Color Chocolate Candy
Sugar Work By Lynn929 Updated 12 Oct 2010 , 1:01pm by AnotherCreation
How does everyone color chocolate? I used liquid color from Chefmaster and it started clupming up, but it melted nicely until i colored it. any suggestions?
there are specific colors made for candy. It needs to be an oil based color with no water. the water does not mix with the chocolate and will cause problems.

Born in 1959 - France
Miguel Chevalier was born in Mexico City in 1959; he works mainly in Paris where he has been living since 1985. Chevalier graduates from the Beaux-Arts in Paris 1980 and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1983. He has received the Lavoisier scholarship and went to the Pratt Institute in New York in 1984; and also received the award of the villa Kujoyama in Kyoto, Japan in 1994.
Miguel Chevalier has acquired, thanks to his multidisciplinary training and during his travels across the world, a great artistic experience. His art is characterized by the exploration, since 1982, of the latest technologies. His area of research takes its sources in the history of the art, whose essential data he reformulates using computer tools.
His themes relate to his observation of flows and networks that organize our contemporary societies. He imposed himself internationally as one of the pioneers of virtual and digital art. The images that he produces question ceaselessly our relationship to the world.

From http://www.apache.org/~henkp/trust/apache.html, it seems like it is no sin to sign a release with a key that has not yet been cross-signed. 2/3 of keys used to release ASF software haven't been cross-signed. However, if you do release software with your key and later get that key signed, then all those benefits would flow back to the previous released software. Having your key cross-signed is a good thing, but wasn't a graduation requirement. The process described in http://www.apache.org/~henkp/trust/ involves face-to-face meeting with government issued ID (passport, drivers license). Pretty easy if you live down the street from one of the existing ASF web of trust members (likely in the Bay Area, not so likely anywhere else). There was an "key signing" party at the last ApacheCON (and likely one at ApacheCON Europe). If you'd like to get cross-signed now, you might post a message on firstname.lastname@example.com asking for anyone near your location who would be up for meeting to sign your key to send you an email off list. If you do that, ask if anyone near Houston, TX would email me.

Glens are back in groove
Glentoran gained some revenge for their Irish Cup defeat to Glenavon by recording a 3-1 Danske Bank Premiership victory at Mourneview Park last night.
Striker Curtis Allen, who scored a brace in the 3-1 win, was relieved to end a run of four league defeats on the bounce.
"We tried to make a statement for ourselves, the club and our fans," said Allen, who also missed a penalty. "We've been poor recently if I'm being honest and we said to ourselves that we needed to stand up and make something out of the rest of the season."
Jonathan Smith was also on target for the visitors and Kevin Braniff's goal was little consolation.
James McKenna's second-half effort was enough to give Ballinamallard United a win over Portadown while Andy Mitchell's strike gave Dungannon Swifts a 1-0 victory over Warrenpoint Town.
In the Irish Cup, a Miguel Chines penalty earned Carrick Rangers a 1-0 win over Crumlin Star and booked a home clash with Crusaders in the quarter-finals.

1 1392 Competition for basking places between the endangered European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis galloitalica) and the introduced redeared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) A. Cadi and P. Joly Abstract: Large numbers of red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) have been imported into Europe for several years as part of the pet trade. These alien turtles have entered habitats where they interact with native pond turtles (Emys orbicularis). We investigated competition for basking sites, because optimal basking sites may be a restricted resource in the wild. We used experimental ponds to compare basking-place selection between single-species groups and mixed-species groups. Both species preferred basking places in open deep water. In mixed groups the sliders outcompeted the European turtles for preferred basking places. Although competition for basking places is only one component of resource partitioning between these two species, it provided an insight into the relationships between an introduced and a native species. Behavioural asymmetries like those detected in our experiments argue for the caution principle in the animal trade. Résumé : La tortue à tempes rouges (Trachemys scripta elegans) a été importée en Europe en grands nombres pendant plusieurs années. Vendue comme animal de compagnie, elle a été relâchée massivement dans la nature, en particulier dans des habitats occupés par la cistude d Europe (Emys orbicularis), espèce en danger d extinction. Dans ce contexte, nous nous intéressons à l éventuelle compétition entre les deux espèces au moment du bain de soleil, considérant que la disponibilité de cette ressource peut être limitée en conditions naturelles et que ce comportement revêt une importance particulière pour la thermorégulation de ces ectothermes. Notre étude s est déroulée en conditions expérimentales afin de comparer simultanément les comportements de groupes monospécifiques et de groupes mixtes. Lorsqu elles sont élevées séparément, les deux espèces sélectionnent le même type de site de bain de soleil, en eau profonde et à découvert. Lorsqu elles sont élevées ensemble, la tortue à tempes rouges domine nettement la cistude d Europe pour l utilisation de ces sites préférés de bain de soleil, cette dernière occupant alors des sites moins bien exposés. Même si les sites de bain de soleil ne sont qu une composante des niches des deux espèces, notre étude illustre les relations de compétition que l on peut craindre entre une espèce introduite et une espèce indigène. Dans le contexte de la conservation de la biodiversité, les résultats de notre travail plaident pour l application du principe de précaution et de l arrêt des importations de tortues vers l Europe et d autres pays.

Joly. 1 Ecologie des Hydrosystèmes Fluviaux, Université Claude-Bernard (Lyon I), Unité mixte de recherche du Centre national de la recherche scientifique, 69622, Villeurbanne CEDEX, France, and Fondation Pierre Vérots, Saint-Jean-de-Thurigneux, France. 1 Corresponding author ( Introduction The introduction of alien species affects both the structure and the functioning of ecosystems by altering processes such as deviation of energy flows or displacement of native species from their ecological niches (Herbold and Moyle 1986; Williamson 1996). Variation in life histories and competitive abilities among species of the same guild causes differences in their abilities to invade extraneous guilds or resist competition from an invader. However, the outcome of an introduction is usually unpredictable unless demography, resource utilization, and biotic relationships have been carefully investigated (Joly 2000). Within-guild competition is a predictable consequence of the introduction of alien species. The outcome of competition depends on differences in the respective abilities of native and alien species to use habitat resources. In Great Britain, the replacement of the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) by the alien grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) in oak forests is related to the higher foraging efficiency of the latter species in such forests (Kenward and Holm 1993). In the same way, the replacement of native geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) by an alien gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) in Hawai i occurred because the latter species was better able to exploit short periods of prey abundance (Petren and Case 1996). Turtles have become invasive because they are traded as pet animals. During recent decades, large numbers of juvenile red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans) have been imported into Europe and this has led to frequent introductions into many freshwater ecosystems. Natural reproduction Can. J. Zool. 81: (2003) doi: /Z03-108
2 Cadi and Joly 1393 of the red-eared slider in Europe under Mediterraneanclimate conditions was reported (Luiselli et al. 1997; Martinez-Silvestre et al. 1997; Cadi et al. 2003). Competitive interactions between this species and the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) are of particular interest, as the latter is registered as an endangered species (Appendix II of the Bern Convention; Corbett 1989; Luiselli et al. 1997; Martinez-Silvestre et al. 1997). The advantages of the slider may be lower age at maturity, higher fecundity, and larger adult body size (Arvy and Servan 1998). Turtles may compete for food, egg-laying sites, or basking places (Bury and Wolfheim 1973; Bury et al. 1979; Rovero et al. 1999; Lindeman 1999). Moreover, the species richness of most freshwater chelonian assemblages in North America is dramatically higher than that of European assemblages. For example, whereas most European wetlands are occupied by only one turtle species (E. orbicularis), in south Alabama and Mississippi wetlands, at least six species can often be counted (T. s. elegans, Pseudemys floridana, Deirochelys reticularia, Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternon subrubrum, and Chelydra serpentina) (Gibbons 1990). As a consequence, a species from North American assemblages entering European waters could have a competitive advantage over the European pond turtle. Our aim was to investigate competition for basking places between turtles of the genera Emys and Trachemys. Basking is a vital activity in regions where mean temperatures fall below minimum thermal requirements (Hutchinson 1979; Crawford et al. 1983). Basking increases body temperature and thus activates metabolism (Jackson 1971; Kepenis and McManus 1974) and increases the ingestion rate (Parmenter 1980). Because increased metabolic rates and activity levels result in greater energy requirements (Gatten 1974; Parmenter 1981), there are costs associated with basking. Basking timing and basking-place selection are thus expected to obey optimality rules (Lefevre and Brooks 1995; Krawchuk and Brooks 1998). As basking behaviour probably exposes turtles to predation risk, vigilance remains high during basking bouts. Therefore, we expect that selection of a basking place results from a trade-off between heat gain and risk avoidance. The purpose of our experimental design was to investigate selection of a basking place by both species, and the alteration of this selection under competition. Basking-place selection was also monitored when the availability of the resource was reduced. The hypothesis of interference competition was also investigated by monitoring interactions among individuals. Material and methods Study site We used four 30 8mexperimental ponds built in the bank of a large fish pond on the estate of the Pierre Vérots Foundation (Fig. 1). The bottom slopes gently from dry ground to an embankment that separates the experimental ponds from the main pond. The depth reaches 1matthe foot of the embankment. Each pond is connected to the main pond by a ditch through the embankment. This ditch is equipped with a grating that allows small organisms to cross it, while preventing escape of the turtles. Natural vegetation developed similarly in all ponds. Each pond is enclosed within a T-shaped fence (50 cm high) that prevents turtle escape. The enclosure area is large enough to allow turtle nesting. Turtle behaviour was monitored from two 5 m high observation towers built on the eastern banks of the ponds. Basking sites (solaria) were provided in the form of 40 cm 30 cm wooden platforms fixed on two floats. A board with a 45 slope allowed the turtles to climb onto each solarium. As the mean dimensions of the studied turtles were 15 cm 13.3 cm, each solarium provided enough space for 6 turtles basking simultaneously without lying over one another. Animals studied We obtained 48 turtles from zoological gardens, where they were reared under seminatural conditions. The Station de Protection et d Observation des Tortues dans le Monde (SOPTOM) (Turtle Village, Gonfaron, France) lent 24 European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis galloitalica), which originated from southern France. Several zoological gardens provided 24 red-eared sliders. These sliders were selected because they were similar in body size to the pond turtles used in these experiments (Trachemys spp. usually reach a greater body size than Emys spp.). Despite their similar size, Trachemys spp. were heavier than Emys spp., on average (Table 1). The individuals were simultaneously introduced into the experimental ponds in September 1997, and hibernated for 7 months prior to observation. Twelve individuals were introduced into each enclosure. In two enclosures, experimental groups were made up of 6 individuals of each species, whereas in the other two enclosures control groups were made up of 12 individuals of the same species. Then sex ratio was equal in both experimental and control groups (3 males and 3 females of each species in the experimental groups; 6 males and 6 females of each species in the control groups). It was assumed that the turtles ate natural food. Each turtle was marked by shell-notching (Cagle 1950). Coloured marks were also painted on the shells to allow remote identification of individuals from the observation towers. Experimental plan In the first experiment we installed four solaria in each pond, providing more space than needed for the 12 individuals. Two solaria (A and B) were placed in 1 m deep water and two others (C and D) in 50 cm deep water. For each of these pairs, one solarium was installed in the middle of the pond, while the other was installed close to the northern bank (Fig. 1). The solaria differed in neither timing nor quality of sunshine. In the second experiment the number of solaria was reduced. Only two solaria were assembled, thus providing the exact space required for all the turtles in a pond. They were placed at the location that was preferred during the first experiment (the middle of the pond at 1 m depth) (Fig. 1). Monitoring For each experiment we monitored turtle behaviour for 7 days. The dates were selected to allow observations to be made in sunny weather, based on meteorological forecasting (these dates were distributed from 19 May to 4 June 1998 for the first experiment and from 23 June to 4 July 1998 for

Two observers, each occupying an observatory, recorded the duration of basking behaviour for each turtle. Individual interactions on the solarium were also recorded (biting, scrambling, pushing another turtle down from a solarium, or climbing upon another turtle). The turtles were sampled by emptying each pond at the end of hibernation (23 April) and at the end of the experiments (24 July). Each individual was weighed to the nearest 0.1 g. Ventral shell area was estimated from length and width measurements. Individual condition was calculated as the ratio of body mass to shell area. Individual condition was compared between successive capture sessions (end of hibernation, end of experiments, and 1 year after installation). The patterns of daily solar energy received on the pond bank and at an experimental basking site were established using a solar cell (Pulsonic, PLS RG1, sensitivity 0.29 mv W 1 m 2 ). Because of small numbers of individuals, we pooled the data by group (total time spent on each solarium). Comparisons were then made using nonparametric tests. Results Body condition For each species and each sampling date, condition coefficients did not vary significantly between control and experimental groups (Kruskal Wallis test, p > 0.05 for each test). At the end of hibernation, mass loss was only significant in the control E. o. galloitalica group (Wilcoxon s signed-rank test, p < 0.01) and in one of the experimental E. o. galloitalica groups (pond 3, p < 0.05). In the T. s. elegans groups, differences in body condition among individuals were more pronounced than in the E. o. galloitalica groups, with some

During the experimental period, the body condition of most individuals increased, but gains were only significant in the T. s. elegans control group (Wilcoxon s signed-rank test, p < 0.05). During the whole period from introduction into the ponds to the end of the experiments, the E. o. galloitalica control group lost body condition (p < 0.05; maximum loss 13.1%), while the T. s. elegans control group gained body condition (p < 0.05; maximum gain 11.5%). Variation in condition was not significant in the experimental groups. Overall, variation in condition was higher in T. s. elegans than in E. o. galloitalica. Basking-site selection During the first experiment, use of the solaria by the control groups of each species differed from random (χ 2, p < 0.001, 3 df). Solarium A (deep water, middle position) was selected most often, followed by pond banks and solarium B. Solaria C and D (shallow water) were less used. No difference in basking-site selection was detected between the two species (χ 2, p > 0.05, 3 df) (Fig. 2). During the second experiment, most individuals in the control groups used the remaining solaria almost exclusively. The pond banks were no longer used for basking. No difference in basking-site selection was detected between the two species (χ 2, p > 0.05, 3 df) (Fig. 2). In contrast, the distribution of use among the solaria in the experimental ponds always differed from that in the control ponds (Wilcoxon s signed-rank tests, p < 0.05). In the first experiment, solaria A and B (mostly used by the two control groups) were mostly used by T. s. elegans, while E. o. galloitalica mainly used the banks of the pond and, to a lesser extent, solaria C and D (Friedman s test, p < 0.05). Likewise, in the second experiment, T. s. elegans again preferentially used the remaining solaria, A and B (Friedman s test, p < 0.05; Wilcoxon s signed-rank test, p < 0.05 for pond 4; nonsignificant trend for pond 3), while E. o. galloitalica were distributed randomly over basking places, including pond banks (Friedman s test, p > 0.05). Daily patterns of basking behaviour At sunrise, the amount of energy available was greater on sunny pond banks because of their 45 slope that allowed turtles to bask perpendicularly to solar radiation (Fig. 3A). Because of their horizontal surface, the solaria received a similar amount of energy only 1.5 h later. This difference in energy availability between banks and solaria reversed as the angle of incidence of the sun increased. In all experiments, basking behaviour was related to the pattern of available solar heat (Fig. 3B). In the control groups, basking patterns were similar in the two species. Turtles basked approximately from 7:00 to 11:00 (solar time). Most individuals climbed onto the basking places nearly synchronously (Wilcoxon s signed-rank test, p > 0.05). Emergence from the water to climb onto a basking place preceded the peak of energy availability. No significant difference was detected between control and experimental groups. Moreover, no significant differences in times of emergence and departure from the solarium were detected between control and experimental groups (Mann Whitney tests, p > 0.05). In the second experiment, the reduction in basking sites did not alter temporal basking patterns. Emergence times (the median of individual values during each experiment) varied neither among groups nor among conditions (Friedman s test, p > 0.05 in all tests). The first species to climb onto solarium A was often the one that basked longer (Table 2). Thus, in the first experiment, 86% of first occupancy in the two experimental ponds was by T. s. elegans.

No aggressive behaviour (such as biting) was observed. There were so few interactions that a dominance hierarchy within the different groups cannot be established. Interaction frequency varied significantly among ponds and basking locations (Fig. 4), with fewer interactions in the experimental groups than in the control groups (χ 2, p < 0.01, 4 df). But no significant difference was detected between experimental groups or between control groups (χ 2, p > 0.05, 2 df). In the experimental groups, the frequencies of interspecific and intraspecific behavioural interactions did not differ (χ 2, p > 0.05, 1 df; Table 2). Discussion Competition for basking sites is only one of the potential interactions between T. s. elegans and E. orbicularis. Itmay be considered an important estimate of competition because
6 Cadi and Joly 1397 of the crucial need for heating by these ectotherms. With respect to the experimental design, T. s. elegans appeared more competitive than E. o. galloitalica. in occupying preferred basking sites. Overall, E. o. galloitalica lost more mass than T. s. elegans whatever the experimental conditions. But after only one season of activity, this mass loss was not significant. Many factors can explain such differences in basking behaviour between E. o. galloitalica and T. s. elegans. The results of our experiments suggest that the exotic turtle outcompeted the native one for preferred basking places. An experimental constraint imposed a priori caused E. o. galloitalica to be near maximum adult size, whereas most T. s. elegans, particularly females, still had considerable growth potential. Therefore, the use of bodycondition index and mass loss was confounded, and little inference about fitness effects due to competition can be made. When reared separately, both species showed similar basking patterns. They also used the same solarium sites, preferring the deep-water sites at a distance from the banks. The banks were only used for basking immediately after sunrise, as the slope compensated for the low incidence of solar radiation, thus allowing the same energy gain as on a horizontal surface 1.5 h later. As the angle of incidence increased, the turtles left the banks and moved to the floating solaria. As a consequence, gaining heat appeared to be a crucial activity that outweighed the need to avoid disturbance on the banks of the pond. These observed patterns differ from those recorded in Trachemys scripta by Crawford et al. (1983), who found that basking mostly occurs during the hottest hours of the day. The probable reason is that they studied basking behaviour during summer, when the need for heat is probably less intense than during spring. For the same reason these authors did not observe any behaviour that optimized the angle of incidence of the animal with solar radiation, such as changes of basking places. In most two-species treatments, Emys spp. shifted their basking activity to places considered to be of lower quality, based upon patterns observed in the control ponds (banks), while Trachemys spp. occupied the preferred basking sites. If dominance resulted in more efficient occupation of basking sites, these results suggest the dominance of Trachemys spp. over Emys spp. Agonistic behaviour between the two species was never observed, yet Trachemys spp. consistently occupied the preferred basking sites. This appropriation of better sites was probably due to earlier occupation of the solaria in the competition treatments rather than to interference behaviour, such as superimposition or displacement of other individuals. If superimposition and displacement are not considered properly aggressive behaviour, competition for basking sites results only from exploitation. Trachemys spp. have occasionally been considered aggressive and capable of threatening or biting other individuals (Arvy and Servan 1998). Such aggressive behaviour was never observed here, either at basking sites or in other parts of the ponds. The availability of basking sites for Emys spp. was reduced because this species seemed reluctant to climb onto a solarium that was already occupied by a Trachemys spp., which suggests remote identification of the individual on the solarium and active avoidance of any contact with it. Our results demonstrate a need for estimating the availability of favourable basking sites in natural ponds. Intensive cleaning of pond banks (e.g., removal of logs) decreases the availability of favourable basking places. Thus, artificial solaria may present a good opportunity for monitoring the presence of pond turtles and their interspecific relationships. Wild populations of E. orbicularis usually show low densities from 2 to 30/ha (Mazzotti 1995; Duguy and Baron 1998), whereas T. s. elegans may reach higher densities in its native habitats (up to 100/ha; Cagle 1950). With respect to these densities, the introduction of Trachemys spp. may quickly increase turtle densities and considerably modify habitat utilization, and especially with regard to basking sites. For E. orbicularis, the usual response to disturbance is dispersal (Naulleau 1991). If the introduction of Trachemys spp. acts as a disturbance, E. orbicularis are expected to emigrate. However, habitat patches for E. orbicularis are now so restricted and isolated that any disturbance which would cause dispersal should be avoided. It is suspected that 90% of the animals that are sold as house pets die within the first 12 months (Warwick 1985). If this estimation is applied to French importations of T. s. elegans ( are imported annually), more than have theoretically survived each year since 1985 (Arvy and Servan 1996). We have no precise data on the proportions of these turtles that have been released into native habitats, but we can expect that most fresh waters (large ponds, lakes, rivers) are now inhabited by this species. Because of the decline of E. orbicularis populations, much attention is directed to the conservation of this threatened species. In this context, we consider that the introduction of alien turtle species should always be strongly discouraged. Each government should adopt the principle of caution and prevent any importation of freshwater turtles.

Competitive strategy following privatization
- A Latin American fixed-line carrier needed to prepare for aggressive competition following its privatization. Strategy& was retained to identify a clear strategic direction and develop a company-wide transformation program.
- Strategy& devised a structured approach to deliver practical, effective, and flexible actions by dividing the mission into two integrated work streams: Strategic positioning and transformation program. On the strategic side, we developed the strategic vision and footprint, looked into acquisitions and development of new business, and developed the business plan. On the transformation side, we devised a five-phase program whose effectiveness depended on the precise sequencing of the following actions: (1) Build a transitional organization and identify cost reduction opportunities, (2) identify productivity gains by function and optimize resources, (3) control costs and ensure flexibility of service offerings, (4) integrate supply/demand and reduce number of transactions, and (5) offer dynamic services and optimize contributions. Strategy&'s involvement led to a 70 percent share increase in LD market, cost reduction of 35 percent, increase in cash flows, and increase in total savings.

Jack Nicholson - One of the Best Actors in History
Jack Nicholson is one of the most respected actors in the long and illustrious history of Hollywood. Starring in classics like The Shining, Chinatown and The Postman Always Rings Twice, early in his career, Jack set the stage for a classic attitude display would take place through mega-hits like The Witches of Eastwick, Wolf and the presence of List.Nicholson Cube 's simple to A Few Good Men made the film a great success. His famous phrase: "You can not handle the truth!" Is one of the most repeated movie lines of all time. At 72 years old, Nicholson still going strong.The man we know as "Jack" was born John Joseph Nicholson on April 22, 1937 in Neptune, New Jersey. A child of the Great Depression, Nicholson's early life was typical American, and stood for very little. Jack wanted to be an actor at the time I was finished with school, and soon after he graduated at age 17, he moved west to Los Angeles to try to get into the history of business.Nicholson 's true Life is much like a Hollywood story, and many actors have tried their approach ever since. He worked as an office boy at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and finally got a break and landed a role in The Killer Cry-Baby, a horror film of 1958 by Roger Corman.Shortly after connecting with Roger, Jack met and married his first wife, Sandra Knight, had a daughter, Jennifer, and made a little cut-rate horror movies, even taking the lead in his latest effort with Corman, 1963 is terror. Although a leadership role was not exactly great opportunity to Jack Hollywood. It was still hunting for an opportunity that role.As lucky, actor Rip Torn turned away from the movie Easy Rider in the production and Nicholson called for the resignation of Jack in portrait of a lawyer addicted to alcohol in this classic instant cult earned him the credibility he sought. He was nominated for Supporting Actor Oscar in 1970. Nicholson was already an actor in the lawsuit and won a role in Five Easy Pieces, which he came back to win an Oscar nomination, only this time for Best Actor.Jack was a star in 1970, in fact, he was asked to play Michael Corleone in The Godfather and Johnny Hooker in The Sting. He turned both roles down flat, and Al Pacino and Robert Redford full and have made their careers in these films, respectively. Nicholson went on to win more Oscar buzz for their roles in the last detail and Chinatown.In 1974, his life began to spiral out of control. He learned that his mother was actually his grandmother and her older sister was his mother. He also had a difficult relationship with Angelica Houston. Many say that this time in the life of Jack helped him with his performance in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, where he eventually won the Best Actor Oscar.Over the years, critics claimed that the papers were too similar Nicholson, and Over the years 80 and 90, his films were basically unannounced. Until, that is, shot As Good As It Gets. Nicholson won the Oscar for this role and silenced critics. Jack continues to make films his way, and again and again shows that he is one of the best actors in history.

I like O'Donnell better as well. He is more even keel and the shows seem to run more smoothly, though a bunch of them were is only two or even just one of the regular co-hosts. O'Donnell seems to me to have more of the style of a NPR News Anchor/interviewer than Miller. When Miller chimes in, he's one of the debaters, when O'Donnell chimes in he seems to just be raising a point of a question, not a whole comment.
Along the lines of Eran's comment. Doesn't the muslim reaction in the middle east and such prove the quote's point? If some one is accused of acting or being violent and then gets so pissed off by the accusation that they burn down a building, kill some one or even punch someone, you'd say that they were actually violent.
By Eran Givoni, September 24, 2006 at 2:53 am Link to this comment
The muslim reaction to the pope's comments as they they were to the danish cartoons. but the amazing thing to me is not the wholesale outbreak of violence (threatning to burn down churches, the murder of an italian nun in africa) and the paradigmatic mass insanity the simbolizes today's islam (yes, i know that allot of muslims, maybe even the majority, do not agree with that reaction, but as long as they remain quiet they let the other side represent the islam). what amazes me is the fact that the western world is accepting it, and instead of someone standing up and saying how unacceptable that is and taking a harder line, whole countries have taken up a course of action aimed at figuring out what is wrong with themselves, instead of what is wrong with the reaction.

I agree with Mike. I thought Matt's comment to Arianna was rude in the extreme in the segment abotu President Clinton and Laura Bush.
Mostly what I "hear" is Matt more "right" than "center"; he almost never challenges Tony and dismisses Bob's comments either directly or in his tone of voice.
Bob Scheer is the real voice of reason, objectivity, and moral principle on this program.

Why is Matt Miller so grumpy? If he wants to be the moderator, he has to be more impartial. I much prefer the show when Lawrence O'Donnell is the host.

Sleep Basics
A Answers (9)
Lack of sleep is rampant in our fast-paced society. In this video, Dr. Robin Miller explains how a lack of sleep can affect your body and your waistline.
Find out more about this book:YOU: On A Diet Revised Edition: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management
Sleep deprivation increases hunger and slows down metabolism, thereby promoting weight gain. The underlying mechanisms include:Increasing the level of cortisol, thereby promoting increased appetite, a craving for sugar, and weight gain. An elevated cortisol level also interferes with proper utilization of carbohydrates, leading to an increase in the storage of body fat and insulin resistance, a critical step in the development of obesity and diabetes. Elevating ghrelin and reducing leptin. Ghrelin is an appetite-stimulating hormone released mostly by the stomach. When ghrelin levels are up, people feel hungry. Leptin is a hormone, released by fat cells, that promotes a feeling of satiety.
In population studies, a dose-response relationship between short sleep duration and high body mass index (BMI) has been reported across all age groups. This observation alone indicates that sleeping more may help with weight loss. A very detailed analysis from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study, a large sleep study that has been going on in Wisconsin for more than 15 years, provides even more insight. The participants have been filling out questionnaires about their sleep habits, have kept sleep diaries, and have occasionally spent a night in the laboratory, where researchers studied their sleep in more detail. After sleeping overnight in the laboratory, the participants gave blood samples, which were tested for levels of leptin and ghrelin. What the researchers found is that habitual or acute short sleep duration produces low leptin and high ghrelin levels, a powerful recipe for an increased appetite and for a craving for carbohydrate-rich foods, including cake, candy, ice cream, pasta, and bread.
This is very interesting stuff! Lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain in a number of ways. If you are not sleeping, chances are that you are consuming more calories, and this would make sense for weight gain. But in addition to this, sleep deprivation alters hormones in the body that help us make healthy food choices. Sleep deprivation also increases the chances of heart disease and diabetes by increasing insulin resistance, the method on how your body regulates blood sugar levels. Research studies have shown that even one night of total sleep deprivation can have significantly negative results...so make sure you get plenty of rest.

Thinking of switching to 500 PX. Any ideas.....? I like the photos there and Uploading is easier.
- Listening to: The Time
Throwing in the towel..... by geolioWatch
©2012-2017 geolio
Why not do both? I think 500px has its advantages and its disadvantages. I think it's a higher quality, more upscale place where people are serious about their work. On the other hand, the potential viewers is less, and the uploads are limited unless you pay. I say maintain both and cultivate your best work over there. Give it some time and then decide. Please let me know if you do create one so I can follow you
Yea its taking a lot more time, no real collection. I now have a facebook, a blog, DA, 500px, picasa, and at some point a Wix and Instagram.Its too much work
A lot of limitations with 500px if you don't have a paid account.. but the algorithms in which a photo can get popular is way better as opposed to dA's flawed system. Plus, it focuses solely on photography with a better community and overall content. I'll be keeping both though. Definitely not a place to receive any form of criticism, but then again, i don't see many sites that offer good community support for that.
try and keep your account on here open i have said a many a time of leaving this place but then keep coming back
