Element Fact
Ytterbium, Yb
Atomic number: 70
Atomic mass: 173.04(3)
Natural abundance: 3.1 ppm
168Yb (167.933894) - 0.13%
170Yb (169.934759) - 3.05%
171Yb (170.936322) - 14.3%
172Yb (171.936378) - 21.9%
173Yb (172.938207) - 16.12%
174Yb (173.938858) - 31.8%
176Yb (175.942568) - 12.7%
History and Production
The name is given after a village in Sweden, Ytterby. Discovered by J.C.G. de Marignac in 1878 from erbia earth (a mixture of rare earths oxides such as holmium, erbium etc.). In 1907, G. Urbain and independently C.A. von Welsbach showed that Marignac's sample was in fact a concentrate mixture of ytterbium and lutetium.
It is now recover commercially from monazite which contains about 0.03% of the metal. Ion-exchange and solvent extraction techniques are used to isolate the salts from other rare earths. The metal itself can be obtained by the reduction of oxide (Yb2O3) with lanthanum metal and then follow by distillation.
At the moment, there is no major commercial use of the metal. It has possible use to improve mechanical properties of stainless steel and as a radiation source for portable X-ray machine.
Physical Data
It is a silvery white, malleable and ductile metal. It reacts slowly with water. At room temperature, the metal exists in b form with a face centered packing structure. The metal is usually associated with other rare eraths in minerals such as monazite, xenotime and euxenite. Its natural abundance is about 3.1 ppm of the earth's crust.

The inaugural ceremony drew 1,000 of the most influential people in the Asian community and raised over £100,000 for its chosen charity, Save the Children. Visit www.theasianawards.com for further information.

Japan and North Korea have agreed to resume working-level government talks Saturday and Sunday in Beijing, and Tokyo again will demand the abduction issue be resolved, the top government spokesman said Wednesday.
Japan also will raise security issues, including North Korea's nuclear weapons program, Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe told a regular news conference Wednesday.
The announcement came a day after Pyongyang said it would beef up its nuclear facilities to meet energy demands after the U.S. scrapped a project to provide it with light-water nuclear reactors amid the standoff over the North's atomic threat.
The talks will be led by Akitaka Saiki, deputy head of the Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, and Song Il Ho, vice director of the North Korean Foreign Ministry's Asian Affairs Department, Abe said.
"Without a resolution of the abduction issue, normalization of bilateral relations is impossible. I want to make this clear first," Abe said.
At the most recent bilateral meeting in early November, Japan proposed that the two countries hold separate discussions on the abduction issue, security and normalization of diplomatic ties.
Tokyo is hoping for a positive response from North Korea on the three-track proposal during the talks, Abe said.
North Korea, which in past occasions has flatly refused to hold bilateral talks, now appears to be very willing to resume diplomatic contact, according to senior officials in the prime minister's office.
"North Korea probably wants to maintain a pipeline (to Japan) ahead of (another round of the now-stalled) six-party talks" on its nuclear threat, one of the officials said.
Japan, the United States, China, Russia and South Korea are now negotiating with North Korea to hold another round of the six-way talks, aimed at convincing the Stalinist state to abandon its nuclear arms program.
However, whether Pyongyang is really serious about making progress in the Japan-proposed bilateral three-track talks has yet to be seen, the official said, adding,"You never know until the meeting starts."
Last month's talks between Japan and North Korea marked the first meeting in a year. But little headway was made on the contentious issues, notably the abductions.
Tokyo's position is that 11 Japanese kidnapped in the 1970s and 1980s by North Korean agents remain unaccounted for, up from 10 listed in April, when the government added a man who disappeared in the 1970s.
Pyongyang claims that of the 10 Japanese, eight died in North Korea and the other two never entered the country.

… The NFL's Washington Redskins, battling increased pressure to change a team name that many consider a racial slur, launched a social media campaign; and depending where you checked, it either looked like a disaster or a good way to rally support. Last week, 50 U.S. senators, most notably majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), signed a letter…
We weren't going to do this, we swear. We figured there was no need for a Twitter roundup when it was immediately clear to everyone that the Redskins' latest PR move, an attempt to galvanize fans into flooding Sen. Harry Reid with support for the team name, was backfiring wildly. Then we heard from Reid's office. Even they were surprised it "was...

That's right, kiddies. More goodies have arrived via snail mail for us to share with you via the wonders of photography, this time in support of Natalie Portman's new flick, Black Swan. Dig it!
We're guessing this was meant to go along with the launch of BlackSwan2010.com and I Just Want To Be Perfect, the viral website for Darren Aronofsky's psychological thriller.
It should be added that Nomad handled the feathers with chopsticks as he was paranoid someone was sending him bird flu … until he looked up Nina Sayers.
Look for Black Swan in theatres on December 3rd from Fox Searchlight Pictures.
Official Synopsis:
Set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect. The script was written by Mark Heyman and Andres Heinz and John McLaughlin.
BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), who zealously supports her daughter's professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly, but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

I'm a behavior analyst and body language expert, and I hold multiple certificates in advanced interrogation training and have been trained along side the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Military Intelligence, and the Department of Defense. My extensive training, education, and practice of nonverbal communication has made me an expert and consultant to law enforcement as well as successful CEO's, attorneys, executives, financial advisors, and entertainers. I'm also a Grammy nominated producer and have produced 3 multi-platinum albums.
I found a home for my skill set at The Nashville Entrepreneur Center where I helped create, and am head of, the Pitch Department. There, I work with startups and entrepreneurs teaching them how to create investor pitches for funding.
My Blog focuses on body language, but from a point of view that most aren't familiar with. Since I was a little kid I've been fascinated with the "what's gonna happen next" aspect of body language. Being able to recognize the cues early on that tell you someone's mind is changing, or has just finished making a decision, or is not going to waver from a line of thinking, can be an extremely powerful and potent tool.
In the business world, recognizing the cues that tell you whether or not the possible customer or partner is who, and what, they say they are could save you an enormous amount of time and money. In law enforcement, a police officer recognizing the cues early on that tell him a simple traffic stop is on a rocket-sled to becoming a full-blown felony stop in the next few seconds, could save his life.
The same goes when pitching, or participating in a meeting, where there are many non-verbal cues that can click the investor's "Gut Feeling Controls" to the "Something's Not Right Here" setting. Even though the entrepreneur is being honest, his or her facial expressions, subtle body language, and even sentence structure, may inadvertently be saying to the investor's Limbic Brain "Heads up, this person is up to something… I don't know what it is, but it feels like something's just not right here", and that makes the investor act just as you would expect.
As an expert in involuntary physiological communication, I quickly spot the causes of miscommunications and fix them. I've shown this works very well through the many successes I've had working with startups helping them raise millions of dollars of funding. By doing that, I've been honored with the moniker; "The PitchFixer".

Take The Job Or Not?
Decorating By 3littleangels Updated 6 Sep 2008 , 8:20pm by Suzies_Sweats-n-Treats
I have the opportunity to work in a bakery as a cake decorator. Now, I would absolutely love to take this poistion. However, it pays less than what I currently make and the company does not want to match my current salary (I currently work in an executive office).
I have never worked in an actual bakery setting (which is why they do not want to match my current pay) but I can get the job done. My decorating skills have come a LONGGGGGGG way since I first started out (a long way!). If I decided to take the job I know that I will do so well, beyound well.
Taking the job will allow me to fulfill my passion on a day to day basis (currently I do not decorate on a daily basis) which will increase my speed amongst other things. While also learning the business side of a bakery.
My only reason for not accepting the position is the pay, I truly cannot afford to accept that much of a decrease in salary. I've been trying to weigh the pros and cons of taking this job and do not want to be led by emotions. I WANT THIS SOOOOOOOOO BADLY!!!!!
Am I being unreasonable about the pay, I mean it's only a few dollars, RIGHT?
Can any of you help me? Should I take the job or wait for something else? Please help?
Only you can make that decision and I know it is hard but if you did take it and they reailized how much talent you had maybe they would be willing to pay more later. In the mean time maybe just watching your pennies, no eating out, you know small things that can add up. Is there other opportunities in your area? It is a shame we need money to live!!! We should all be able to do what we love. Good luck with your decision.
If you can't afford to work for what they will pay you, then you have answered your own question. Many work at a regular job, and have cake decorating as a hobby or side job.
I think the "thrill" of working for a bakery will soon wear off and all you will be stuck with is a crummy paycheck!
Take the extra money you make from your executive job and use that to pay for your cake stuff. You know, practice.
If you cant live off the pay then no. But it's too bad you cant work there part time. Before i had my baby i did hair , and i started out at one of the most upscale salons in town . So i had to start out as a intern so my pay wasnt great , but once i learned the skills and some stuff that only comes with practice . Then i got my own chair and started making some $$$$.
So basically if you can afford it , it could pay off. But if you cant afford it then no.
Well..in these kinda times you have to think practical! If the pay is no way near what you are getting now..the answer is staring you in the face,Bills have to be paid etc..If you have a spouse who is working and can pay the bills.mortgage.groceries etc..then I would say..take the job.At least there is money there to make the payments. We have a saying in our house about almost everything..especially when we have the urge to pull out the Ol credit card and buy something...
Do I want it...Yes..of course!!
Do I NEED it.....most likely No!
Can I afford it...Most times not really!!
That ends the urge real fast!! This would be sorta the same...You want the job but maybe can't afford the less wages so really you don't need it! JMO
sometimes our emotions over come our ability to think clearly on a situation like this. you've already said you could not afford to loose the other job...so, don't loose it. It sounds like you are only giving yourself two options though? could you possibly work in the bakery part-time? maybe ask them to have you there on a trial basis and say that in some time if they feel your skills are what they need you could re-negotiate the pay?
I think the pro would be that you would be doing something you love...but the con would be that you would not be able to survive with that income...you really wouldn't want to sacrifice that. Do you have other factors? like family, where you live, your type of job is more demanding now? that would hinder the decision as well. Hope this helps Good luck!
Keep your job for now-bakeries do not pay well and rarely give raises.
Big decision! Good, high paying jobs are hard to find. If you quit the office job and the bakery doesnât work out for any reason â then what! Maybe you could see if they would be willing to hire you part time, just a few hours a week. That way instead of taking a pay cut it will just be extra income. Then, after a while if you find you really like it you could consider going full time. Also that will give you more time to prove what you are really worth at the bakery, so you could make enough pay to switch jobs. Good luck
If this is something you would love to do, then maybe some creative budgeting could help you figure it out.
Try making a list of every single expense you have, from the obvious (like car payment, rent, utilities, etc) to the little things we forget to factor in (like take-out food, haircuts, gifts, that "I'm having a crappy day and really need a new pair of shoes" expense).
Are there things you can cut out? Would it be worth it to you to not buy any new clothes of have give up the daily Starbucks run for a year (or more) to take the job?
If the answer is no or you still can't afford to live off the pay even if you cut down on expenses, then I think you either have to see if you can go part-time or turn it down all together.
I'm a believer in that if it's meant to be, it will happen. Just because this one doesn't work out, doesn't mean there won't be another bakery job in your future.
Good Luck! Let us know what you decide!
Definitely wait. It sound too risky financially. The fact that the bakery wants you shows you have the stuff it takes to be a great decorator. They just won't reward you now. Maybe you can help them out on a one day a week basis that won't affect your current job. Start out small and learn all you can.
Good luck.
Definitely wait. It sound too risky financially. The fact that the bakery wants you shows you have the stuff it takes to be a great decorator. They just won't reward you now. Maybe you can help them out on a one day a week basis that won't affect your current job. Start out small and learn all you can.
Good luck.
I have to agree with Sandy2008, especially if "3littleangels" meens that you have three little angles counting on you.

As human beings we all seem to be on a quest to be happy. Happy in our work, happy in our relationships and the biggeee …happy in our homes. There are countless books, articles and blog posts on how to create such happiness. As much as I read, DIY and purchase things for the home there always seems to be something lacking. Something else that needs to be done, created, bought… it appears never ending.
Do you at times feel discontented with your home?
I have to be honest, as a blogger, the seed of unhappiness takes root as often as 1 ~2 times a week. It's so easy to cultivate since blogland is FILLED with beauty. Then I am reminded that to the majority of the world my home is a palace and I try to rip the discontent out like the ugly weed it is.
There is an old traditional hymn that talks about how to have a truly happy home. Interestingly enough it doesn't mention the latest colors, lighting or furniture. A happy home is available to everyone no matter what their income level or DIY skills are.
Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heav'nly rest.
Happy the home where Jesus' Name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early speak His fame,
And parents hold Him dear.
Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise each day does rise;
Where parents love the sacred Word
And all its wisdom prize.
Lord, let us in our homes agree
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to Thee,
And love to all will reign.
~ Words by Henry Ware, Jr.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal, For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." ~Matthew 6:19-21

The arena shows have lacked the compelling punch of the closed room auditions so far in this tenth series of The X Factor (ITV). That was in evidence again in tonight's lukewarm episode of the crooning contest.
Proceedings opened with novelty reggae loon Souli "no relation to Levi" Roots, who had a bongo drum, a deranged outfit and a new hairdo that looked like someone had dropped candyfloss on her head. Gary Barlow again played the killjoy but his fellow panellists paid patronising compliments and put her through to bootcamp. When Ms Roots delightedly dashed off-stage, dragging the mic stand in her wake, Louis Walsh almost keeled over with mirth.
Two solo females flew past in a haze of mediocrity. Essex girl Lydia Lucy massacred the melody of Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel with warbly showing off but the judges seemed to think this meant "owning it". South African Jeanette Akua was impressive but she must have been edited in from another show because confusingly, we hadn't seen her closed room audition.
The groups look a stronger category than usual this year. "Sweet but street" boyband Rough Copy serenaded the judges but need to rein in the Mr Lover Man shtick before it goes into cheesy overload. Kingsland (aka the hipster One Direction) hadn't improved vocally but had learned a few dance moves since their last audition. This went down well with the judges, who this series seem to have been instructed to stress the importance of hard work. Next Of Kin (aka the box-packing Bee Gees) were all harmonies and ropy denim again.
Bombastic on-screen captions announced that this week, "The audience fights back!" Disappointingly, this didn't see them rise up to storm Simon Cowell's mansion with pitchforks and burning torches but merely involved some panto booing as the judges rightly rejected bus driver James McDonald.
When returning hopeful Stephanie Woods fluffed her rendition of I Drove All Night (repeatedly credited to Celine Dion rather than Cyndi Lauper or Roy Orbison, who performed it a decade earlier), the audience demanded she be allowed a second song. The judges relented, she made a much better fist of Eva Cassidy's Songbird and sailed through to bootcamp. This hardly seemed fair on all the wannabes rejected after one effort.
The final auditionee was modest but sweet-voiced Motherwell schoolboy Nicholas McDonald. Last night, Barlow thought the naïve 16-year-old "wasn't ready". Tonight he "owned it", "nailed it" and "knocked it out of the park" – a clean sweep of talent show clichés. McDonald's family wept. The audience cheered. The fact that something so unspectacular was positioned as the show's emotional climax showed what a middling episode this was.
Following the high demand for Gary Barlow tickets, the X Factor judge has announced additional tour dates for the 2014 spring tour. Extra shows have been confirmed for the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, The O2 in Dublin, Birmingham LG Arena and the Sheffield Motorpoint Arena.

French Toast Recipe
September 6, 2010 by USA Post
French Toast Recipe, The inconsistency, I can understand. One day something is * amazing *. The next day, served, not in the mood. Been there, done that. Ask my husband.
Random discrimination, however, do not understand. Not a bit. And that is the last challenge I'm facing.
The culprit is the Dude. It has developed a discerning palate, but not all in the right direction. It is rather a form of OCD. One minute, he's happy eating mango cut into pieces. Suddenly you realize a piece is a little stringy, which holds two fingers and extends out to me with his face suspiciously like a piece of spam, and asked for more. This exchange is repeated verbatim until he gets a piece that does not offend your delicate sensibilities.
This coming from a child I caught eating shoelaces of his sister? I mean, come on!
The OC Dudeness and not eat if you cut a pancake for him. Well, no big deal, you can eat a whole one. I do mine on the smaller side anyway. I give the cake. He examines the edges with the nose in the air, notices in the rough, and returns it. Looking for a perfectly smooth, perfectly round. He inspects it with skepticism before deciding if its form is suitable for real dudeness.
I suppose it could just be grateful that he does indeed eat a meal so thoroughly inspected. But most of the foods I make food at home, in general, not perfect. Tasty, yes. Perfect looking for? Rarely.
French toast sometimes has eggs on the edges of the bread. When I baked dough, the filling is more difficult than the inside. And when I make cheesecakes, curds will cling to the edges that make them imperfect circles.
Cottage cheese pancakes, in fact, not only for cakes triplet mom. They are our aces in the hole. They are super easy to make. One batch can last two or three meals. Whenever I have the ingredients around. And carbohydrates are the children the love, the dairy and protein that I love, and grated vegetables really, really love to sneak in.
Bitty is the opposite of the Dude. She does not inspect food. She grabs it with both hands and shovels in his mouth until he looks likely to leave little button nose. Zeke takes smaller bites, thank God, but he slots in it, too.
Two out of three triplets love cottage cheese pancakes. And so does my little OCD Dude, when the edges are trimmed to perfection. I'm still working on my form.
Cottage Cheese Pancake Recipe
Adapted from wholefoodsmarket.com
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white whole-wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon cinnamon
1-tablespoon sugar
4 eggs
1-cup cottage cheese
1 / 2 cup milk
3 carrots, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and sugar. In another bowl, beat eggs, cottage cheese, milk, carrots, oil and vanilla (if using). Add the flour mixture to egg mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed.
Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray then heat over medium heat. Working in groups, each pancake is spooning 1 / 4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook pancakes, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes total. A dish and serve.

Blondie is a royal and the daughter of Goldilocks. She runs a runs a school blog called Mirror Cast with her MirrorPad.

- Even through her mother wasn't a princess and Blondie herself isn't a princess, she is still courted as a royal since she wants to follow her mother's footsteps.
- Like Cupid, she also runs a school talk show. However, while Cupid's is about love, Blondie's is about 'news' and possible rumors around the school.

Can Indonesia be seen as a democratic model for other Muslim-majority countries like Egypt and Tunisia?
In his new book, Thomas Rid explores the opportunities and challenges that cyberspace creates for those who use violence for political purposes. In-person appearance tonight at Asia Society New York.
Author Thomas Rid says he "can't see a good reason why an innovation that has never injured or killed a single human being — cyber-attacks — should prompt us to rethink the notion of war."
While recent developments have raised hopes the so-called "Group of Two" is making strides, the countries are "not even close" on some key targets, writes Asia Society Senior Advisor Junjie Zhang.
As we pause to reflect on this somber anniversary, Emily Brill over at ChinaFile poses a rather unusual question: "Beijing's Air in 2013 or Ground Zero's After 9/11: Which Was Worse?" Her findings may surprise you.

"People of my generation saw hope in the West; young Asians these days see opportunity in China. It seems to me that the American Dream is meeting its first serious challenger," says the acclaimed author of Five Star Billionaire.
His new project may sound like a Robert Ludlum thriller, but documentarian Niccolo Piazza is focused on the mountain communities of Gilgit–Baltistan and their "symbiotic relationship" with their environment.
The Taipei-born, Berlin-based Dirty Beaches frontman chats about making music in Beijing, his love of Wong Kar Wai movies and his own forays into filmmaking.
How much has changed in 30 years? "Bargaining is almost never done" and "There is no nightlife in China" are just two of the gems uncovered in a 1984 Fodor's guide to the PRC.

Is it possible to pre fill a variabele in a text fieldAsked by Ian on September 22, 2014 at 09:21 AM
I like to know if it is possible to pre fill a value in a text element.
For example I like to make a text above the form like "This is the order form for product [product_name]".
Then I want to prepopulate it's value with via URL parameters. For example: http://www.jotform.com/form/10565343954?product_name=product1
Thank you.
JotForm Designer
I guess you are looking for our hint option, in input boxes, you can edit hints as far as you want to. First click properties gear and select properties
secondly write down the hint that you would like to add to your input fields.
thank you
No sorry, I am talking about a text element and not about text box element. So a pre filled value in plain text. Like in the example above.
Thank you
I made a little example: http://form.jotformeu.com/form/42644359938367
it is possible to prefill the src of the image in the header element and all values between brackets in the header element and in the text element.
I will try cover both forms that you have added in this thread.
Can some fields be pre-populated / pre-filled - yes, they can.
Unfortunately not all fields can be pre-populated only some and those are the ones that have the name attribute associated with them.
Now the first jotform from above:
You can prepopulate all of its fields like so:
Now the second jotform that you gave a link to has fields that can not be populated entirely..
http://form.jotformeu.com/form/42644359938367?clickTo4=able to prepopulate&clickTo5=able to prepopulate
Usually when you pre-populate the fields, you can only change the values. When a text box has some value, it is shown by text being visible in the box, a similar thing applies with radio options and checkboxes.
I hope that this gives you a better insight what can be prepopulated and what can not.
If you tell us what you would like to achieve we might be able to offer you guidance in what you could do.
For example, the image can be set to be requested from a link, which if on your server could display different images depending on the season.
Best Regards,

Today sharing our Week 7. With this week I tried to use more of my handwriting and try a couple of new little things which I was happy with and did a little mental note for the upcoming weeks.
I used the new collection from Dear Lizzy that I am SO loving it is so much fun. I already feel like I need to order some more because I love it that much!
I once again used my Silhouette for my "title Week" as well as well as the Days of week.
Since Valentine's Day passed I wanted to include something other then just a picture of my little gifts the hubs gave me. I wanted to include the flowers in some way because they were so pretty so I took some petals and used one of the page protectors from Martha Stewart & cut it and made a pocket to attach the pocket to the 3x4 slot.
This week Ramz had 8th grade carnival I included his badge as well as pictures of him dressing crazy. Sassy & I stopped by which was fun as she got her face painted. After we went to one of our Favorite places : Red Mango BEST treat EVER. (see now I want some)
Being I am in NY I had to include SOMETHING about Linsanity. The boys got a kick out of seeing that in our week.
For these few pictures I decided to once again cut into the page protectors and make my own little pockets so they could be little focal points of a few pictures. As well as the tag I made w/ Sweets and his class. I used my sewing machine for a few stitches to close it up as well as Washi tape.
This was part of our Weekend where we went out for Dinner and I think its fun to take pictures "photobooth" style while we wait no matter where we might be (Just ask my kids) So I took a couple of that and included it in here and I took one of those little activity books and attached Isaac &Gabi's photobooth (which I used my ipod for)
Included here was a thank you note from Isaac's teacher for coming. Saturday night Movie watching A booklet that was given at church for the start of Lent. I would need a larger book to write in so into Project Life it went.
Also little adventure after church and how could I not include a little something about waiting for that LAST item (3x4 journal cards) to be restocked.
If you were one of the waiting for it you probably saw Becky mention me. Happy to report I got everything that I wanted YAY!
I also included newspaper clipping into our February folder about our newly appointed Cardinal Dolan & the death of Whitney Houston. (but didn't take a picture of that)
Well that was my week & I thank you for stopping by and checking my week! Now to go check out what the kids are up to w/Hubs who has the day off too YAY!

The UK's home entertainment sector took a big blow in January when retail giants HMV and Blockbuster filed for bankrupty protection within days of one another. Private equity firm Gordon Brothers Europe rode to the rescue of Blockbuster last month, and today, restructuring firm Hilco says it's completed an acquisition of HMV's business and certain assets. Those include 141 stores – 25 of which had been slated for closure – and about 2,500 employees. Hilco CEO Paul McGowan said, "We have spent a number of weeks negotiating revised terms with landlords and the key suppliers to the business, all of whom have been supportive of our plans to maintain an entertainment retailer on the High Street." Hilco is seeking to re-establish HMV in Ireland after receivers there shuttered the business. The company also owns HMV Canada and hopes to replicate some of the success it's had in that market. Exec Ian Topping said the Hilco team would "use some of the developments already progressed in Canada to restore HMV to health. We intend to reverse the earlier decisions to sell tablets and other devices in the stores and to reclaim the space for an enhanced music and visual range." In the UK, HMV and Blockbuster have faced stiff competition from online streaming services such as Lovefilm and Netflix while supermarket retailers have also increasingly entered the space. The collapse of the two companies in January was also a burden on local film distributors in a market where DVD margins have already been on the decline.

As an avid purchaser of cds, I find it sad how the industry is disappearing, and the desire for the historic value of the cd is irrelevant. People seem only interested in one-offs, discarding music like it's dispensible rather than valuable. One can only hope for a revival of interest in the cd, the writers, the producers, the artwork, the labels and everything else that goes into the recording of the music that we will all continue to appreciate.

I was talking to this user and she said there have been GAG members who make more than one account? WTF. Why would they do that?
What would you guys do if the admin said "YOU CAN MAKE MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT NOW!"
Would you troll? Mess around? What?

There was this guy that wouldn't listen to my point of view because he said I was a feminazi. He was like that with every woman that responded to the question. So I pretended to be a guy and then he argued with me instead of just dismissing me.33|00|0

Hyderabad, Mumbai: Aggressive plans to expand India's cement capacity and meet the booming construction demand has run into an unexpected problem: there just isn't enough equipment to build factories.
Manish Saxena, a Deutsche Bank analyst estimated in a recent report that annual orders with cement equipment suppliers have gone up from 75 million to 100 million tonnes last year, while average orders in prior years hovered around 30 million tonnes.
"Indian producers were late to place orders," the report said.
Meanwhile, the order-books of equipment suppliers had a back-log for deliveries stretching through the first half of 2009 even before some Indian producers started ordering new equipment.
The consequences of this equipment supply bottleneck could mean that cement demand will continue to outpace supplies with prices remaining firm for several years, say industry watchers.
Indian cement companies were hoping to boost capacity by about 45% by 2009.
Ranking second behind China, India's cement industry has an installed capacity of 160 million tonnes. The expansion projects estimated that aggregate new capacity of around 70-75 million tonnes will go on stream by fiscal 2009.
Demand for cement in India, which was at about 132 million tonnes in 2006, is slated to grow at 10% annually, for the next three years.
"The vendors are all over-booked," says Sanjeev Baffna, joint president and deputy CFO of Grasim Industries Ltd, which plans to add around 10 million tonnes to increase its capacity to 24 million tonnes. "It is difficult for them to meet the demand from the cement manufacturers. Those who had booked last year will get it on time, but there will be delays in orders placed later."
ACC, India's largest cement manufacturer, is increasing its capacity from 19MT to 24MT over the next two years, Gujarat Ambuja Cement Ltd is hiking its capacity from 16MT to 22MT.
Aditya Birla Group cement company Ultratech is adding another 4.5MT to its present capacity of 17MT.
It is unclear which specific cement companies would be impacted because of this tight equipment supply situation.
"In the normal conditions, equipment suppliers take 12-18 months time for delivering the machinery and equipment. But in this boom, where everyone is going for expansion of capacities, it is taking not less than 24-28 months," said R. Gopalakrishnan, company secretary of Hyderabad-based Deccan Cements.
A typical cement plant has four key units: raw mill, coal mill, cement mill and kiln, all of which are driven by a big gearbox.
While equipment suppliers such as FL Smidth, Humboldt Wedag, Walchandnagar Industries, Fuller, Lurgi, Onida, and Sinoma supply complete plants, fewer companies supply gearboxes.
Citing a full order book, Humboldt Wedag India said lead times have gone up significantly. "New projects are likely to be more affected by the delays in procurement," said H.N. Chabra, a general manager at the second-largest cement equipment maker in India. The bottleneck in supplies will continue for up to three years, P.C. Bhagavath, senior general manager of marketing at Walchandnagar Industries said.
Some manufacturers are suggesting that cement companies should consider Chinese suppliers as an option to try and speed up supply of equipment and key parts.

From Bristol in the northeast to Memphis in the southwest, Tennessee stretches almost 500 miles through prime territory for antiques. Shops and malls abound, as do auctioneers who handle everything from primitives to mid-century Modern. One of the nation's top antique shows, Heart of Country, now brings shopping excitement to Nashville once a year.
Promoters Richard and Elizabeth Kramer picked Nashville to be the site of their Heart of Country antique show in 1981. They chose the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center because it offered adequate facilities for the show and an abundance of guest rooms. The Kramers soon started a similar antique show in Houston called Star of Texas, but shut it down it the late 1980s when the oil-driven economy slowed. Kramer said they anticipated the shutdown to be temporary, but it took nearly two decades to restart a show in Texas. Heart of Country eventually became a semiannual event, held in late winter and fall.
Kramer said that because of Nashville's central location, as many as 85 percent of the show's customers come from outside Tennessee. He said people come to Nashville because it is easy to travel there and the city is known for being safe. "Maybe a mother will meet her daughter or sisters will meet for the weekend. They can fly on most airlines into Nashville, take the shuttle bus from the airport straight to the hotel and go to the show without having to go outside," said Kramer.
Most show-goers venture outside, however, to also attend the Tailgate Antique Show and Music Valley Antiques Market held concurrently by Jenkins Management at neighboring hotels. When Kramer moved the fall installment of Heart of Country to the Gaylord Texan hotel near Dallas this year, Tailgate and Music Valley remained in Nashville.
The spring Heart of Country Show will continue to be held in Nashville, with the March 1-3 show opening with a preview party on Thursday evening. It will again feature around 150 dealers.
"It happens to be about the number of dealers who can adequately service our customers without having too much dilution and without having to give up on quality," said Kramer. He attributes the dearth of qualified dealers mainly to attrition. "Dealers are getting older and are not willing to travel as much and haul as much. The younger people aren't coming on board, so the pool of qualified show dealers is shrinking," he said.
Kramer's wife died a year ago in October. "My wife, Libby, was the one who ran this show for many years. We're all learning to fly this thing together," he said. Their daughter, Susan Kramer Hunkins, is the show coordinator. Her husband, Stephen, is in charge of the floor setup.
Prominent auctioneers live and work in Tennessee. Among them is Kimball M. Sterling of Johnson City, who made headlines when he sold the Alex Haley estate in October 1992. The three-day sale, which included Malcolm X documents and Haley's special Pulitzer Prize for his book Roots, grossed $932,000.
Sterling, who founded his auction company about 20 years ago, enjoys selling the unusual. "I guess we were the first company to do a major outsider-art auction. It was a collection in North Carolina I sold about 12 years ago. The Howard Smith collection is still well known today. We sold about 1,000 pieces in one day. We created a niche in the market by doing that and still have that niche for private clients in that field," said Sterling.
With the assistance of his wife, Victoria, and three daughters, Sterling conducts about 50 auctions per year and maintains an auction gallery in Johnson City. He is the only auctioneer to have twice won the National Auctioneers Association Best of Show marketing award.
John Coker of New Market has been an antique dealer for 35 years and has owned his auction business for 25 years. Although Coker is not an auctioneer and does not do bid calling, he does everything up to that point. "I'm the one who writes the ads, the one who catalogs everything and publishes the catalog. (Bid calling) is the last thing I want to do," he said.
Much of his attention these days is designing a new auction facility to be constructed next year near Knoxville. While he is planning such innovations as heated floors and drive-in loading and unloading, he is eager to get input from auctioneers and auction-goers.
"I would like to hear from people who have built an auction hall from the ground up, to avoid mistakes they made and to hear what they would change," said Coker. "If someone has a suggestion about what to do or not do, I'm interested in hearing it."
In addition to the 20 to 24 auctions he conducts each year, Coker also operates Antiques Online (www.antiquesonline.com), where he sells antiques and collectibles at set prices. With about 3,000 items posted on the site at any time, Coker said Antiques Online accounts for about half his total sales.
While not having any blockbuster auctions this year, business has been good. "We have had several large on-premises auctions of houses. That seems to be where the public responds terrifically. They love to come and see an old house where people have lived for a long time. They may have driven by and just like to see what's there. They want a piece of it," said Coker.
An estate that originated near Flemingsburg, Ky., and was moved to eastern Tennessee about 25 years ago will be a major sale for Coker sometime next spring. "It came from a big pre-Civil War house that had everything imaginable in it, from a child's miniature Kentucky chest to Kentucky portraits," he said.
Danny E. Ratcliff of Athens has been an auctioneer for at least 40 of his 61 years. After working for other auctioneers early in his career, he started his auction service in the early 1970s. Amid a busy schedule of estate, farm and real estate auctions, Ratcliff conducts regular antique auction, usually on the second Saturday of the month.
"Athens is a great auction town. People around here love auctions of all types and they appreciate a good antique auction," said Ratcliff, adding that the last few years have been a buyer's market.
"I think the antique market everywhere has been soft. It's the good stuff that sells. It's what people are looking for. The average stuff, the mediocre stuff is almost a nonexistent market anymore," said Ratcliff. "If it's a good piece of furniture and they want it, they will pay top dollar. But it has to be good antique stuff for us to have a successful sale."
Clyde and Ruby Watson have been married nearly 50 years and have operated Lawrenceburg Antique & Auction since 1993. They and their son, Donny, conduct three to five auctions per year. "We started out as more or less a junk auction — probably $11,000 our first sale. We've upgraded since then with sales up to a half million dollars. We've been fortunate to get some good merchandise over the years," said Clyde, who became interested in antiques as a young man when he bought old furniture to refinish.
Watson said it has become difficult to predict whether or not an auction will produce strong prices.
"It's hard because you don't know what to pay for anything any more. I used to be able to buy a piece and tell you exactly who was going to buy it, but that's impossible to do anymore. Dealers don't have a particular market they can sell to. They don't know where they can dispose of it right off hand because the younger generation likes different stuff," said Watson.
Gas Lamp Antique & Decorating Mall opened two years ago in Nashville's Berry Hill District. Geeta Bradley is the marketing director at the upscale mall and also works the sales floor. "I learned early that if I worked at an antique mall I could learn a lot," said Bradley, who is one of the dealers at the store. "This is a great place to work. It is climate controlled, which you don't find in older places, and we have music playing all the time. All the workers are knowledgeable about what we sell."
Located at 100 Powell Place on the south side of Nashville, the mall has 25,000 square feet of showroom space and 150 exhibitor spaces. Owner Mike Chilando, a prominent local businessman who also owns muffler stores in Nashville, has installed a passenger and freight elevator. "Everything here is state of the art," said Bradley.
Harpeth Antique Mall in Franklin, 18 miles south of Nashville off I-65, is named for the river than runs through Williamson County. Owner Carl Zehner said the county ranks among the highest income per capita in the nation. "It's a good place to have an antique mall," he said, noting there are seven antique malls in Franklin alone. "We're fortunate to have such a good selection of merchandise. There are 117 dealers in the store, part cases and part booths."
The store is in a strip mall behind McDonald's at 529 Alexander Plaza. Business has been steady at Harpeth Antique Mall, which Zehner has owned for 13 years. "We're ahead of last year. As of yesterday (Nov. 28) we were 16 percent ahead of November of last year," said Zehner.
Rare Bird Antique Mall has been open 12 years at 212 S. Main St. in downtown Goodlettsville, 10 miles north of Nashville off I-65. "As the name Rare Bird implies, that's what we are," said Joan Wright, who owns the mall with her husband, Jon. "Our store is different than most of your stops. Everybody who comes here says this is the best place they've ever been in."
Dealers at Rare Bird Antique Mall give particular attention to displaying their merchandise, said Wright. "Everything at the front of the building is new old stock, products that never sold, old store items that never sold," she said. The structure, built in 1947, was originally a grocery store. Rare Bird Antique Mall also carries a good selection of what Wright calls "men's toys," like sporting collectibles and automobilia.
Gallatin, 35 miles northeast of Nashville, has a historic downtown that boasts a variety of shops. Antiques on Main, owned by Peggy Vantrease, is one of the largest with 10,000 square feet of display space in a former appliance store. Antiques on Main has about 40 dealers.
Vantrease enjoyed selling at flea markets so much she quit her regular job to open Antiques on Main in 1988. "I like the variety and the people. I like to see all the things they collect," said Vantrease.
Dean Howard had already worked in antique mall management for a friend before buying Antique Village Mall in Crossville 11 years ago. Visible from I-40 between Nashville and Knoxville, the mall has 70 dealers and 10,000 square feet of space. A collector for many years, Howard keeps a display of pressed-glass cake stands at the mall.
During the fall and through the holiday season, Antique Village Mall opens on Sundays at 10 a.m. "We have a lot of travelers who go to the U.T. football games and to Gatlinburg for the fall foliage, and a lot of them like to shop early on Sunday," said Howard.
East Town Antique Mall in Chattanooga is one of eight antique stores located in a retail complex known as either East Ridge Antique Center or Chattanooga Antique Center. Bob Pickrell has owned East Town Antique Mall for the last three years. He bought the mall from the original owners, who opened in the mid-1980s.
"With eight stores it's a good place for travelers to stop," said Pickrell. East Town Antique Mall is located at 6503 Slater Road, behind a Cracker Barrel restaurant. The store complex is west of the last exit off I-75 before entering Georgia. The mall has 90 dealers and several major consignors in a former supermarket.
"We've had a decent year. There's another store opening so obviously some people think it's good," Pickrell said.

Ending Marijuana Prohibition
Reducing Health Harms From Drugs
Reducing Mass Incarceration through Criminal Justice Sentencing Reform
Ending Marijuana Prohibition
With the support of DPA, Oregon, Washington D.C. and Alaska became the third, fourth and fifth U.S. jurisdictions to legalize marijuana for adults over 21 years old. The voters in these states endorsed the groundbreaking programs in Colorado and Washington State by voting them into their own states. Oregon and Alaska are in the process of creating their cultivation and distribution systems, while Washington D.C., which only legalized home cultivation and possession, plans a strategy for licensing sales. In California, DPA is working with other advocates to bring a legalization initiative to the ballot in 2016. DPA is committed to supporting an initiative based on research, public health and the expertise and hard work of local municipalities and the medical marijuana industry. DPA is confident that the proposed initiative will be comprehensive and will establish a competent, community-based system to tax, regulate and control marijuana in the largest state in the country.

Reducing Health Harms From Drugs
In 2011, DPA won key victories that expanded syringe access to every county in the state. In 2012, with support from allies, we succeeded in getting 911 Good Samaritan legislation signed and enacted into law, providing limited immunity to individuals seeking medical attention for someone experiencing an overdose. In 2014, we victoriously defended and expanded our law allowing for non-prescription sales of syringes with new legislation signed into law. We also achieved victory with a law allowing pharmacy sales of naloxone without a prescription to people who may witness or experience an opiate overdose. In 2015, DPA will focus on the successful implementation of these two laws statewide, along with advancing harm reduction strategies in Los Angeles and San Francisco counties.
Learn more about our harm reduction work.
Reducing Mass Incarceration through Criminal Justice Sentencing Reform
U.S. police make over 1.5 million arrests every year for drug law violations. Since the 1970s, drug war practices have led to unprecedented levels of incarceration and the marginalization of tens of millions of Americans – disproportionately poor people and people of color – while utterly failing to reduce problematic drug use and drug-related harms. The severe consequences of a drug arrest are life-long and create permanent barriers to economic and educational attainment, physical and emotional wellbeing and political participation. Criminalization has only intensified the potential harms of drug misuse, while utterly failing to curb drug use or supply. Decriminalization means nobody goes to jail and nobody gets punished simply for possessing a small amount of a drug. This is a model that has proven successful, resulting in decreases in diseases and addiction, without increasing drug use. Decriminalization is an essential tool in establishing a truly public health approach to drugs and drug use.
The drug war has produced profoundly unequal outcomes across racial and ethnic groups, manifested through racial discrimination by law enforcement and disproportionate drug war misery suffered by communities of color. Although rates of drug use and selling are comparable across racial lines, people of color are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted and incarcerated for drug law violations than are whites. Higher arrest and incarceration rates for Blacks and Latinos are not reflective of increased prevalence of drug use or sales, but rather of a law enforcement focus on urban areas, on lower-income communities and on people of color as well as inequitable treatment by the criminal justice system. Please join us in the call for addressing the racial disparities in California's criminal justice system.
As we move toward our ultimate goal of ending criminal penalties for drug use and possession, in 2015 we are sponsoring legislation to protect immigrants from deportation for low level drug offenses and to reign in civil asset forfeiture abuse.

Country Sloppy Joes
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by dayla
I found this recipe on the back of a Bear Creek onion soup and dip mix. My family loves sloppy joes.
Top Review by ohgal
I was really pleased with how good this turned out. It's so easy and very little measuring and chopping. I followed the recipe as written. The next time I will use my own home-made salt-free dried onion soup mix to lower the sodium.
Thanks for posting.
