The levels of vitamin C, polyphenol constituents and Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity (TEAC) were analyzed in raw kale leaves, blanched leaves and dried leaves obtained using air and freeze-drying methods. 100 g of raw kale leaves contained 683 mg vitamin C and 2236 mg polyphenols (identified using the HPLC method); the level of antioxidative activity was 71 μM Trolox/1 g dry matter. Compared with the raw material, blanching before drying brought about significant decreases of 15% in vitamin C, 32% in polyphenols and13% in TEAC. After 12-month storage, air-dried material retained 30-37% polyphenols; 43-57% vitamin C; and 41-50% of the initial TEAC level; the corresponding values for freeze-dried material were 40-47%; 50-65% and 54-66% depending on the type of sample. Freeze-dried kale leaves contained higher levels of antioxidants than air-dried material: polyphenols, vitamin C and TEAC were respectively 36%, 15%and 33% higher. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Phenolic compounds are a group of key plant metabolites found abundantly in fruit and vegetables. Because of their antioxidant properties, they play a significant role in preventing various degenerative illnesses, tumours or cardiovascular disease. In nature, they are present in foods mainly as esters, glycosides and polymers which need to undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in the digestive tract or by the gut microflora before becoming absorbed. The biological properties of these phenolic compounds undergoing this degradation, are thus governed by their absorption as well as metabolism. Many methods are used to assess the rates and the degrees to which these substances are digested and absorbed, both in vivo and in vitro ones, where the former are the most reliable, although they suffer from various limitations. For this reason, many in vitro models have now arisen to simulate the function of human digestion in the attempt to faithfully re-create real-life conditions. Mechanisms of polyphenols absorption have been principally studied by intestinal epithelial cell models, in particular, those using the Caco-2 cell line.

The intestinal microbiota (IM) is responsible for metabolism of many compounds provided in the diet, such as polyphenols, increasing their bioavailability. However, there are remarkably few studies investigating the influence of polyphenols on the composition and activity of the gut microbial community. This study evaluated the influence of the polyphenols naringenin (N), naringin (NR), hesperetin (H), hesperidin (HR), quercetin (Q), rutin (QR), and catechin (CAT) on the growth of human IM representatives (Bacteroides galacturonicus, Lactobacillus sp., Enterococcus caccae, Bifidobacterium catenulatum, Ruminococcus gauvreauii, Escherichia coli). Polyphenols were added to liquid medium at a final concentration of 20, 100 or 250 μg/ml (for Q concentrations were 4, 20 or 50 μg/ml) and their impact on the IM was assessed by measurement of the turbidity after 24-h culture. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for polyphenols that inhibited bacteria was estimated. CAT had no impact on the tested IM. Q had the strongest impact on R. gauvreauii, B. galacturonicus and Lactobacillus sp. (MIC 20-50 μg/ml) growth, whilst its rutinoside had no impact. NR and HR had no impact, but their aglycones N and H inhibited growth of almost all analyzed bacteria (MIC ≥250 μg/ml). We conclude that flavonoid aglycones, but not their glycosides, may inhibit growth of some intestinal bacteria. This means that polyphenols probably can modulate the IM and indirectly interfere with their own bioavailability.

The paper presents the results of microwave irradiation and conventional heating of honey. These two kinds of thermal treatment result in the formation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF), and changes in the antioxidant potential of honeys, which were studied as well. Four types of honey (honeydew, lime, acacia, buckwheat) were analyzed. Honey samples were subjected to conventional heating in a water bath (WB) at 90 °C up to 60 min or to the action of a microwave field (MW) with constant power of 1.26 W/g of the sample up to 6 min. Changes in the antioxidant capacity of honeys were measured as a percentage of free radical (ABTṠ+ and DPPḢ) scavenging ability. Changes in the total polyphenols content (TPC) (equivalents of gallic acid mg/100 g of honey) were also determined. Formation of HMF in honey treated with a microwave field was faster in comparison with the conventional process. Changes in the antioxidant properties of honey subjected to thermal or microwave processing might have been botanical origin dependent. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of this study was to estimate the long-term effect of wetland drainage on the productivity of Scots pine stands in Poland. Data were obtained from the forested area of the Niepolomice Forest District, which was drained in 1964-1968. To describe the long-term changes in site productivity, a local site index model was developed. The effect of drainage depended primarily on the age of the stand at the time of drainage. A positive growth response (i.e., an increase in height) was observed in stands that were younger than 45-50years at the time of drainage, with younger stands showing stronger responses. Drainage caused an increase in the site productivity of young stands that can be expressed as a change of 5.4m in site index. For fully stocked stands, the average effect of drainage expressed as the predicted increase in total wood production at age 100years was estimated to be approximately 200m 3ha -1 (25%) in those stands planted after drainage. The predicted increase in the total volume of production at total stand age 100years for stands that were 30years old at the time of drainage was estimated to be approximately 125m 3ha -1 (15%). For stands that were 40years old at the time of drainage, the predicted increase in volume production was approximately 50m 3ha -1 (6%). Stands older than 50years at the time of drainage were assumed to be unaffected. © 2012 Elsevier B.V..

General and Comparative Endocrinology | Year: 2013
In all vertebrates, including birds, the normal development of the ovary and ovarian follicles is under the regulatory influence of hormones produced by the reproductive axis. In recent years, it has become clear that in birds an adequate level of thyroid hormones (THs), i.e. thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), in blood circulation is of primary importance for normal female reproductive functions. In avian species, characterized by seasonal reproduction, THs are involved in the photoperiodic regulation of reproduction acting at the mediobasal hypothalamus. In domestic fowl, where the seasonality of reproduction has been eliminated, the role of THs in ovarian function is not fully elucidated. Recent studies have revealed that ovarian follicles of the laying hen express mRNAs of TH nuclear receptors (TRα and TRβ0) as well as integrin (αVβ3) plasma membrane receptors, indicating genomic and nongenomic action of THs in the chicken ovary. In vivo experiments carried out on laying hens have showed that the bolus injection of T3 decreases levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) in blood, and a hyperthyroid state evoked by administration of T3 for few days diminishes LH, E2 and progesterone (P4) levels, reduces the weight of the ovary, induces atresia of preovulatory follicles and eventually causes stoppage of egg laying. In vitro studies have demonstrated that T3 decreases E2 secretion from white nonhierarchical follicles and the theca layer of yellow preovulatory follicles, while on the other hand, it elevates P4 production from the granulosa layer of these follicles. These effects have been associated with steroidogenic enzyme expression and cyclic AMP synthesis. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the role of THs in regulation of steroidogenesis in chicken ovarian follicles. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

The field experiment was carried out on a smooth-stalked meadow-grass to analyse the effect of tractor traffic on herbage production and root morphology. The multiple passes of tractor changed physical properties of soil. Increase in bulk density and penetration resistance of soil under smooth-stalked meadow-grass was recorded up to the depth of 30 cm. The tractor traffic resulted in changes in smooth-stalked meadow-grass yields. During the second and the third harvest it was found that wheel traffic decreased plant yields. For the first harvest the opposite effect in herbage production was noticed. The tractor traffic significantly changed the root morphometric properties in the upper, 0-5 cm, soil layer. Intensive tractor traffic (four and six passes) significantly increased the root length in diameter range of 0.1-0.5 mm. There were no differences in both mean root diameter and specific root length what indicated that traffic treatment applied did not change the root diameter. The results indicate that smooth-stalked meadow-grass could be recommended for compacted soils when intensive traffic is present. © 2013 Institute of Agrophysics.

During the 20th century grassland production systems were intensified with higher rates of nitrogen usage and increasing heavy vehicular activity. This tendency is reflected in the higher soil degradation risk. However, in recent years European agri-environmental policies have promoted low-input grassland management practices. These changes in fertilization intensity may interact with the effects of machine traffic in affecting soil physical properties. The objective of this study, was to investigate the influence of soil compaction caused by tractor traffic and N fertilization levels on a soil pore system under a clover/grass mixture during the period from 2010 to 2012. This experiment was established in a split-plot design with fertilization as a main plot and soil compaction as a subplot. The N fertilizer treatments used were: untreated control (N0), 80kg Nha-1 (N80) and 160kg Nha-1 (N160). Four compaction treatments were applied using the following number of tractor passes: untreated control (P0), two passes (P2), four passes (P4) and six passes (P6). Undisturbed soil samples were collected in 2010-2012 in order to determine the water retention parameters and morphometric characterization of soil pores. The soil water characteristic curve was determined using pressure plates. The soil macropore system was also characterized using image analysis on the sections of soil samples hardened with polyester resin. The mineral fertilization did not significantly affect any physical parameters of soil at the trial. The intensive wheeling resulted in a higher value of bulk density and penetration resistance and lower values of total porosity. The soil compaction has distinctly influenced the soil water retention characteristics in the high matric potential range, which corresponds mainly with large pores (transmission pores and fissures) and storage pores. The result of changes in soil porosity was to increase the plant available water capacity. On the other hand, the relative field capacity indicated that in compacted soil under grassland plants, the biological activity was limited by insufficient soil aeration. This conclusion is in agreement with the results in plant production, which showed decrease in root and above ground biomass as the result of compaction. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

In Central Europe, a large portion of post-mining sites were afforested with Scots pine, which is characterized by good adaptability and a tolerance for poor habitat at the beginning of forest ecosystem development. Conversion of monoculture on mine sites into more biodiverse mixed hardwood forests, especially on more fertile deposits, can be an emerging need in this part of Europe in next decades. The ability to classify the forests at these post-mining sites will facilitate proper species selection as well as the management and formation of the developed ecosystem's stability. This work describes the guidelines that can be followed to assess reclaimed mine soil (RMS) quality, using the mine soil quality index (MSQI) and a classification of developed forest sites as a basis of tree-stand species selection and conversion of pine monocultures. The research was conducted on four post-mining facilities (lignite, hard coal, sulphur, and sand pit mining areas) on different RMS substrates dominant in Central Europe. Soil quality assessment takes into account the following features of the soil: texture soil nutrients (Ca, Mg, K, Na, P); acidity (pH KCl); and Corg-to-Nt ratio in the initial organic horizon. An analysis was conducted of classification systems using the MSQI validation correlation (at p =0.05) with vegetation features affected by succession: aboveground biomass of forest floor and ecological indicators of vascular plants (calculated on the basis of Ellenberg's (2009) system). Eventually, in the analysed data set, the MSQI ranged from 0.270 for soils on quaternary sands to 0.720 for a mix of quaternary loamy sands with neogene clays. Potential forest habitat types and the role of the pine in the next generation of tree stands on different RMS parent rock substrate were proposed. © 2014 Northeast Forestry University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the amino acid content and protein quality in products of immature bean seeds with a dry matter content of 40%. The investigation included raw seeds, fresh seeds after cooking to consumption consistency and seeds after canning. Raw seeds of the cultivar Alamo contained more amino acids in 100 g fresh matter than the seeds of the cultivars Flaforte and Mona. Cooking and sterilisation brought about decreases in the content of all the amino acids in the investigated cultivars; 1-50% and 9-60% respectively. Higher losses being noted in sterilised seeds. If the results were expressed in 16 g N, the differences in amino acid content were much smaller. The amino acid content of Mona was lower than that of the remaining cultivars. The cooking of seeds did not bring about changes in relation to the raw material (except tyrosine which showed a decrease 35-45%); however, sterilisation affected the content of most amino acids (from -45 to +17%). Compared with the standard (FAO/WHO/UNU, 2007), the limiting amino acid was cystine with methionine (amino acid score 70-83). Of the seeds prepared for consumption, sterilised bean seeds had a higher EAA index value, while of the cultivars, the seeds of Alamo had the highest value (147-162). © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Apple hack now linked to Eastern Europe
Apple's recent hack, initially attributed to hackers out of China, is now claimed to have come from Eastern Europe. At least 40 companies — including Apple, Facebook, and Twitter — were targeted by malware from an Eastern European gang of hackers attempting to "steal company secrets," according to a new report containing more details about the hacks. People familiar with the matter said the hackers want company secrets, research, and intellectual property they can "sell underground." Company computers were initially infected by malware — implanted through a browser security flaw — at the iPhone developer site iphonedevsdk.com. Investigators have tracked at least one of the servers used by the hackers to a Ukraine hosting company. [via Bloomberg]

Jay is the kind of person who takes pride in the help he gives to others. When he was younger, he was always there to help his friends and teammates whenever they asked for him and was a leader in his community and extracurricular activities. When he could no longer play basketball, he became an assistant coach and continued to coach when he moved to Europe. He isn't exactly the best teacher academically, but he does try his hardest to make sure his students succeed. Jay always finds a way to get what he wants through hard work. He wasn't looked on as a kid to be a good basketball player, but he worked hard to get considered by schools. Even after his injury forced him to stop playing, he wanted to stay in the game and he worked to develop his coaching skills. After the move to Europe he wanted to develop kids that he saw a special talent in, but people didn't want on a major team. He had to fight to get them into Tsukuba, which he eventually did. It's this kind of determination that has managed to get him where he is and he plans to keep being that person.
Coach Barkley's noticeable feature is his bad leg. When he was a freshman in college, he had a severe leg injury that forced him out of basketball early and has forced him to walk with a cane for the rest of his life. This has limited his mobility and things he can do. This injury has affected him more than just physically, as he still feels angry at the fact his life hasn't gone as planned, giving him a short-fuse temper and his tendency to disappear for days at a time and heavy smoking to help take his mind off things. Jay is a habitual smoker. He developed it the year of his basketball injury as a way to deal with the stress and he continues it to this day. His addiction is to the point where it interferes with his life sometimes, letting the class take breaks so he can go out to smoke or handing off practices to the team captain so he can take a smoke. He gets constantly reprimanded for his smoking, but he doesn't stop at all.
Jay Barkley was once one of the most promising young athletes in America. While he wasn't a prime athlete in the early years of his high school, he worked hard and got accepted to the University of Colorado on a basketball scholarship. In his freshman year of college, his level of play started to turn a lot of heads and he was seen as a possible NBA draft pick if he declared himself eligible. However, during the last game of his freshman season, he tripped into a bad play and had a large player collapse on him, causing his leg to fracture in multiple places and his knee ligaments to be torn. Despite all the best reconstructive surgery that could be performed, his leg could not properly heal and he was forced off the basketball court for good. Life after that was hard. He went from being a top prospect to an embarrassing bust, earning the nickname "The Great Bust". Jay managed to get his life partially back on track by focusing more on his studies, however. He stayed the next three years at college, earning a degree in education as well as serving as an assistant coach for the basketball team.
He attempted a teaching career after college, but the main passion of his life was still basketball, but he could no longer play and no coaching position of note was open in America. With that, he moved to Italy to try and find himself a new career in basketball. In Italy, he found himself in the coach's seat for a youth team that was often a stepping stone for players bound for national competition. Jay enjoyed the new position, finally being in charge for once. There, he developed his skills and was a hit with the players he coached, being a popular coach among them. He was a frequent visitor of international tournaments due to his team's successes. There he found other teams that were interested in him and he kept an eye on certain players that kept his interest. After a few years in Italy, he approached players that were interested in working with him from other countries and he started a team that played in the summer and fall, outside of the normal season, to play exhibition games and he could teach them in practices in between games. The players on this team were young kids, not yet eligible for international play, as he could get to help them before they hit a big stage.
This team had him in the care of several players he really took a shine to personally and professionally. He took his five best players and asked them if they wanted to work with him more in a setting where they could develop more as a team. The only way he could think to do this was in a scholastic setting. He talked to several schools that were interested in them but no school in Europe was willing to import a team as culturally diverse as theirs wholesale. The only two schools willing to accept them were a public high school in California, and the private Tsukuba Academy in Japan. While America may have been better for them as a team, he opted to take them to Japan as the education for the team would be better. Coming in the halfway mark of the year, he has given his students a good education, a chance to grow as a team, and is the guardian for his players. This team is the biggest project he has ever undertaken, but to him, these kids are like his family and he wants the best for them, and he is going to work to provide that for him.
Coming Soon!
Coming Soon!
- Jake enjoys teaching & mentoring kids.
- He still likes playing basketball.
- He likes to spend his weekends in the city.

Amish Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Recipe by Codychop
An Amish recipe I'm putting here to try later.
Top Review by mayafamcook
Well...I have never before tried a recipe that wasn't already rated, but since I have this (misunderstood) obsession with anything Amish, I decided to try it. I had to make adjustments since I live over 7,000 ft.(incl. cutting out 6tb of sugar) The dough is VERY dry and crumbly. I had to form balls with my hands and press down. It created a dense but very chewy cookie. I didn't think it had much flavor (i even added cinnamon) but that could be because I cut down on the sugar due to the HA adj. I added an add'l tsp of liquid. Everyone else in the fam loved them though . They are more filling than the typical cookie, more cake-like. I will make them again, but up the sugar a little.

My name is Jessica Outram and I'm the writer here. It's been nearly ten years since I started my first blog. Connecting with people online is exciting. We can share our questions, our learnings, our favourite stuff. We can document our thinking as it shifts. I love the blog form because it encourages the reader to become part of the story. It's like hitchhiking across the country, exchanging stories with strangers, trusting each other with our truths (and our lives), and leaving "I was here" markers along the way.
Since becoming a principal I've found it tough to find time to write. My artist's soul craves lengthy reflections and opportunities for creative expression. Creativity is my peace. Through writing I make new connections with you (the reader/visitor) and new connections within my learning. A blog is excellent because it's immediate and short, but most of all it's a reminder for me to make time for creative explorations.
One thing you should know is that my writing here is always a work in progress, a thought in progress. I don't have a grand master plan here at all. It's just about showing up and writing about what comes.

More About Sunshine in a Jar
How can I be a light for myself and others?
I began my work with the metaphor "sunshine in a jar" over a decade ago. The phrase appeared in a poem I was writing. Now it has moved its way through many poems, stories, and my Master of Arts thesis.
Jars give things a certain form the way stories form our understanding. Jars can symbolize the collected stories and experiences of our inner lives. By capturing memory and thoughts in metaphorical jars, we can hold a moment up to the light for a closer look through the transparent walls.
Moments spiral through each day of our lives, to heal, to teach, to entertain, to ignite change, and to help us understand what it means to be human.
When we take the lid off the jar, we can take things out or put things inside. It's about freedom. And learning is about freedom too.

On behalf of the Autodesk React Structures team I am pleased to provide you with our first of many Technical Previews of our next generation structural analysis platform. I am the Senior Product Line Manager here at Autodesk responsible for our AEC focused simulation and analysis solutions, and I am very excited to make this available to you, and want to ask you to help us build the best structural analysis tool to meet your design and engineering needs.
So we want to give you some insight as to what spawned this project, where we are currently, and where we want it to go, with your help.
React Structures came to be by way of customer feedback.
We heard from many of our customers that they were ready for a new, modern, purpose-built analysis platform. They are getting tired of the tools they have been using and didn't feel that they were continuing to meet their needs. They liked the capabilities of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, but wanted something more tightly integrated with the rest of the Autodesk portfolio. They also needed a solution that was easy to learn and easy to use. We took a good hard look at the technologies we had, the needs and feedback of our customers, and the feedback from a lot of potential customers. We started to reimagine the workflows that engineers need to complete to design their projects, and we started to look at what a modern analysis tool should provide and how it should behave.
Building on the proven and trusted foundation of Robot Structural Analysis Professional, which is used by tens of thousands of engineers on countless projects around the globe, we started to rebuild our analysis platform. We are excited to share the first results, which you can download and try today.
Why are we doing this now?
We want and need your feedback. This is an early look into what we are building. It is by no means complete and you will see things that are not enabled or maybe even missing. Rest assured, they will be coming. We will be providing frequent updates which will expose new functionality and features, incorporate your feedback, and fix issues that you identify. We will be asking for your opinions on the things we are working on, and we might even ask you to test out a workflow or two and give us some feedback on how it went for you. This is the opportunity to tell us what you need from your next analysis tool. Great customer feedback is one of the most important building blocks for a great software product.
So we would like to invite you to download this Technology Preview, have a look at what has been built, tell us what you think and what you need next, and tell us where you want this product to go.
We hope you like what we have started to build and look forward to working with you in the forums!

Was: $153.99
Save $26.92 (17%)
I originally bought an 8' x 10' version og this rug. It was a little big for the area I had it in but it was beyond gorgeous! I have a puppy who suddenly became interested in it and chewed a giant hole in an area I could not hide. But I loved it so much I purchased it again but in the smaller size. I am putting it up until the puppy is a dog. This is the most eye catching, interesting rug I have ever owned. It really makes a statement. It is very high qualirt and will add life to any room. It seems to go with everything. I have dark brown couches that go beautifully next to it even though there is no brown in the rug at all. I painted one livingroom wall the asme shade of red to accent the rug and it looks stunning.Read More
Beautiful pattern and colors but poor quality! This rug would look great as long as it never got any use. Within just a few months it shows more wear and pilling than rugs that we've had for years. Such a shame because it's really pretty but is not good for high traffic areas.Read More
I bought these as front entryway area rugs and although the colors and pattern are pretty, the fibers shred which leaves a "comb over" of fibers from the black to the lighter areas. My new puppy scratched it and instantly pulled up multiple loops which of course will ruin these in no time. I found other loose loops which I pulled under to the backing but I don't expect these to last very long. Disappointed because I bought a wool loop rug for my kitchen that survived 10 years of abuse from the vacuum, spills, dirt, etc. and I never had a loop unravel. These may be OK for a very low traffic area like a bedroom or a minimally used dining room but don't recommend for any areas that get traffic or may collect dirt. If you have pets, don't even think about it.Read More
I bought this rug to use at my Son's Wedding in my Courtyard outside. It will be a HIT!! It is very plush and a real show stopper. I will be using it outdoors , so think I will protect it with scotch guard for this particular occassion.Read More
We have an alternative physician's office and this rug is in one of our exam rooms. Patients mostly like it (we like it), some absolutely hate it. It is modern (whereas the office building is 100 yr old).Read More
These colors in this rug are fabulous and the style is perfect for the room I put it in. However, within days the loops started unraveling. I've trimmed the stray threads, not knowing what else to do, but the amount of loose loops is overwhelming. I can't keep up with the trimming and I'm assuming before long the rug will begin to come apart from all the trimming. The rug, after only a couple months, looks awful. I guess if you were going to put this rug into a room where NO ONE enters, then I could recommend it but for any other situation, no way.Read More
Fabulous rug. I would definitely recommend a rug, pad. Also, not that because the rug is hand hooked, the loops are sensitive to being pulled, so you may not want this in a place where there is a tendency for pulling, as it is difficult to repair.Read More
I love this rug. It's definitely more orange than the picture shows but it still worked in another room in my house. The quality is great and I absolutely LOVE this rug.Read More
This was the first rug I purchased for my kitchen nook and I was so pleased with the quality and colors that I bought another for the dining room floor.Read More
I love this rug! It is very accurately represented in the picture, and it works perfectly in my space. I was also impressed with how quickly it arrived. Very pleased!Read More
This rug is a must for anyone who appreciates quality, design and rich colors. I wish I had purchased the largest rug available. I didn't expect the rug to be so beautiful! It looks great in my dining area which is modern and simple.Read More
I really like this rug, it looks great in my room. I had read that the colors were not accurate, that the red was more coral but I felt it was represented correctly. My only drawback is if something catches a loop it will pull the thread loose. This has happened twice and both times I clipped the thread and you can't see where the spot is. I have been more careful not to let this happen again, as I am afraid it may affect the durability.Read More
Purchased it for my daughter's apartment. It fit perfectly and looks scrumptious.Read More
The colors are virtually the same as what is on my screen. This was a concern for me after reading some of the reviews that said the reds were not the same. The red is a tad redder than the pic, but not enough to be misleading. I love the energy and color this rug brings to my back porch. I am trying to create a tropical feel to it with greenery and colorful furniture and this pulls it all together.Read More
I ordered this rug for my dining room thinking if it is placed under the table and chairs the bold pattern would be minimized. I was shocked when the rug arrived because the pattern seemed larger than shown and the "red" is not red at all and is more of a coral color. Luckily, I like coral so I will keep it and decorate around it. As far as the quality goes it is a nice heavy rug with quality backing. Unfortunately, after one day on the floor my Maltese scratched it with his nails and pulled four pieces so think twice if this rug will go in a high traffic area or where animals spend time. Overall, the rug is nice if you like bold patterns and colors and I would recommend it to others.Read More
If you want to add some high fashion to your room, this is it! We have had numerous compliments on it in our sun room. It couldn't be more perfect! Love it!Read More
...the color description is a bit off. (See color comment). Ok for the price. Would return if there was a brick store to go to, but it is not worth the hassle so I'm going to put in the basement for now. Other than the color, the product looks just like the picture (though quality is slightly less than I anticipated. Average quality--not great, not poor). I'd buy again, though, if I had an orangey-red or green room. Just doesn't cut it though if you are looking for something with pure or true red accents.Read More
Well after ordering a number of rugs from Overstock and returning some of them, I will say it again. For the price of these rugs, Overstock really really needs to do a better job on the color descriptions. I even checked with Customer Service on this one before ordering to tell me the exact colors that were in this rug. They said it is Red/Black and there are tones of white. Okay I thought I was safe. My kitchen is a true red - not burgundy and not deep orange. The quality of the rug is good - although I am worried about my dogs nails on it. When I opened it the red is actually a deep orange. I can tell it is off but honestly I am now tired of returning rugs and asking questions only to be disappointed. The actual design of the rug is pretty and the rest of the colors match the display from my monitor, it is just the so called "red". I think I will now give up on ordering rugs from Overstock. The quality is good but until they get better descriptions I think I will hold off.Read More

About this book
Greg Rappleye's Figured Dark is a collection of contemporary lyric and narrative poems, set in an American landscape, which takes as its implicit theme the journey of the soul from darkness into light.
The voices in the collection call across a vast landscape of myth, memory, and horrific wreckage. In the title poem, speaking of the phenomenon of fireflies rising at night from a southern field, he writes, "I could read this down to a million tiny bodies, / blazing the midnight trees," but the reader is left to wonder whether any extravagant numbering can account for the massed starlings, dreamy raptors, dome-lighted Firebirds, flaming bodies, junk cars, and deadly archangels that come to ground in Rappleye's world, where the spiritual exhaustion of Odysseus is visited upon Brian Wilson, and the young John Berryman seeks recompense from a wily family in northern Michigan.
These poems are by turns wise, elegiac, ironic, and wickedly funny. This is a poet who refuses easy categories. If these poems are anything, they are affidavits of a heart at work, building out of darkness a kind of wild redemption, hard-earned in the real world.
Figured Dark is part of the University of Arkansas's Poetry Series, edited by Enid Shomer.
About the author
Greg Rappleye is corporation counsel for Ottawa County, Grand Haven, Michigan. He's the author of two poetry collections, Holding Down the Earth and A Path Between Houses, and two chapbooks. A past Bread Loaf Fellow in poetry, he has won a number of awards, including a Pushcart Prize, the Paumanok Poetry Award, and the Brittingham Prize, and he was the first runner up for the 2007 Dorset Prize.
"Oh the fine, brawling, pungent observation of these poems: 'the smog-brown sea,' 'the baggies-drooping sea'; Homer would be exhilarated and appalled. Greg Rappleye revives the language and revives our powers of seeing. Figured Dark is shot through with light. "
—Linda Gregerson, author of Waterborne and Magnetic North
"Rappleye's poems in Figured Dark come from an imagination without peer. There is nothing predictable about them. As Pound urged his heirs to, Rappleye does make it new, plumbing the palpable ordinary, with a dazzling diversity of images, and through a window we've not looked into before."
—Dan Gerber, author of A Primer on Parallel Lives and A Voice from the River
"Figured Dark is a lovely book, heart-stopping, at moments, for its directness. The poems feature a conversational and lyrical plainness. Greg Rappleye fires and tempers metaphor, talk, cultural and literary allusion, and emotion so skillfully that readers can look through to the heart of the matter—the odd details of living and what goodness remains after death's insinuations. 'What does the body want? / To be a crucible says the body,' the poet writes. Figured Dark is crucible."
—Carol Frost, author of The Queen's Desertion

We've said it before, but it bears repeating that the popularity of characters such as Captain America and the willingness of comic writers and artists to confront the Axis threat went a long way toward mobilizing a heretofore isolationist American populace in the long, dark days of the late 30s and early 40s. While many other art forms desperately avoided or ignored the ugly truth of Europe's rapid slide into fascism and Nazism in an obvious attempt to protect their own financial interests overseas, the almost entirely US-based comics business, staffed and developed largely by fugitives from those same wartime horrors, boldly waved the flag of freedom, most notably in this instant classic. Readers immediately fell in love with this gutsy, gleefully aggressive new hero, who wore his allegiance on his sleeve (well, his forehead, at any rate) and made his intent powerfully clear by taking aim directly at the mustachioed puss of the Fuhrer himself. In these pre-Pearl Harbor days, such an image was simply incendiary, and copies flew off shelves almost immediately, leading to a nearly 75 year run as the preeminent symbol of American heroism.
The premieres of the Captain America and Avengers movies have catapulted Captain America's popularity into the stratosphere. His star is on the rise. The demand for Captain America Comics 1 has grown exponentially over the last two years. Records are constantly being set and broken. With two more Cap and Avengers movies scheduled the demand will grow and grow.
In addition to panelologists, auctions of this momentous comic draw the interests of collectors of WWII memorabilia, Americana, and even Nazi ephemera, all the way down to even the most-casual enthusiast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Throw in the nearly unique nature surrounding this particular issue, and this comic is sure to create a buzz like no other.
Printed without red inks, inconclusive reports suggest there could only be a couple of these out there, but even CGC can't confirm or deny this information; this is a rare sight to behold. It's also been noted that an all-red error cover, missing yellow ink, was also manufactured. In April of 2016, ComicConnect sold a non-error VF 8.0 copy for $288,000.

Andrew Lukefahr - Teaching Statement
From smartphones to automobiles, computers are ubiquitous, connecting us and enriching our lives. These devices are the result of a creative and innovative community of dedicated engineers and scientists. Today, an increasing number of students are eager to be part of that community. I am excited to have the opportunity to teach and encourage these students in the process of joining that community.
At Michigan, I have been a primary instructor for two undergraduate level courses, "Programming and Introductory Data Structures" and "Introduction to Computer Organization". "Programming and Introductory Data Structures" is a sophomore-level course which broadens and deepens students' programming knowledge, while teaching best programming and testing practices. Topics covered include procedural and data abstraction in C++, pointers, linked-list, and basic tree structures. "Introduction to Computer Organization" covers the basics of what is going on "under-the-hood" of modern processors, helping students understand how to take advantage of this internal architecture to write more efficient software. Topics covered include instruction-set architecture (ISA), linking/loading, pipelining, branch prediction, caches, prefetching, virtual memory, input/output devices, and performance evaluation.
With hundreds of students spread across multiple sections, multiple instructors, numerous graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants, these are large classes that required significant coordination and management. Simple errors can quickly become a large problem. One area that I give particular focus is on ensuring the timeliness and quality of the assignments and exams. Additionally, for "Introduction to Computer Organization" I designed a lecture unit on cache prefetching, a technique which predicts memory access patterns and tries to pre-buffer the data before it is actually requested.
Classes of this size require constant effort to prevents students from "slipping through the cracks" or becoming "just a number". Poor experiences with course staff can have a dramatic impact on a student's willingness to learn. It is essential to make every student feel that you care. Practically speaking, this means students with special circumstances should receive prompt resolution, errors in grading should be corrected quickly, and plagiarism checks should be tough but fair. Again, the sheer scale of the course adds to these challenges.
I believe that students are more willing to learn from an instructor who is invested in them. Being prepared for lectures, learning students' names, and a willingness to listen show an investment in the students that is reflected in their attitudes toward learning.
My lectures are loosely modeled on an active-learning style [2], where I deliver short lecture segments followed by in-class practice problems. Students are given time to work on the problems in small groups before we solve the problem together. This not only gives the students a chance to actively engage with the material, but also helps them learn to communicate and problem solve together within a small group. A major advantage of this approach is encouraging small-group participation. Especially for students struggling with self-confidence or feeling self-conscious, small groups can help them feel more comfortable interacting and give them a sense of belonging.
Unfortunately, it seems much of the traditional CS education has emphasized "lone-wolf" programming, and discourages communication between the students. Yet, once these students enter the workforce, programming writing becomes a community activity. Their code will be uploaded to a global repository where it will be reviewed and revised by others. "Programming and Introductory Data Structures" introduced (optional) pair-programming [1], helping students learn how to function as a team, rather than just how to program. These pairings encourage the development of communication skills that will be necessary to thrive in largely team-based workforce.
I strive to embrace technology where it can improve the learning experience. For example, recorded lectures allow students to learn or review any course material on their own schedule. It can also have a major impact on how we teach. For example, writings on a whiteboard can become illegible on recordings, whereas Powerpoint slides and a stylus remain clear. Additionally, a tablet coupled with mobile screencasting technologies free the lecturer to move around the room while maintaining the ability to instantly write to the projected screen.
As a computer architect, I have experience spanning electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. This positions me to teach a wide variety of courses. At the introductory level this includes circuit theory, digital logic, and programming courses. More advanced courses include data structures and algorithms, embedded systems, controls, assembly programming, digital circuits, computer organization, and computer architecture. Finally, I have experience teaching large classes and managing the associated staff, infrastructure, and curriculum.
For institutions with only a introductory architecture course, I am also excited about bringing a second computer architecture courses, similar to the "Computer Architecture" course at Michigan. While the introductory course introduces the students to pipelining, it omits a very important component of modern processors, out-of-order execution. This component, introduced in the second architecture course, is found in virtually every computer from servers to smartphones today. Additionally, this course can feature major design projects that culminate with the students writing a fully-functional state-of-the-art processor design in Verilog. Students who have successfully completed this course are valued by both traditional hardware companies, e.g., Intel, AMD, and ARM, and companies optimizing performance for large datacenters, e.g., Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.
I am excited for the opportunity to teach, and to help introduce my students to the future of computing that has continued to excite me throughout my college experience. My goal as an educator is effectively lead, teach, and mentor students to help them excel both inside and outside the classroom.

Obama and Business Owners Differ On How To Create Jobs
Posted by Jason | Posted in Government | Posted on 30-11-2009
Go figure! Business owners who create jobs everyday differ from our President, who never created or worked at a job that had a real economic value to it.
Businesses of all sizes are brimming with proposals they say would spur economic growth. The most commonly voiced are tax cuts and boosting access to credit
The White House, for its part, wants to discuss job growth in the clean-tech sector and shifting some stimulus spending to infrastructure projects. Obama aides are also eyeing a limited range of incentives for small businesses to create jobs.
Business want tax cuts without spending cuts, and Obama wants more government spending. Wonder why gold keeps going up? If businesses weren't looking for handouts, they'd be asking for the government to get the hell out of the economy and quit "boosting access to credit". It's the boosting of access to credit that created the bubble that just burst and now leaves them in the predicament they are in. We really cannot expect any better from Obama than more government spending. He believes all life's value comes from the hand of government. Besides, the media has told him repeatedly how smart his is. "He's possibly the most intellectual President we've ever had."
Another point of contention: A number of chief executives say the government should clear up uncertainty over health care, energy prices and financial regulations. "Companies large and small are saying, 'I am not going to do anything until these things — health care, climate legislation — go away or are resolved,' " said Dan DiMicco, chief executive of steelmaker Nucor Corp.
Who didn't know that government medaling is causing businesses to stand still? How about government drop all this stuff, so businesses can get back to what they do best, which is creating economic value.
"Hiring often takes time to catch up to economic growth," said Valerie Jarrett, an adviser on business issues to President Barack Obama.
Thanks Commissar Jarrett! When will we have economic growth?
Among those invited are the chief executives of Boeing Co., AT&T Inc. and FedEx Corp., along with the heads of many smaller companies.
Oh boy. I'm sure these big companies will not ask for government money. Do they bring their own money jars, or does Obama hand them out at the door?
For small businesses, the No. 1 issue is credit, which remains tight despite the billions spent by the government helping ailing banks.
Yeah, but just imagine how much worse things would be if we didn't give almost $1 trillion to Obama's buddies. Right! We bailed out Wall Street in order to bail out Main Street. I don't think credit is going to make a dimes worth a difference when you have the Federal governments foot pressed firmly down on your neck. Again, easy credit lead to this mess. Expanding credit will not fix the problem. It will just setup the next bubble followed by more disaster down the future. Then again! The government can step in and take more control when the next bubble bursts.
Ron DeFeo, CEO of Terex Corp., a maker of heavy construction equipment, said tight credit is hurting his customers. "Small businesses are having a tough time capitalizing any piece of equipment." Terex has laid off 4,000 people over the past 15 months. Mr. DeFeo said he would "hire 100 people right now" if the government offset a portion of the new hires' salary with tax incentives.
via White House, Business Leaders Split on How to Create Jobs – WSJ.com.
Is this supposed to be a reason to go more in debt? This guy says he'd hire 100 people right now if the government would give him more money? That simply means the employees can't produce enough value to justify paying them. The only way they can justify paying them is with a government subsidy. While I am all for getting rid of taxes, just saying I'll hire with tax incentives is ridiculous. What he is saying is all the other average Joes out there should give him money so he can make those jobs justifiable. I wonder if this guy pays for health benefits. Would dropping health benefits provide enough to justify the positions? Has he looked into HSA for his employees? Does he have ancient equipment that makes employees less productive, thus making it harder to justify paying them? Who knows. The point is we should not just hand out money to anyone to justify creating jobs. We don't know if the jobs are worth creating.
If you want real job creation, the government needs to get out of job creation. The free market when left alone creates good jobs for everyone. The jobs are long term, because they can justify themselves. If a job generates profits, it's justified. If it cannot, it should not be created. If the government would get out of health care, corporate welfare, entitlement programs, environmental frauds, etc, the cost of each job would go down. Guess what happens? Many more jobs then become justifiable, and then they are created.

We got to review the Brinkman Adventures again recently with the Schoolhouse Review Crew and were sent The Brinkman Adventures: Season 3 on CD in the mail.
The Brinkman Adventures is a Christian audio drama series available on CD or as an MP3 download. The CDs come in a clamshell case that holds 4 CDs and the sheet with episode titles.
Season 3 of the Brinkman Adventures contains 12 episodes creating 5 hours of listening enjoyment. Each episode is about 25 minutes long.
The Episodes in Season 3 are…
- God's Mule : The adventures of a Bible Smuggler and how he came to be one.
- Mountain Mover : More Bible Smuggling
- The Silent Ambassador : A shy little girl does big things for God
- Translating Trouble : The beginning of a Bible Translation story
- Man-Up : A hair raising adventure in the Alaskan wilderness
- Acorns & Oaks : This is a sweet story about an elderly man who thinks he's past his prime and also a miracle of a children's camp near China.
- A Saint's Story, Pt. 1: Nate Saint's son's story part 1
- A Saint's Story, Pt. 2 : Nate Saint's son's story part 2
- Untouched : A change of heart for a young man
- Busy Bees and a Bullhorn : Some wrapping up of the story in Acorns & Oaks and family drama
- Missionary Tourist, Pt. 1 : An exciting mission trip that takes place in Kashmir
- Missionary Tourist Pt. 2 : continuing drama in Kashmir
The missionary stories are cleverly woven into the daily regular happenings of the Brinkman family and brought about in a way that carries you right to the scene.
In the first episode, God's Mule, a missionary's story, Thomas Gomez, is being transcribed for a blog. As the transcription is being read we are transported to the setting. The background and setting noises are perfect. Close your eyes and use your imagination to set the scene. Thomas Gomez wants to do something different with his life than his father planned for him. As Christians we must sometimes do very hard things. He goes on bring Bibles to a country where that could send him to jail. He is also led by God to be just where He wants him to be.
Later on the Brinkmans travel to Ecuador and tour with the Auca/Waodoni people. There is some witnessing going on and it's a memorable trip for all.
These are just a few of the exciting stories in this series.
As one who has lived and traveled in countries where there is not as much "light" you come to find that God can work in amazing ways among much darkness. Miracles are alive and well today.
When it comes to the Brinkman Adventures we find many opportunities to kickback and listen. Usually my daughter and I will listen while crafting or cooking in the kitchen. I find that I tend to lose track of what I'm doing and really get into the stories so it helps to being doing something automatic and mundane. My husband has to be totally doing nothing but listening because that's how he is about his Faith stuff.
I just love these audio stories. I grew up on missionary stories. Brother Andrew, Nate Saint, and many more were names heard in stories at my mother's knee. It's lovely to be able to pass on the tradition to my own daughter and to hear many more stories from present day missionaries.
Listening to the Brinkman Adventures also never fails to inspire my daughter. She now wants to be a missionary too.
In this day of awful news and so much technology grabbing our children's attention it's wonderful to have something entertaining based on truth and using the imagination.
