I gave him his 20 euro back ] but now I want to learn what is going on behind the GUI of that program , what command etc... BTW Thanks for the answer that dd-wrt will be useful on my desktop PC
COME ON GUYS ANYBODY , there are tons of tools for that , but no explanation of them...

Sibling rivals
I am a mum of 2. The girl is 3 while the boy is 2 years old. They're both cheerful and bubbly but my problem is that they always fight in almost everything; food, toys, even mine and my husband's attention. I'm afraid they will grow up on this. I and my husband are giving them equal love and care as best as we could so that none of them would feel neglected. But still, there is rivalry between them. What should I do to avoid this? Is there any method or ways I can do to stop them from always fighting?
18th September 2013 05:52 AM #2
Dear shie84,
This issue of sibling rivalry is, as I'm sure you are aware, very common. As with many areas of gentle parenting, I would say that the main factor to consider is the overall attitude/ ethos you display towards your children and how you respond to their individual needs.
In practice, this could mean allowing each of your children to have some one-to-one parent time each day. Perhaps they could each have 20-30 minutes of your full attention (when the other child is napping/ reading/ playing with friends etc) when you can do an activity that child particularly likes doing. This activity will be different for each of your children and it is good if you can allow your child to choose the activity themselves.
Involve both of your children in caring for each other as a family. Talk, draw pictures and read books about looking after each other and being sympathetic to each others needs. This will probably be easier for your daughter as she is older but you can start to involve both of them in this process and continue it as they grow older. Some families hold 'family meetings' or just have a dedicated family talking time each day (when the children are approximately school-age) so that they can discuss how they are feeling and if anyone feels hurt or upset.
Gentle parenting does not mean parenting without guidelines. You can, and I believe should, set limits to their behaviour and convey to your children what behaviour you expect of them. An example of this would be that hitting each other is unacceptable and they will need to change task if they do so.
What is obvious from your post is how much you love and cherish your children. You and your husband sound like thoughtful, caring and gentle parents. Whilst you clearly love each of your children equally, I don't necessarily think you need to treat them the same. Dr. Sears writes about this in 20 Tips to Stop Sibling Quibbling and Promote Sibling Harmony when he writes:
'In their desire to prevent sibling squabbles, parents strive to do everything the same way for all their children, whether it's buying pajamas or selecting a college. Children aren't the same; you don't need to behave as if they were. Make moment-by-moment decisions and don't worry about the long-term consequences if you give one child more strokes than the other one day.'
I find this view very interesting and unusual yet it resonates with what I myself am experiencing, now that I am the parent of two.
In conclusion, I would try not to take sides but help your children to solve problems together. I hope you find that this philosophy helps to diffuse the conflict situations between your kids.
Please do post back and let us know how you get on/ if you need any more suggestions with this.
Best wishes to you and your family,

Good Day LJ,
I have practiced what you said about not taking side and help your children to solve problems together. However, most of the time, if not all of the time, one of them will cry and more often it is the two years old who cries. Sometimes my husband and I think that the younger one is pretend crying because she knows that we will side with whoever is crying. Sometimes I let her cry for as long as she wants, specially when I feel she is just doing it to get our attention. Is this healthy?
27th December 2013 06:11 AM #4
Dear 2jhoan,
It is better if you can respond to your children's needs rather than leaving them to cry. There is some research that indicates that leaving a child to cry (especially for as long as she wants) causes a child to become stressed. This raises their blood pressure and heart rate. In addition to the potential health implications of this, it will have an affect on your child's long-term relationship with you and will also affect how she interacts with others now and as she grows up.
When there is a conflict situation between your children an excellent tactic is just to do something really silly (like jumping around pretending to be a monkey!) in order to divert their attention, make everyone laugh and hopefully diffuse the conflict.
Another tool for dealing with these inevitable conflict situations is to change task. Children often squabble when they are bored or wanting to gain some time with their parents. If they start to squabble then you could say ok everyone out into the garden and get them running about and playing energetic games in the garden. If your children like crafts and making things then there are some fabulous, interesting ideas at the imagination tree which should keep them amused and happy.
Try to get your children to see the situation from each others' point of view. If necessary, you may have to remove the toy or get out new toys if they are both after the same toy and the conflict cannot be easily resolved.
I would encourage you to use the ideas from Dr. Sears that I shared above. Also, have a read of this Little Hearts article entitled 'To a Toddler Sharing is a 4 letter word-MINE'. I find this article interesting because it talks about how important it is that we model sharing to our young children.
With warm wishes,

John Ehret Heads Into Prep Basketball Classic as 5A Threat
Monday, December 20, 2010
This is the first in a 16-day installment of previews featuring the 16 teams participating in the Allstate Sugar Bowl National Prep Basketball Classic January 6 through January 8 at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner as well as at Country Day and Archbishop Rummel High Schools. NewOrleans.Com/Sports is an official sponsor of the event.
Allstate Sugar Bowl Basketball Page
When you think of John Ehret High School, many images come to mind.
I think about the 1981 and 1985 football state champions of 4A. I think of Billy North's outstanding football teams. I think about the hard work of Boomer Newman in baseball. I think of Dean Tessitore's fine wrestling program. I think about what was the largest school in Louisiana.
Of course, there is the large shadow of John Ehret basketball as well. The Patriots reached the Top 28 tournament in 2001 and 2002. They played for the state championship in 1992, falling to St. Augustine in the championship game. In 1993, John Ehret captured the 5A state title, beating district rival Higgins 79-48 in the championship game.

Wow is right! This almost makes me want to go back to school! Maybe later when more college books are available I'll go back for my masters..
Apple needs to increase the amount of space on the iPads though with 32gb being the minimum and going up to 128gb or so because the books are 1 to 1.5gb or more. With just 5 classes you could eat up over 7gb.
I for one "bought" this book because I was curious on how this works, it is interesting but I already know all it had to teach so did read that much of the book(I am Biological Engineer).
Thank god this is my last semester before I graduate. I don't like the idea of digital textbooks. I'm not saying it sucks because I've never done it, but I'm glad I'll never have the need to.
Saw this coming right after the 1st iPad was released. Nothing but a good idea kept hidden finally seeing the light of day. This could be the most powerful educational tool yet. There are many advantages like pictures, videos, and 3d modeling that can be used to enhance the way people learn.
I teach precal and calculus. In precal I don't see a tablet textbook making a huge difference other than being light and easier to use. In calculus, however, it can be a game changer. Calculus in short is the study of objects and situations as they move and change. To have an interactive textbook where you can actually see the things changing would be freakin' sweet.
Here's the problem, this will cost High Schools more money over time than traditional books, as they are required to provide the books for free to the students, which means they will have to purchase the iDevice for the students, the purchase the books each year as well.
What's the incentive?
Florida even has an iPad pilot program running in a number of schools, and pending the results will have a state wide 1 to 1 program for the iPad....

WILLISTON, SC -- Crane Merchandising Systems, a Crane Co. company, has announced the commercial launch of Get Connected, a cashless vending program offering credit card processing fees of 5.4% per transaction. The program follows a field trial in which Crane partnered with a new payment-processing company.
Get Connected features no long-term contracts, low monthly fees with quantity discounts and no required hardware purchase. Funds are securely delivered to customers via daily deposits directly from the payment processor, without the need to pass through Crane.
Additionally, whether connecting through Crane's new Media vending machines or retrofitting existing machines (Crane or other), operators who choose Get Connected for cashless transactions will receive MDB alerts by email, as well as daily DEX reads that can be sent directly to any VDI-compliant vending management system.

"Get Connected is a low-cost, simple and safe way for customers to increase their sales and operating efficiencies, while offering consumers the payment conveniences that modern technology affords," said CMS online solutions product manager Poch Ceballos.

Man With Golden Voice Does Kraft Commercial
Subscribe to Hot 107.3 Jamz on
Last week "Man With Golden Voice" was down and out holding up a sign asking for help. By the end of the week is doing KRAFT voice over.
Last Week's Story:
Grab a tissue. So, a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch notices a homeless man with a sign that says he has a golden radio voice. Long story short, he totally does. And the internet has made him famous. You have to watch (and listen) to this guy.
As I heard the original story the voice was familiar to me – with some research I find that Ted Williams was the voice of Canadian "Nissen Bread" in the 80's. Thank goodness Ted is getting a second chance.
