Human Diversity and the Culture Wars: A Philosophical Perspective on Contemporary Cultural Conflict
Raising the war on political correctness to a new and higher intellectual level, Philip Devine sheds fresh light on the whole question of cultural standards and the fashionable notion of multiculturalism. While acknowledging the diversity of ways of life and the differing belief systems that arise from and justify those ways of life, the author attacks the current exploitation of diversity to justify a militantly intolerant relativism. His wide-ranging and erudite work connects cultural issues to our real-world existence as biological and historical beings, pulling together ideas of bioethics, education, and the structure and purpose of families. This work will be of interest to those fighting the culture wars across the humanities and social and behavioral sciences.

Question about Magic Chef MCD1311ST Microwave Oven
I have a Magic Chef microwave Model MCO153S that stopped working after the fan turned on while I was using the stovetop. I've unplugged it then plugged it back in and nothing turns on.
Posted by dcc59 on
I have the same problem; we were warming up a cup of coffee when the oven went dead. Breakers, etc are fine
Same problem. Microwave completely shuts down after a couple of minutes and power returns after about three minutes.
I have two of these microwaves and the one that just stopped working is the newer one. Is it possible to swap out the control panel? If so. . .how?? I did not see any screws around the control panel how do you get it off? The model # is WP700AP20-6. Thank You.
I have an island stovetop with a magic chef pop up hood that doesn't stay up long enough for fan to come on. It is an intermittent problem and I don't have any schematics on it let alone model or serial number.

The Bill witnessed unusual unanimity on the matter with members from all parties supporting the measure for creative artistes whose benefits are cornered by producers
New Delhi: Song writers, artistes and performers, deprived of their dues so far, can now claim royalty for their creations with Parliament on Tuesday approving a law to provide much-delayed justice to them, reports PTI.
The Copyright Act (Amendment) Bill, 2012 was passed by the Lok Sabha, which witnessed unusual unanimity on the matter with members from all parties supporting the measure for creative artistes whose benefits are cornered by producers.
The bill, passed by the Rajya Sabha on 17th May declares authors as owners of the copyright, which cannot be assigned to producers as was the practice till now.
Noting that poor artistes had been left in the lurch as producers cornered all royalties, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said the new law will help them live a good life even in old age as they would continue to get their dues for their work during their heyday.
Moving the bill for passage, he gave examples of shehnai exponent Bismillah Khan and music composer Ravi to press home the point that the condition of such excellent artistes was pitiable as they were not able to pay even house rent and hospital charges.
The bill makes it mandatory for broadcasters - both radio and television - to pay royalty to the owners of the copyright each time a work of art is broadcast.
It bans persons from bringing out cover versions of any literary, dramatic or musical work for five years from the first recording of the original creation.
The bill received overwhelming support including from the Opposition which appreciated the government for such a step, though belatedly.
The I&B Ministry has asked TRAI to look into both horizontal and vertical aspects of cross media ownership
New Delhi: The issue of cross media ownership will be again examined by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) at the instance of the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry which has sought an examination of the issue, reports PTI.
Sources said that I&B Secretary Uday Kumar Varma has written to new TRAI chairman Rahul Khullar on 16th May in this regard.
"Major players are looking for expanding their business interests in various segments of print and broadcasting sectors. In this scenario, issue of media ownership and the need for cross media restrictions assumes great significance," Varma wrote in his letter to Khullar.
Sources said that the I&B Ministry has asked TRAI to look into both horizontal and vertical aspects of cross media ownership, and then give its recommendations. In his letter, Varma has written that at present companies have control and ownership across print, TV and radio leading to horizontal integration.
While at present there is no restriction for a company to have ownership across Radio, TV and Print mediums, but apprehension have been expressed in the past that control of media organisations in a few hands may prevent plurality of news and views, official sources said.
Varma, in his letter, is also learnt to have said that there were other implications related to cross media ownership including ensuring quality services at reasonable prices.
The I&B secretary has further asked TRAI to look into the issue of vertical cross ownership where companies owning TV channels were venturing into various distribution platforms like Cable TV distribution, Direct to Home (DTH) and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV).
The letter also points out that many companies, which own distribution platforms, were entering television businesses.
Sources said that the I&B Ministry felt that there was need to address these issues and measures needed to be put in place to ensure fair growth of the Broadcasting sector.
They said that TRAI had earlier in 2009 examined the issue of cross media ownership and based on its recommendations, the government had also sponsored a study through the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).
The ministry has written to TRAI that with the convergence of various technologies in the recent years, the role of different players in Broadcasting needed to be looked at again so that measures allowing fair growth of broadcasting sector can be put in place.
Sources said that once TRAI examines all aspects on the issue and releases its recommendations, the government could then release guidelines on media ownership based on the telecom regulator's recommendations.
Vodafone India's service revenue grew 19.5%, driven by an 11.8% increase in the customer base, strong growth in incoming and outgoing voice minutes and 51.3% growth in data revenue
London: British telecom giant Vodafone Group on Tuesday posted 14% growth in operating earnings from India's business to 1.1 billion pounds (about Rs9,749 crore) for 2011-12 helped by rising customer base and strong growth in voice-call minutes, reports PTI.
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)— which excludes one-time effects, for the financial year ended 31st March, rose to 1.12 billion pounds, from 985 million pounds in 2010-11, Vodafone said in a statement.
The Group's revenue from Indian operations surged to 4.26 billion pounds in 2011-12, from 3.85 billion pounds in the previous fiscal.
The telecom entity attributed the robust earnings from India's operations to service revenue as well as higher customer base. The growth also came from mobile operators starting to charge for SMS termination during the second quarter of the 2012 financial year.
"Service revenue grew by 19.5%, driven by an 11.8% increase in the customer base, strong growth in incoming and outgoing voice minutes and 51.3% growth in data revenue," Vodafone said.
Although the market remains highly competitive, the effective rate per minute remained broadly stable during the year, it added.
"In India, pricing showed clear signs of stabilisation after a prolonged price war," Vodafone said.
As of March 21, 2012 the customer base had increased to 150.5 million in the country, with data customers totalling 35.4 million.
Vodafone said its adjusted operating profit from India business was 60 million pounds in 12-months ended March 2012 as compared to 15 pounds in the previous year.
Overall, Vodafone's EBITDA dropped to 14.5 billion pounds in 2011-12 from 14.7 billion pounds a year earlier.
The group's revenue for the year improved by 1.2% to 46.4 billion pounds mainly on account of contribution from key countries such as India and Turkey.
"Our focus on the key growth areas of data, emerging markets and enterprise is positioning us well in a difficult macroeconomic environment. Our commercial performance and our ability to leverage scale continue to be strong, enabling us to gain or hold market share in most of our key markets, and reduce the rate of margin decline," Vodafone Group Chief Executive Vittorio Colao said.
"Our robust cash generation and the dividend received from Verizon Wireless have enabled us to translate this operational success into good returns for shareholders," he added.
Looking ahead, Vodafone expects fiscal 2013 adjusted operating profit in the range of 11.1-11.9 billion pounds.

A few people who've noticed my Spinpasta profile and signature have asked me how I've done these things, so I've decided I would write this guide, just for the hell of it. Feel free to add something to it.
Mainly, I've been asked about my signiture. It's a slippery little thing. Many users have these kinds of signitures, you're probably asking "How do I do this?"
Well, it requires a bit of understanding code.
[[User:CalasanX|Callie]] [[File:Callie.png|60px]] [[User talk:CalasanX|-Leave your wub messages here-]]
See that? That's my signiture, as a code. This is the result:
Callie -Leave your wub messages here-
Now, the code isn't the hard part; most of the time, users who want this kind of thing just copy and paste someone else's source code and then edit it to make their own. The issue lies in making it your signature.
Well, here's how to do that:
First, create a User Subpage. User:ExampleUser/sig.
Then put in your code. So you know that much, here's where a lot of users end up tripped up.
Now you need to head to your preferences. That subpage is useless if you don't do anything with it.
See that circled area in the picture? That's the custom signature box, obviously. As you can see, it says: {{subst:User:CalasanX/sig}}
Put that, only using your username's sig page, into the box. Then check the box under it that says "I want to use wikitext in my signature." Then save it.
And walla! You now have a new custom signature.
Attached Pictures
See those two big ponies right there? My adorable OC? That's what I call an attached picture. It's much simpler to do, though.
This is the code:

[[File:Caltalk1_-_Copy.png|x300px]]

Now, this puts the picture on the bottom left of the page. The picture scrolls with you as you scroll down, because it's attached to the bottom.
But what if you want it on the right? Simple solution. Replace one word. I've put in between three apostrophes for you to look at because of the no wiki tags preventing it from bolding. :3

[[File:Caltalk1_-_Copy.png|x300px]]

Replace that with "right," obviously. And now, you have your picture.
Note: It would probably be a good idea not to make it as big as mine, which you can edit by changing the "x300px." Also, unless you want it to be something else, it should be a png file with a transparent background.
Youtube Player
This is the simplest. Referencing my other picture, there are two black boxes with play buttons. That's the Youtube Player.
{{YoutubePlayer|Top =0|PlaylistURL = v/HUC_AwTKLic?hl=en_US&|Autoplay = 0|Hide = 0}}
That's the template set up to one of the songs on my Profile. It should be simple to figure everything out: Top =0 means it's not on top (1 would mean it is). PlaylistURL = (insert embed code here) is the Url of the song that plays. Autoplay is set to 1 or 0, with one meaning it plays on entry to the page, 0 meaning it doesn't. Hide set to 0 means the bar is visible, 1 means it's not.
Now, you'll notice it says embed code. When you want to post your song, your best option is to go to that song's url, click "share," "embed," then copy everything from that v/ to "version 3."
Now, you have your Youtube Player. Enjoy.
I hope this guide helped you out!

While the big multinational Standard Chartered Bank was allowed to blank out disclosure of litigation, then why were Indian banks such as Lakshmi Vilas Bank and United Bank of India not allowed this favour?
Even as the first-ever Indian Depository Receipt (IDR) issue of Standard Chartered Plc is set to open in the Indian capital markets on 25 May 2010, questions about its non-disclosure of numerous litigations still remain open. The bank's name was involved in the 1992 Harshad Mehta securities scam, which rocked the Indian capital market. However, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has turned a blind eye over all its pending litigations and has quietly passed the red herring prospectus (RHP), while Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd and United Bank of India have had to disclose all their pending litigations.
Standard Chartered has been taking the stand that the litigation is not 'material'. The question then remains, why did SEBI seek a disclosure from these two Indian banks?
Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd, in which the Harshad Mehta Group held 2,700 shares in connection with the 1992 securities scam, disclosed the case in its draft red herring prospectus which reads: "The Bank has 14 cases as on date involving title suits relating to shares between various parties wherein the Bank is a proforma party and awaiting decision of the said courts. Noteworthy to mention is a case filed in the Sub Court under Special Court (TORTS) Act, 1992 by the Custodian in 1996 for shares held by (the) Harshad Mehta Group totalling 2,700 shares held by various parties and the matter is still pending."
Similarly, United Bank of India, which hit the market earlier this year, disclosed all its cases against its chairman and directors, civil proceedings, labour and employment cases and other cases related to the bank. There was no mention of the bank's involvement in the scam. The RHP had one case filed by SEBI against the bank, 18 civil cases, approximately 162 cases pertaining to labour and employment issues (as on 1 March 2010) and three other cases.
"As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, neither the Company, any member of the Group, any Director, or any material associate of the Company (emphasis ours) are involved in any material governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings or litigation and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened material governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings or litigation relating to the Company, any member of the Group, any Director or any material associate which, in either case, may have a significant effect on the performance of the Group, and there are no liabilities or defaults (including arrears and potential liabilities) in relation to such material proceedings or litigation which would be required to be disclosed under the SEBI Regulations," states page 419 of Standard Chartered's red herring prospectus.
However there are at least half-a-dozen cases filed against the bank by the Enforcement Directorate in 2002.
Earlier, Arijit De, head of external communications of Standard Chartered India replied to an email query by Moneylife: "The IDRs represent the shares of Standard Chartered (SC) plc, UK, the ultimate parent company of Standard Chartered Bank, India. In accordance with the disclosure requirements under SEBI Regulations, IDR Rules, other applicable laws and international practice, SC plc has made appropriate disclosures of all material issues in the draft offer document filed with SEBI. We have nothing further to add beyond what is disclosed in the DRHP."
Moneylife had previously reported about this issue and had raised the matter with SEBI but we have still not received any response.

Mumbai city was paralysed when the Central and Western Railway motormen went on strike early this month. A fast-track committee is expected to look into their demands and a decision is expected on 15th June—but will anything happen?
Mumbai's local train service, which is the city's lifeline, came to a standstill due to the Central and Western Railway motormen strike early this month. The strike also witnessed members of Parliament, including Sanjay Nirupam, raising the issue in the House. The strike ended on the second day after it had started (4th May). However, the issue has still not been resolved. Mumbai's denizens may be hit by another strike after 15th June, as the 'fast-track' committee is not empowered to deal with this issue.
In fact, the committee is not the right authority to resolve the issue. In 2006, a new wage settlement was decided based on the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. This wage settlement was for all government and public sector employees.
The new wage settlement reduced the eight pay-scale categories to four pay-scale categories for the Indian Railways. With this reduction, railway guards were clubbed along with motormen for the first time in the same category. Before that, guards along with a few other positions were on a lower pay scale than the motormen. This is now a major issue for motormen, who have been affected by the changes, and that is the crux of the problem.
Motormen believe that their services have not been valued as they have been placed on par with positions which earlier were a part of a lower grade.
Moreover, the motormen were also encouraged by a political party in their agitation. Faced with negative political fallout and a possible law-and-order problem, the Maharashtra Home ministry patched up a face-saving act by announcing that a
fast-track committee would be set up to resolve the matter.
The sanctity of the Sixth Pay Commission's recommendations is higher than what the fast-track committee can decide upon.
The authorities who can decide the issue are the Departmental Pay Anomaly Committee and the National Pay Anomaly Committee. The motormen's union has already appealed to them and their case is still pending.
While 15 June 2010 is the new date for the fast-track committee to take a decision, it cannot do so. Incidentally, the Bombay High Court's hearing on the same case is also scheduled for 15th June.
Will the motormen dare to cripple Mumbai again? If they do so, it will be after the monsoon has set in and public anger will be even worse than before.
Besides other demands, the motormen's union has also asked to raise the kilometre ceiling to 300km. Motormen working in the Central and Western Railway are entitled to payments equivalent to a minimum of 150km driven by them.
The Indian Railway Board is fairly placed to decide this issue by itself. The union has also demanded special leave entitlements for motormen, which again, is most likely to be rejected. It would be difficult to discriminate among railway workers, by allowing special leave entitlements exclusively for motormen.
With such constraints, it remains to be seen how motormen will act after 15th June, as a second strike is likely to trigger more public anger.
"You will have to contact the fast-track committee for these details," said SS Gupta, chief public relations officer (CPRO), Mumbai division, Western Railway.
With the minor rally over, the next support for the Sensex is between 16300-16,100
The market traded range-bound throughout the day and ended with modest gains on Thursday. The Sensex ended the day at 16,519, higher by 111 points (0.7%) while the Nifty closed at 4,947, higher by 28 points (0.6%). The bourses pared early gains soon and traded in a narrow range till afternoon. The market rebounded in the afternoon session on strong European markets and touched its intraday high. However, it came down from that level to trade in a narrow range for the rest of the trading session.
Asian stocks were down on Thursday as concerns over the fiscal deficit in the eurozone weighed down sentiment. Investors remain jittery after Germany's decision late on Tuesday to ban naked short-selling in sovereign debt and some financial stocks. Key benchmark indices in China, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan fell by 0.17% to 1.83%.
US markets were down on Wednesday on concerns over Germany's unilateral action to ban specific trades in some stocks and bonds. Germany's move appeared to catch its partners in the European Union off-guard. The Dow was down 66 points (0.6%) to 10,444. The S&P 500 was down 5.7 points (0.5%) to 1,115. The Nasdaq was down 19 points (0.8%) to 2,298.
Back home, food price inflation picked up marginally for the second consecutive week in early May. It was up 16.49%, higher than the previous week's reading of 16.44%. The fuel price index was steady at 12.33%, while the primary articles index was up 16.19% versus 16.76%.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said that the Greece debt crisis may have an impact on India's trade. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers of Rs1,383 crore. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were net buyers of Rs56 crore. The rupee was down on the dollar's gain against other major global currencies despite a gain in the equity market.

Russ Feingold
November 3, 2010 by USA Post
Russ Feingold, MILWAUKEE-The turnout was heavy Tuesday in a neighborhood of mostly African-American in the west of Milwaukee, where many voters turned out to express their support for a man, not on the ballot: President Barack Obama.
Three-term Democratic Senator Russ Feingold will have very strong participation in Democratic strongholds like this if it will take Republican Ron Johnson, a manufacturer of plastics from Oshkosh, who is leading by between five and 10 points in recent polls.
A brand of anti-Democratic sentiment greets drivers entering the city in the form of a poster condemning liberal bias in the media.
But here at a polling place within the brown brick Metropolitan Baptist Church, Burleigh Street, the feeling was very different.
Sylvester Rucker, a custodian for 61 years, said he voted for Mr. Feingold not because he likes the senator, but because he believes that Obama will have six years to the right of the country and a Democrat on Congress to that.
"Bush dug us into a ditch for eight years," said Mr. Rucker. "It took two years to lay the groundwork. We will need six more to go."
Mr. Rucker laughed when asked about his view of the movement of tea party: "They are a hoax," he said. "The right wing of the Republican Party, nothing more."
Upon entering the church to cast their vote, Fabian Goins, an unemployed university graduate aged 25, said he supported Mr. Feingold in the hope that the continuation of the Democratic agenda will create more jobs.
"The government needs help right now," he said. "I know we're raising the debt, but if we need help we need help."
Shirley Willingham, a worker with 54 years of age, care of the kids said they did not have to study issues long to make a decision.
"We need health care and child care in this country," he said. "Democrats are trying to give us that Republicans care."

As sponsor of the original 1975 law that first put into our state statutes the provisions protecting the lead-off status of the New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Presidential Primary, as well as updates to that law as recently as 1999 and April of this year, I would like to offer my thoughts concerning your election schedule decision-making.
I would like to offer a win-win solution to the dilemma currently facing the Democratic National Committee. My solution is simple, but I think it accomplishes several things.
First, let's continue to recognize that the Iowa Caucus will be the first political party delegate-nominating event for 2008, as it has been for 30 years.
Second, let's also recognize that the New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Presidential Primary will the first real election event, as it has been for almost 100 years and which is protected by our state law. Both of these lead-off events have worked well for decades.
Third, I suggest that you consider recognizing a caucus in the District of Columbia. That caucus could be scheduled a few days or a couple of weeks before the Iowa Caucus, or put in between the Iowa Caucus, which is traditionally held on a Monday and is tentatively scheduled for mid-January of 2008, and the New Hampshire Primary, which is traditionally held on the Tuesday eight days after the Iowa Caucus. Personally, I believe a DC Caucus would also highlight the importance of giving full voting rights to our citizens in that city, and this would be a way for the Democratic National Committee to focus attention to that cause.
Fourth, I suggest that you spread out the rest of the delegate-selection events beginning two weeks after the New Hampshire Presidential Primary, and reduce the "front-loading" that has occurred during the past two or three presidential election cycles.
Fifth and finally, I urge you to work with the Republican National Committee and the National Secretary of States Association to evaluate the scheduling process for primaries and caucuses in 2012. The National Secretary of States Association already has proposed an arrangement, also endorsed by the Jimmy Carter Commission, which would continue to recognize Iowa and New Hampshire in their traditional lead-off roles, and encourage a series of regional primaries throughout the country in the several months following New Hampshire.
I think my proposal could be a solution to the confusion that otherwise would be created if the Democratic National Committee tries to further revamp the 2008 presidential nominating calendar at this late date. That confusion could result in New Hampshire having to jump its tentatively scheduled presidential primary to the day after the Iowa Caucus, or the week before. Such a late-in-the-process scheduling adjustment would not be good for Democratic or Republican candidates.
Under our state law, our Secretary of State cannot make an agreement with any of the national parties ahead of time as to when the date for our primary will be. He must wait until November or December of 2007 to see when the scheduled events in all the other states are set, then enact our state law requiring him to set it "...7 days or more..." before a "similar event," which is up to him to interpret. He has full authority and flexibility to do what he feels is necessary to protect New Hampshire's traditional lead-off role. We have given his office the tools he needs to respond to any threat, and since New Hampshire taxpayers pay for our primary, we can hold it when we wish, and I am confident candidates of both parties will come to meet with voters here.
The problem has never been that Iowa has the first caucus and New Hampshire has the first primary. The problem is the front-loading of the schedule following New Hampshire, where so many states have election events one after the other - - sometimes with three or four events scattered around the country a week - - hardly allowing the candidates to take a breath, and not contributing to positive debate and voter involvement.
A lot has been said about "diversity" in the election process. The United States has vast diversity. New Hampshire and Iowa are part of that diversity. Both states are "American," and the other 48 states can properly lay claim to the same title.
In New Hampshire, we have extraordinary diversity of economy, religions, nationalities, education, wealth, ages, and geography. We have larger cities and rural farms. We have people making livings in industries and businesses as diverse as fishing and ship building to high tech and tourism. We have been absorbing populations from nations throughout the world for 350 years. I'd match our diversity of people, backgrounds, and political philosophies with any other state. You name an issue or a concern, and we have advocates, points of view, and very possibly organizations working on that issue. It's democracy at its best, and we bring that face-to-face, eye-to-eye, to visiting candidates.
With Iowa having the first political party nomination event, followed by the first real election in New Hampshire, the rest of the great diversity of our country can still be involved in many other ways as well. No one, and no interest, is being shut out by having Iowa and New Hampshire remain in lead-off positions: party conventions and candidate forums, debates, regional conferences and round-table events are held by various groups all over our nation in the months leading up to Iowa and New Hampshire. Those can continue and can even be enhanced for 2008.
Then in the weeks and months after New Hampshire's primary, the involvement of all segments of America can continue to be pivotal parts of the process. New Hampshire and Iowa add to, not take away from, the diversity of the election season. Involving the voters of the District of Columbia in a more front-and-center role would contribute to that diversity as well.
The alternative to the Democratic National Committee identifying the win-win scenario is to continue to have a nominating schedule that will be up in the air until the New Hampshire Secretary of State formally sets the date of the NH Primary, which under our state law he is obligated to wait to do until late in the Fall of 2007 - - perhaps as late as December, just a few short weeks before New Hampshire and Iowa have their lead-off events.
An unpredictable schedule is not good for either of the parties, it's not good for the presidential candidates of either of the parties, and it's not good for the election process. Cooler and smarter heads in the Democratic National Committee should agree.
The New Hampshire First-In-The-Nation Presidential Primary is about people and dialogue on issues, not so much about cameras and mega-fundraising, as is often the case when the campaigns leave our state. The one-to-one, face-to-face, eye-to-eye, person-to-person on-the-street and in-the-living rooms campaigning that presidential candidates have to undergo in New Hampshire makes us a better country, and helps make our next president a better leader. That's important for Democrats and Republicans alike.
Let's find the peace. Let's find the win-win for everyone in 2008. There's room for all, with Iowa and New Hampshire continuing to be involved in our traditional roles.

I believe in the here and the now approaches to therapy, such as Reality, Person Centered, Solution Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, however, sometimes it is beneficial to explore a client's past experiences to look at hurts, needs, behavior patterns, etc. in order to make positive changes in their current lives. The past does sometimes affect ones current behavior and attitude. It is necessary sometimes to hear a clients past to help them recover and rebuild from their hurts. To accept and let it go, realizing they are still lovable, worthwhile, and can be successful and happy. I use a thorough assessment and behavioral techniques to help validate and encourage clients.

Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy is of then the first line of intervention for people suffering through life transitions, anxiety, depression or a loss. Talk therapy helps one to focus on the thoughts and actions that may have become a pattern of maladaptive coping skills. By reviewing life events that have shaped a person, there can be insight into new coping mechanisms that might be more adaptive.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought I'd start here.
I want to do a Word document that I can adhere a piece of cardstock to with painter's tape and run it through the printer. The question I have is this - if I want to print "Merry Christmas" and slightly overlap the Christmas on top of the Merry, how do I do that? I've tried text boxes and they seem to cancel each other out so that there's no overlap - it's either just Merry or Christmas. There's got to be a way to do this in Word, I'm just not clever enough to figure it out.

Do not use a weed wacker as the above person is doing to control vegetation
around the trees. The thin bark at the base of the trees will be damaged
and removed and the tree will die as shown on the right. Use recommend
using herbicides such as Glyphosate, Pendulum, and Princep to
control unwanted vegetation around your trees.
At the top is windbreak trees that have a mulberry tree growing
up the middle of the tree. This is a very common occurrence in windbreaks as
birds bring in seeds and they start growing. If not removed, mulberry or other
trees will eventually kill your windbreak trees. Cut the mulberries/other
volunteer trees
off level 4 inches above ground, and apply a safe herbicide (Glyphosate) that can be used to
kill the undesirable trees growing in your windbreak, and not hurt your
evergreens, do this in the fall
(Oct.-Dec.) of the
year. DO NOT use any herbicides such as Tordon,
Milestone, Forefront, Grazon, 2-4D or other similar herbicides on, around or
within 100 ft of your windbreak trees at any time, as it can and
will kill them, as shown on the bottom two pictures. These dead trees had
mulberries growing up inside the evergreens and were cut off and had a small amount of Tordon applied to the mulberry stump, this
was enough to kill the evergreens.
Left above, is a Norway Spruce with grass/weeds growing around the base of the tree and
right a Norway
Spruce that has proper weed control. Do not let any vegetation grow within 2-3 ft of your trees the first 5 years. Grass/weeds takes all moisture
and nutrients from the tree and growth rates are reduced significantly. We advise using herbicides
such as Glyphosate, Pendulum, and Princep,
and not mulch in most cases to control vegetation and can advise you on the proper and safe ones to use.
Here is damage done from a buck deer rubbing his antlers, to avoid damage
from rubbing and eating of your trees,
reduce or remove the numbers of destructive animals (rabbits, deer, pocket gofers) and
take action to prevent damage in the future. For best results we like and use: www.stopthedeerdamage.com
Here is a row of shrubs that were planted 10 ft from a row of Norway spruce. They were the old fashioned lilac and they quickly spread by suckers in the Norway spruce area. The Norway spruce responded by losing there bottom branches, and now the wind is beginning to blow right threw the bottom of the windbreak. This is one reason I am not a big fan of planting deciduous shrubs in a windbreak as this can happen if planted closer than 22
ft from the trees. Deciduous shrubs in the winter without their leaves provides only a
30% reduction in wind velocity, where any evergreen provide over a 70% reduction in winds.
Here is a row of Norway Spruce planted 6 ft apart, they are now over 12 ft tall
and are beginning to thin out at the bottom of the plant. This is so they can
keep the top growing and not be shaded out as in nature. At this time every
third one of these trees should be removed and in about 5 more years remove
every other one. This would give a final spacing of 18 ft between trees
which is what you want for the Norway Spruce. The trees left with the new
sunlight and moisture will grow thick and wide with branches all the way to the
Above is a picture of a windbreak with the two smaller trees in the middle. The one on the left is 6 ft tall and the one on the right is 8ft tall, these trees are 28 years old, as I planted them myself. These are Douglas Fir planted in a heavy clay soil that was along a gravel road and the soil PH in this area is over 8.5. I wanted to show this picture to show what happens when the wrong trees is planted in the wrong site. Many kinds of trees will grow in this area and do well, so plan carefully when selecting your trees for a certain area, especially along gravel roads.
Above is a windbreak in which the person thought they could get ahead on their
windbreak by planting a row of larger trees that died shortly after planting.
They may have paid a lot of money for the trees and to have them tree spaded in,
unfortunately many times the tree planter gives a "reduced rate" with no
warrantee. The row next to them are smaller potted Arborvitae and the
whole row is green and doing fine. When planting a windbreak, our potted
trees are the best way to get the windbreak you want, in the shortest possible
time with the fewest losses, work and cost. The Austrees in the background
are looking very well.
Above is a windbreak in which the homeowner has cut off all the lower branches so
they could "mow" under the trees. Bad idea, as they destroyed their
windbreak. You can see what happens, the wind and snow hits the windbreak
and the wind picks up speed (called jetting) as it goes under the trees, removed
all the snow, and sent all the wind and snow over to the house. To fix this problem
plant a new row of trees on the outside of the windbreak. Do not remove
the lower branches on your windbreak trees and there is no need to mow in this
area under the larger trees as the lower branches on evergreens will usually
shade out the grass.
Above is an example of what happens when a tree is planted too deep. The
customer planted the trees themselves and the top arrow is where we found the
soil line on the trees. They had notified us and said all there trees were
dying. It only took a few seconds to find the problem, the stem above the
root system cannot be in contact with the soil as it rots and kills the plant.
They used an auger to dig the holes so this is a common problem using an auger,
and the person doing the planting did not know about planting dept. The soil line on all trees potted or bare root should be about one inch above
the top lateral root, or approximately at the bottom arrow shown on the picture.
Here a person who lives up a long lane planted some Spruce 10 ft to the west side of
their driveway. As they get bigger they will drift the lane shut as the
snow will drop right behind it on the lane. Keep any rows of trees at
least 40 ft away on the west side of a drive way
In most cases we do not advise staking trees, and if you do, only for a short
period of time in the summer. What happened here is an ice or wind storm
can put a lot of extra stress on the tree and it bent to the area where it was held by the
stakes, causing it to snap off above the strap where the pressure was the
greatest. It is better for the tree to just bend with the ice, snow and wind.
Ice and heavy snow will many time get over your trees and pull them down, this
applies to all trees. These are white pine on left and they are more likely to do
this than the Spruce varieties. Austree willow is on the right. We know this looks bad and you want to
help, but do not do anything as long as the temperature is below about 36'F.
These plant are under a lot of tension and they rarely break after the
storm is over. Once it is above freezing the snow/ice should start to melt
off and you can "gently" help to remove some of the snow that is on the very
top. Most of the time we recommend to do nothing and let warm weather work.
If it is below freezing and you try to bend these stems, you will either break
them or crack the outside layer of bark causing much more damage. After
the snow and ice is all melted off and the winter is over we sometimes take the
crooked stem and gently work it in a circle to "stretch" the wood fibers helping
it to straighten up. But again if you do nothing usually they will be fine
and recover in a year or two and the crook will be gone.
Above is several dead pyramidal arborvitae in a row that the others were doing
fine. With just a glance we wondered what happened and quickly found out.
2012 was a bad drought/hot year here in the midwest. If you look above the
dead trees you will see a Hackberry tree sticking above. What happened is
the hackberry has very adventurous roots and was close enough to the
Arborvitae that the hackberry roots were over and got under the Arborvitae taking too
much moisture from them causing them to die. This is why I advise, if you have
arborvitae and you have a drought/heat with no rain for over 30 days or other
trees growing close to them, if you can, try to water them in some way. If
these trees had been watered just once during the drought they could have all been

A plane crash drill, then a mirage
By Jack Williams, USATODAY.com
ROSS ICE SHELF, Antarctica, January 20, 1999 - On the second day of happy campers
school we packed up camp by 9 a.m. and spent most of the rest of the day learning
how to use the high-frequency radios used for communication by Antarctic field
camps, and more about handling emergencies.
These radios are more complicated than the ones that most of us are using today
because the long antenna has to be set up in the correct way.
To end the school, we simulated a crash landing of an LC-130 on the ice with
one of our members suffering from hypothermia. It took 12 minutes for the 11
of us to pitch a mountain tent, get a stove going, start taking care of the
"victim" and to set up the high-frequency radio and get a message
off to McMurdo.
Late in the afternoon we returned to the McMurdo Base where I saw the kind
of mirage known as a fata morgana over McMurdo Sound. While looking out over
the sound I saw what at first looked almost like an aircraft carrier. I knew
that no carrier was in McMurdo Sound, and then saw it didn't really look like
a carrier.
After returning, I wrote a short
article about the mirage.

This country note provides an environmental tax and carbon pricing profile for New Zealand. It shows environmentally related tax revenues, taxes on energy use and effective carbon rates.
This database provides information on environmentally related taxes, fees and charges, tradable permit systems, deposit refund systems, environmentally motivated subsidies and voluntary approaches used in environmental policy in OECD member countries and a number of other countries. Developed in co-operation between the OECD and the European Environment Agency.
As part of continuing efforts to boost transparency by multinational enterprises (MNEs), Canada, Iceland, India, Israel, New Zealand and the People's Republic of China signed today the Multilateral Competent Authority agreement for the automatic exchange of Country-by-Country reports ("CbC MCAA"), bringing the total number of signatories to 39 countries. The signing ceremony took place in Beijing, China.
Bilateral Agreements that have been signed to establish exchange of information for tax purposes.
In a boost for international efforts to strengthen co-operation against offshore tax evasion, seven new countries have joined the agreement to exchange information automatically under the OECD/G20 standard.
OECD countries acknowledge that taxes must play a role in the process of fiscal consolidation as they battle unprecedented budget deficits. In 2010, the majority of OECD governments have stabilised their tax to GDP, with the average ratio moving up slightly from 33.8% in 2009 to 33.9% in 2010.

At this point would it really shock anyone to find out that we're not alone in the universe? Some believe that aliens and UFOs have been visiting our planet since the dawn of time. One scientist in particular claims to have proof in his discovery of a tiny 6″ alien corpse.
The scientist in question, Doctor Steven Greer, is a former emergency medical physician and is currently an alien investigator. Greer made his discovery in Chile's Atacama Desert and has since been prodding the U.S. government to finally confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life, but shockingly enough, he's not making any headway.
To bring his discovery to the world, on April 23rd he's releasing a film called Sirius to limited theatres and VOD, which features his theories on alternate technologies that may exist that could have been used to get this little guy planet-side. Oh, and did we mention that the flick will also feature the remains of his "alien" on the business end of a full autopsy? Amardeep Kaleka directs this truly compelling bit of filmmaking.
Color us curious.
Check out the trailer for Sirius below, which is home to footage of the creature undergoing some initial medical procedures.
For more visit the official Sirius website, "like" Sirius on Facebook, and follow Sirius on Twitter.
The Earth has been visited by advanced Inter-Stellar Civilizations that can travel through other dimensions faster than the speed of light. What we have learned from them about energy propulsion can bring us to a new era, but those in power have suppressed this information in order to keep us at their mercy. It is time for you to know… and this documentary will let you in.

text: Folstag is a frost giant notorious throughout Midgard as a raider and pillager. In Fall of the Trident, Skult tricks Arkantos into showing the flag of Folstag to the Norse clans, claiming that they will rally under it. Upon seeing the flag, however, the Norsemen become enraged and attack Arkantos and his men. It is later revealed to them why. In The New Atlantis, Folstag offers the aid of himself and his fellow frost giants to Kastor in fighting the legendary Titan who has emerged in the Norselands as a result of the gods' hold on the gates of Tartarus having been unintentionally weakened. Folstag can freeze any unit with his breath, including Titans.

Neighborly love is a commonality among people throughout the Christian tradition, but it is difficult for many to comprehend the introduction of theological evidence that suggests that it is practical to extend this same love to the non-human world. When issues of animal exploitation are brought into light, however, perspective allows individuals to better grasp the ethical implications that this issue has on an individual's faith. Humans have flourished on the exploitation of animals for hundreds of years, buying and selling their bodies for food, clothing, and experimentation, thus allowing us to grow insensitive to the fact that they are also creatures created by the Creator God. Carol Adams suggests that this absent referent separates those who consume flesh from the animal, and the animal from the end product (Adams, 13). This functions as a way to, "keep our 'meat' separated from any idea that she or he was once an animal, to keep the "moo" or "cluck" or "baa" away from the meat, to keep something from being seen as having been someone" (Adams, 13). This suppression of the reality of these issues allows individuals to justify horrific acts of violence and shape their theology accordingly in order to prevent a change in tradition. When addressing issues of animal rights through a Christological lens, much like issues involving the rights of humans, we see that a valid theology must be rooted in a Christ-like love. This makes it an incredibly hard task to shape one's theology around an ideology that exploits and suppresses the rights of non-human animals.
With industrial agriculture on the rise after World War II, technology allowed for the production of meat to increase in incredible proportion. Animals moved from pastures and barns into highly sophisticated sheds and feed lots where vitamins, growth hormones, and antibiotics boosted their growth rate (Roberts, 5). The focus on quantity rather than quality reduced the significance of the life of an animal into a commodity. This shift in the way animals were viewed has allowed for tremendous violence to be deemed acceptable in the name of profit. There are many instances of violence directed towards animals in the meat, dairy, and egg industry, but for the purpose of this discussion, we will focus on the inhumane treatment within the pig industry. 90 percent of the pigs that end up on our plates spend the majority of their lives within cages of steel and concrete that allow them little to no room to move or turn around (Singer, 46). These intensive hog production facilities are referred to as confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which often hold thousands of hogs at a time (Cole, 225). Inside, mother pigs are forced to reproduce. Nursing is kept to a minimum, as nursing would prevent the sow from becoming pregnant, which would ultimately decrease productivity (Singer, 50). Teeth clipping and tail docking are common procedures that piglets endure just after birth with little to no anesthetics to prevent them from biting and chewing on each other's tails, a phenomenon that does not happen outside of confinement (singer, 50). In 2000, a group of researchers set out to study the effects that these CAFOs had on the local environment. What they found was astonishing. When studying a hog production facility in North Carolina, researchers found that slurry, or waste runoff from these feeding operations, threatened the health and quality of life for individuals who lived nearby (Cole, 225). The inherent health risks associated with the ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, endotoxins, and other volatile organic compounds that are released into the air show us a connection between the abuse and mistreatment of animals with cases of environmental racism. After examining the approximately 2,500 CAFOs in North Carolina in relation to levels of poverty, and race, the research concluded that the facilities are disproportionately located in communities with higher levels of poverty, and in areas that had higher proportions of nonwhite persons (Cole, 229). This research allows us to have a greater understanding of the depth of a problem that is uniquely connected to many other systems of violence.
It is adequate to say that if we are to challenge the systems of oppression inflicted on one group of individuals, it seems mandatory for us to understand the relationship that all forms of violence have with one another. In doing so, we find that the oppression of human and non-human animals are deeply related, and to regard violence as a means of treason against one is to do the same for the other. What does this mean then for a faith that is based on the example set by a first-century Jewish messiah who used the meal to set an example of inclusion and love? An example of love that extended beyond one's friends and family and actively considered the rights of the underprivileged demands for us to reconsider what and who we eat, and to extend the same basic rights to the rest of creation.
Accepting a theology that grants rights to animals does not mean that one must deny that there are differences between the animal world and the human world. Throughout both the old and New Testament we find that humans are made in the likeness of God (NRSV, Gen. 1:26-27). For many, this ultimately infers a value that holds humankind above the rest of creation. In order to understand what it means to be created in the image of our Creator, it is implicit that one reflects on the essence of who God is. God as Creator, Reconciler, and Redeemer, along with the concept of sacrifice and humility, are perennial themes throughout scripture. A greater understanding of God's rule over creation is important for us to understand what it means for mankind to reflect God's rule amidst God's creation. Stanley Hauerwas tells us that, " At most, the concept of dominion can only mean that God has chosen humanity to be an image of God's own rule in the world…Christians must not understand "image of God" to be based on any metaphysical or morphological difference between humans and other animals but must reconceive "image of God" in terms of the particular purposes that God assigns to humans (Berkman, 205)." A purpose that gives humanity the opportunity to reflect Gods Kingdom through loving and serving all of God's creation.
The framework of love constructed by Jesus and his disciples challenged the systems of power that existed at the time. Radical notions of neighborly love, caring for the poor, and calling others to tag along made others feel uncomfortable. People do not like change, I do not like change, but Jesus shows us that pushing our boundaries and extending compassion to others is life giving. Christians can no longer hide and ignore cruelty directed towards non-human animals. We must question the systems of abuse that we support in having flesh on their plates. To consume the flesh of non-human animals suggests a lack of consideration for the sanctity of all life. Both human and non-human lives are affected by one's choice to eat the bodies of animals. If we are to seriously consider what it means to follow Christ in light of the abuse and eventual death of billions of animals a year, a massive shift in the way we view food should be considered. Jesus portrayed the meal as a means of ushering in the Kingdom of God and building community. In order to effectively do this today, cruelty must be taken off the menu.

ANY OTHER OPINIONS OUT THERE? Do you think its worth hiring a new guy full or part time
I've been doing 65 accounts by myself but now that it has gone to 80 I hired a guy. I don't want to work more than 40 hours a week. When my total got to 80, I weeded out all the accounts that weren't making me top dollar and got rid of them, even though they are close by. Hire if you have to, only you how much you can take on by yourself.
I would say hire someone part time in the summer months so you can train/see if he works, then if it's working out well and you need help in the fall take him on full time for clean-ups on top of the regular lawn mowing.

A declaration. My weekend away at 1888 in Pyrmont is by necessity mid-week and the hotel looks close to capacity. A short walk to Darling Harbour, Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. Star Casino and Sydney Fish Market, one might expect the truly boutique hotel – there's fewer than 100 rooms - might be popular with just holidaymakers. In fact, it's a long way from the leisure suit with understated couples, fresh from a shopping trip to Salvatore Ferragamo and multiple bags to prove it, and corporate types talking business at neighbouring tables.
Once a wool store, the heritage-listed building consciously couples historic character and modern style. Surrounding a glass Wonka-type lift is the restaurant and backlit bar area, relaxation lounges and reception desk. There's greenery and bikes for hire. The focus on the building's history is seamless starting in the lobby with ironbark beams and exposed brick walls, continuing in-room and extending to recycled desk furniture. Low ceilings, a favourite of many hotels, are absent, with a generous three metres for insomniacs to stare up to during those lonely hours. The squeeze, as the name suggests, is in the unashamedly named Shoebox room starting at 15 square metres. From there rooms graduate to Queen, King, King Deluxe, Loft, Suite and Attic. At the top end, The Williamson has a private entrance, king bed and space to accommodate eight for functions such as hens' nights.
At 18 square metres my Queen room has a queen bed, side tables, 101-centimetre television and covetable wall-fixed reading lamps with flexible arm. As a traveller notorious for leaving stuff behind in hotels - an entire closet's worth at a fine hotel in Hong Kong once - the open hanging space appeals. There's a decent shampoo conditioner and loofah kit. There's no coffee machine but coffee and T2 tea bags provide caffeine enough. Wi-Fi is free and fast and the in-room iPad has specific recommendations including day spas, attractions, restaurants and bars, all within walking distance. Parking across the road costs $39 for 24 hours with unlimited entry and exit.
It's a cocoon with comfortable bed and decent rain shower. What more does one need? There's still space for morning stretches while looking out the arched window. The windows are said to be soundproofed but there was a heavy downpour during the night and I do spend time staring at that lofty ceiling listening to the drip, drip of the rain on the metal canopy that covers the entrance way below.
The 1888 Eatery and Bar has that same cosy feel with plenty of friendly staff buzzing about. I'm feeling smashed but the vegetarian breakfast ($18) with half a ripe avocado (not smashed), potato hash, spinach, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and eggs how you like them restores faith. The Everything on the Buffet breakfast is a very reasonable $27 as is the blueberry and ricotta muffin ($4.50). From the in-room menu there's interesting choices such as blue swimmer crab with saffron linguini ($26) or mixed berry trifle with buckwheat crumble ($12).
Better than a boutique-sized gym the size of a shoebox, a stay in any room at the hotel includes access to the Ian Thorpe Aquatic and Fitness centre and its Olympic size swimming pool (open at 6am), fitness classes (first class is at 6.15am) and private locker. It's five minutes on foot. My stay involves stepping in to a taxi for a trip across town. When it's a no-show the helpful receptionist walks down the street to summon another. Next time I plan to book a class in sushi and sashimi-making at the fish market.
A true boutique hotel that represents the best of this beautiful city, both old and new.
