News that Glendale Unified school board member Greg Krikorian is going to run for Assemblyman Mike Gatto's 43rd Assembly District seat should come as welcome news to the citizens of Glendale ("Krikorian to run for Gatto's seat," March 11).
His experience as a school board member and leader, and his intimate knowledge of our community, has prepared him for fulfilling the role of a representative who will, in actuality and truth, represent his constituents — a practice that has been lacking for some time.
Representative government has been all but forgotten as our elected members in Sacramento are dedicated to their re-elections, to being all too partisan and to satisfying the overbearing pressures of the dominant unions in our state.
It may be a coincidence, but I take it as a stroke of good fortune that in addition to Krikorian's announcement of his candidacy, the three articles by Joe Piasecki describe in detail the questionable behavior and the behind-the-doors methodology of our legislative bodies in Sacramento. The articles should be required reading for all of us.
The stories were a result of a successful lawsuit brought about by the Los Angeles Times and the McClatchy newspapers against the state Assembly leaders under the California Legislative Open Records Act.
If anything, the series of articles by Piasecki ("Using money to shape policy" and "A look inside 'dense' budget," March 11) point to the need for all of us to re-evaluate the performance of our present elected representatives. In point of fact, Gatto, our representative, has taken on the position of Assistant Speaker Pro-Tem. What qualifies him to become one of the most important leaders in the Assembly?
He has not completed one two-year term in office. Krikorian — with his 11 years of experience on the Glendale Unified School District Board of Education, constantly dealing with an ever-moving budget, negotiating with the teachers unions, having the experience of being a small businessman and his devotion to participating in community affairs — is more than qualified as the only viable contender for the 43rd Assembly District.
Congratulations to Krikorian and his family for having made a very difficult decision, and congratulations to the Glendale News-Press for having brought to light the Piasecki articles. Every Glendale voter should have access to them. A reprint is called for.

The Stereoscope of Solitary Beings
The Stereoscope of Solitary Beings is a collection of sixty-six novellas that was published in 1972. In it Wilcock paints the portrait of solitary beings: a cannibalistic pair, thwarted gods in everyday life, "nerds" who are unable to cope with the sun, a scrawny centaur who paints still lifes, an unemployed angel and a mermaid who instead of living in a lovely cave on the Mediterranean coast, lives among rubbish next to a foul-smelling river. Their names are Corfu, Brasco, Fritty and Lorbio. Unconventional and living on the fringes, they defend their life choices with fierceness, courage, madness and intelligence. Littered with everyday cruelties, Wilcock's world is constructed with rigour and humour. It is fantastical, strange, eccentric even. Not dissimilar from the world of Jérôme Bosch, the boundaries between humans, animals and chimera are blurred.
Ana Maria Rodriguez, Ingrid von Wantoch Rekowski and Fred Pommerehn bring this murky and disturbing world to life through music, theatre and installation.
In the course of a musical journey through a museum, the audience is invited to discover different spaces: the first is a gallery of photographs: some of the characters who inhabit The Stereoscope of Solitary Beings have had their "portrait" taken to tell us how their "insane singularities" inhabit and reinvent our day-to-day environment; the second is a sound installation telling the story of Mör, who has been sent into space by his friends with enough provisions for a forty-year trip. The third is a strange space discovered by the audience when they enter the room. It is a labyrinth containing an unusual orchestra, half human and half animal. Its musicians are attempting the impossible: defying their isolation, their obsessions and their respective handicaps, they pursue the utopia of a common musical language.

- I really love those shoes so I'm wearing it again. But I didn't wear them to work today cuz t'was rainin' and there's no way I'm stepping on the puddles of mud on the streets with those shoes!
- T'was a fine day at work! I pretty much lazed around like all day long! BUT! Of course that doesn't mean I wasn't working. I finished curing the movie "Diborsyada" before lunch so since rendering and transcoding takes forever to finish, I got to take a Power Nap and it was so fucking good I tell you! And then when I woke up, I had more time to kill so I went back to our "Internet Station" to catch up on 2NE1TV!

(Tube Top from Genevieve Gozum, thrifted & DIYed gray vintage shirt, thrifted & DIYed denim shorts, People are People shoes) Yes,...
- Yes, I am. I am in ruins. I am in ruined clothes. :)
- This thrifted gray vintage shirt used to be long-sleeved but I'm in a tropical country where long sleeves are not really that friendly for everyday wear so, I cut off the sleeves!
- As for these shorts, well, they're thrifted too! LOL. I've had them for like 3 years or something, but they used to be just a few inches above my knees. Praise the Fashion Gods and Goddeses for the return of denim cut-offs, I was able to give my favorite denim shorts a major make-over! :)
- They said Tyra Banks is the Queen of Cheap but I beg to disagree. I think it's me! Haha.
- I don't mean that in a harsh way though. I just realized that most of my clothes are actually just rare and precious thrift finds! SO EFFING CHEAP! The only thing I really splurge on are shoes. :)

Recommended Skill Training Guide
From Goonwiki
This is a basic guide, that should give you a good set of recommendations on what skills to train for your first week or so of EVE. Treat it as a checklist -- if something's listed here, and you don't have it, consider training it, in roughly the priority listed. The tail-end of this guide will link you to other guides you can follow after you finish this one.
For a more detailed description of the mechanics of skills, please read How do skills work in EVE?
Important Things To Note
Please be aware that this is a general guide, and should not be rigidly followed. You don't necessarily have to train all the skills listed here, nor do you need to train them in the listed order. You can add in any other skills you wish to the mix, such as training Spaceship Command to level III early so you can fly Destroyers or Cruisers to help expedite mission running. Or you can train Mining to level III or IV early, to help pull in more sweet sweet Crokite. Just be aware not to specialize until after your advanced learning is done, as described later in this guide.
Note: Skills you do not have in your skills list must be bought from the market, and then the item must be imported (right click the item -> train) to your head for training. This can be done at any school station. Around the times of organized newbie drives, many of the basic skillbooks you'll need are brought in and provided right on the market, so be sure to check there first before podjumping out to empire space to buy a skillbook.
Also note that you can pause training on any skill at any time by simply picking a new skill to train. This pauses the skill you were training at whatever percentage trained it was, until you pick it back up. This means that when you buy several skill books, instead of having to carry them around with you when traveling, open the context menu of the skill book and pick 'Inject Skill'. The books disappear, and the skills appear on your character sheet. The only way to lose skill points in this game is to die with an un-upgraded clone.
Finally, you may find you have some of the "basic" skill paths below completed already due to your character's starting skillset. (For example, you may already have Afterburner V or Drones V). If so, feel free to "skip ahead" and train some of the skills in the "Advanced" section, like High Speed Maneuvering or Drone Interfacing.
Basic Skills
When you first start the game, and have a basic grasp of the first hour or so of the Tutorial That Never Ends(tm), join the GoonSwarm Newbie Help channel ('GF Help') and beg for some newbie money. If you only get like 200,000 ISK, that is still enough to help you get started with buying learning skill books. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR MONEY. Half a million ISK may sound like a lot to ask for, but it really isn't, and we like helping newbies.
Here is a basic training regime for you new people. Depending on the character you made when starting out, you may already have a good portion of these skills. These skills will get you into a basic tackling frigate with a MicroWarpDrive in 6 days maximum. Since GoonSwarm does do a LOT of PvP, this is designed to fast track you in that direction and be useful on any combat operation we are undertaking.
New people reminder: You will need to purchase most of these skills from the market. If you are still in empire space, most of the stations will carry the books you are looking for. Most of them run between 10,000 and 100,000 ISK. Once you buy the book from the market, look for it in your items box and bring up the context menu for the book and click 'Inject Skill'. This will add the skill to your skill list, without starting to actually train it. It will then disappear from your inventory since you don't need it anymore. You can't bring books with you to Goonspace if you podjump so plan on starting your training on all of these in empire space.
Basic Tackling Skills
These are important because Tackling will be one of your primary responsibilities in PvP as a new player. It's also insanely fun.
- Basic Propulsion Jamming Skills
- Electronics I
- Electronics II
- Electronics III
- Navigation I
- Navigation II
- Propulsion Jamming I
- Propulsion Jamming II
- Basic Microwarpdrive Skills
- Afterburner I
- Engineering I
- Engineering II
- Mechanic I
- Hull Upgrades I
- Engineering III
- Science I
- Energy Grid Upgrades I
- Energy Grid Upgrades II
- Afterburner II
- Navigation III
- Afterburner III
- Navigation IV
- Afterburner IV
- High Speed Maneuvering I
- High Speed Maneuvering II
- High Speed Maneuvering III
Edit: Afterburner III and Navigation III are now the pre reqs for microwarpdrives
Basic Learning
The learning skills don't grant you any abilities, they just make the training of other skills faster. Training the learning skills is usually broken into two phases: Basic Learning, which is fairly painless and should be done (mixed with training other skills) early on in the game; and Advanced Learning, which is somewhat of a pain, but essential to your future development. As you train the basic tackling skills (Afterburners, Warp Propulsion, etc.) to basic levels, you should work on your basic learning skills. Train them in this order:
- Instant Recall I
- Analytical Mind I
- Learning I
- Instant Recall II
- Analytical Mind II
- Learning II
- Instant Recall III
- Analytical Mind III
- Learning III
- Instant Recall IV
- Analytical Mind IV
- Learning IV
- Spacial Awareness I-IV, Iron Will I-IV, Empathy I-III. The order these 3 skills are trained in does not matter.
- Instant Recall (Memory)
- Analytical Mind (Intelligence)
- Spatial Awareness (Perception)
- Iron Will (Willpower)
- Learning (2% boost to all)
- Empathy (Charisma) is a special case. You will want to train it to 3 or 4 for helping out with some Advanced Learning training times, but for characters that do not specialize in Trade Skills, Social Skills, or Leadership Skills, Charisma is not useful.
Total training time to get all these skills (except Empathy) to level 4 will be about 7-8 days. Each skillbook costs 45k ISK.
If you want to optimize the basic learning skills, train Instant Recall and Analytical Mind before the others. The basic learning skills are themselves skills (duh), and all depend on the Mem and Int stats, so training those first will cut down on the other training times a bit.
The prerequisite to go from basic learning skills to advanced learning skills is now IV instead of V, which means you probably should get the advanced learning skills as soon as possible (more on that below). However, getting you basic learning skills up to V is not such a bad idea still, only you don't have to rush to get there. Getting them from IV to V will take about 20 days (you train everything except Empathy up to V) and it will pay off after about a year. It is boring and daunting, but if you plan to stay for a while it will pay off eventually; so while it's not required anymore, it is still advisable to train them.
Basic Mining Skills
Some people make money by mining. It seems to work if you have the patience for it, and is a way to make money as a new player, but is by no means essential. You'll want to get the following skills to do it well:
Mining IV (for Tech 2 Mining lasers)
The racial Cruisers skill for your race.
Race-Specific Piloting Skills
In addition to the basic, generalized ship skills, there are some skills that are somewhat race-specific: necessary if you're going to fly ships of a particular race, but far less important if you're flying some other race's ships. The most important of these, obviously, is your racial ship skills, but you'll probably need to train a few race-specific Support Skills as well.
You may already be able to train the Destroyers skill, or the Cruisers skill for your particular race. For more on this, see the GoonFleet Career section, as well as the following individual articles:
- Starting out as an Amarr Pilot
- Starting out as a Caldari Pilot
- Starting out as a Gallente Pilot
- Starting out as a Minmatar Pilot
Once you've rolled your new Caldari character, there are a few skills you'll want to train before podjumping out of empire. Your Merlin is more than adequate for level one missions in highsec, but you will die repeatedly if you try to take one out ratting in 0.0 (this is strictly for PvE. For PvP, you'll want to fly a frigate).
- Caldari Frigate I (29 minutes, 24 seconds)
- Caldari Frigate II (2 hours, 17 minutes)
- Caldari Frigate III (12 hours, 54 minutes, 45 seconds)
- Caldari Frigate IV (3 days, 1 hour, 2 minutes, 56 seconds)
- Caldari Cruiser I (1 hour, 13 minutes, 31 seconds)
- Caldari Cruiser II (5 hours, 42 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Navigation I (18 minutes, 31 seconds)
- Afterburner I (18 minutes, 31 seconds)
- Weapon Upgrades I (34 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Missile Launcher Operation I(14 minutes, 42 seconds)
- Missile Launcher Operation II (1 hour, 8 minutes, 31 seconds)
- Standard Missiles I (29 minutes, 24 seconds)
- Standard Missiles II (2 hours, 17 minutes)
- Standard Missiles III (12 hours, 54 minutes, 45 seconds)
- Missile Launcher Operation III (6 hours, 27 minutes, 21 seconds)
- Heavy Missiles I (44 minutes, 7 seconds)
- Engineering I (21 minutes, 44 seconds)
- Engineering II (1 hour, 41 minutes, 18 seconds)
- Shield Upgrades I(43 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Drones I (20 minutes)
- Scout Drone Operation I(20 minutes)
21 skills; Total time: 5 days, 4 hours, 34 minutes, 2 seconds
You should also augment that list with skills from the Missile Support Skills and Shield Tanking Support Skills lists.
These skills will make your missiles fire faster, fly longer, and fly faster. The faster and longer they fly, the farther away you can sit and shoot at the rats while they close in on you. Being able to fire faster translates to more missiles hitting the enemy in a given amount of time, which translates to more damage. And more damage means more dakka. Dakka is good. Similarly, the shield tanking skills will let you absorb more damage without dying, which is also important for obvious reasons.
Depending on the skillpath you choose, you should already have several, many, or even most of the skills on this list trained. Particularly caldari frigate 4, navigation, and missile launcher operation. Therefore it should take you substantially less than 5 days to get yourself to the point where you're competently flying a caracal. These skills will enable you to fit 5 heavy missile launchers, two medium shield extenders, an explosive resistance amplifier (lol passive shield tank), an afterburner, and two Ballistic control units. This is rather handy, as it's exactly what you need to take on anything up to a double battleship spawn in 4M.
Once you've gotten those skills, you should be able to make money by killing NPC rats for their bounties in whatever region we're currently inhabiting. For information as to technique, see Starting PvE as a Caldari Pilot
You should also train turret skills, though they may not come seriously into play until you start doing a lot of PvP. The turret skills you want to train are Small Hybrid Turret, Medium Hybrid Turret, and Large Hybrid Turret, same as Gallente.
The first thing you should train, if you don't have it already, is your racial Cruisers skill.
- Train Gallente Frigate up to IV, if you haven't.
- Train Spaceship Command up to III
- Train Gallente Cruiser skill up to three. This will unlock most of the base cruiser ships for your race.
Start training the support skills listed below. You should emphasize gunnery (especially Railguns), drone, and armor-tanking related skills.
The turret skills you want to train are Small Hybrid Turret (for frigates), Medium Hybrid Turret (for cruisers), and Large Hybrid Turret(for battleships).
For a more specific, blow-by-blow list, that will prepare you for basic pvp and pve in Goonspace, try training skills in this order:
- Gallente Newbie Skillplan
- Instant Recall I (27 minutes, 40 seconds)
- Analytical Mind I (25 minutes, 47 seconds)
- Instant Recall II (1 hour, 54 minutes, 12 seconds)
- Analytical Mind II (1 hour, 43 minutes, 49 seconds)
- Gallente Frigate IV (2 days, 8 hours, 37 minutes, 37 seconds)
- Gallente Cruiser I (56 minutes, 59 seconds)
- Gallente Cruiser II (4 hours, 25 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Mechanic I (~15 minutes)
- Mechanic II (~1 hour 30 minutes)
- Hull Upgrades I (38 minutes, 30 seconds)
- Hull Upgrades II (3 hours, 2 minutes, 40 seconds)
- Hull Upgrades III (17 hours, 13 minutes, 1 second)
- Repair Systems II (~2 hours, 10 minutes)
- Navigation I (~15 minutes)
- Afterburner I (~15 minutes)
- Electronics I (18 minutes, 40 seconds)
- Electronics II (1 hour, 31 minutes, 22 seconds)
- Electronics III (8 hours, 36 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Navigation II (1 hour, 13 minutes, 41 seconds)
- Propulsion Jamming I (58 minutes, 49 seconds)
- Science I (19 minutes, 36 seconds)
- Science II (1 hour, 31 minutes, 22 seconds)
- Engineering I (19 minutes, 36 seconds)
- Engineering II (1 hour, 31 minutes, 22 seconds)
- Engineering III (8 hours, 36 minutes, 28 seconds)
- Energy Emission Systems I (39 minutes, 12 seconds)
- Energy Emission Systems II (3 hours, 2 minutes, 40 seconds)
- Hull Upgrades IV (4 days, 1 hour, 23 minutes, 55 seconds) (so you can use armor hardeners).
The first thing you should train, if you don't have it already, is your racial Cruisers skill.
- Train Amarr Frigate up to IV, if you haven't.
- Train Spaceship Command up to III
- Train Amarr Cruiser skill up to three. This will unlock most of the base cruiser ships for your race.
Next, you'll need to train your race-specific offense and defense skills. You'll want to focus on Armor Tanking and Capacitor skills at first.
- Basic Armor Tanking Skills
- Hull Upgrades IV - more armor, allows for armor hardeners
- Repair Systems III - required for armor and structure repairers, higher levels get you faster armor repairing = more armor repaired per second
- Mechanic III - 5% increased structure per level, required for armor repairers
- Basic Capacitor Skills
- Energy Management IV - higher cap capactity, and cap recharge time remains the same, so better effective cap regen/sec
- Energy Systems Operation IV - faster cap regen
For guns, Amarr should be sure to train the Energy Turret skills corresponding with whatever class of ship they're flying -- Small Energy Turret (for frigates and destroyers), Medium Energy Turret (for cruisers), and Large Energy Turret (for battleships).
The first thing you should train, if you don't have it already, is your racial Cruisers skill.
- Train Minmatar Frigate up to IV, if you haven't.
- Train Spaceship Command up to III
- Train Minmatar Cruiser skill up to three. This will unlock most of the base cruiser ships for your race.
Train missile and tackling support skills, just like Caldari. The turret skills you want to train are Small Projectile Turret, Medium Projectile Turret, and (eventually, when you get into battleships) Large Projectile Turret. For tanking, you'll probably want to train both shield tanking and armor tanking skills. Some minmatar ships shield tank, others armor tank, so you'll want a baseline ability with both.
- Shield Tanking skills
- Shield Management IV - more shields, also your regeration time remains the same as shield amount increases so it improves passive shield regen/sec
- Shield Operation III - faster passive shield regeneration
- Shield Compensation II - Reduces the capacitor need of active shield boosters. I don't know how essential this is because it only gives 2% reduced cap need per level.
- Tactical Shield Manipulation I/IV - allows use of active shield hardeners
- Armor Tanking Skills
- Hull Upgrades IV - more armor, allows for armor hardeners
- Repair Systems III - required for armor and structure repairers, higher levels get you faster armor repairing = more armor repaired per second
- Mechanic III - 5% increased structure per level, required for armor repairers
Intermediate Skills
These are skills that everyone should have, but that represent lower priorities than things like basic tackling or racial cruiser skills. You should train them as soon as you can fit them in, but make sure you have the basic skills you need to have fun trained first.
Advanced Learning
Even though the word "Advanced" is in the title, these skills are part of the basics of the game, and should completed as soon as possible. The Advanced Learning skills cost a bit more than the basics (4.5m in empire and usually 5m-6.5m in Scalding Pass); thus, while you should get them early you may have to pick them up one at a time.
This is the recommended advanced learning skillpath for Revelations. If you did basic learning, and then fleshed out some more skills, or if you got some of the "basic" learning skills at character creation, just start where you left off.:
- Instant Recall I
- Analytical Mind I
- Learning I
- Instant Recall II
- Analytical Mind II
- Learning II
- Instant Recall III
- Analytical Mind III
- Learning III
- Instant Recall IV
- Eidetic Memory I
- Eidetic Memory II
- Eidetic Memory III
- Analytical Mind IV
- Logic I
- Logic II
- Logic III
- Learning IV
- Eidetic Memory IV
- Logic IV
- (Order does not matter)
- Spatial Awareness I
- Spatial Awareness II
- Spatial Awareness III
- Iron Will I
- Iron Will II
- Iron Will III
- Empathy I
- Empathy II
- Empathy III
- Train Spatial Awareness IV, Iron Will IV, or Empathy IV, based on whichever attribute is the highest (Perception, Willpower, or Charisma). (i.e. If Perception is your highest of those three attributes, train Spatial Awareness IV.)
- Train Clarity, Focus or Presence to level 4 (again, based on your highest attribute).
- Repeat the above two steps for the other two skills.
Implants can (among other things) boost your attributes directly, and are highly recommended. However, can be expensive to buy, and if you are pod-killed while using them, you lose them. Still, even +1 implants are useful, and you should try and keep a set in at all times unless you know are you going to be podded repeatedly.
You will need the Cybernetics skill to use implants, and will want the Infomorph Psychology skill as well.
You want Infomorph Psychology because setting up Jump Clones before installing implants will make your life drastically easier. You won't be able to set up a Jump Clone until you've made the trip to a GoonSwarm station and trained the Infomorph Psychology skill.
Cybernetics has the Science skill as a prerequisite.
Support Skills
- After you finish training the above skill paths, you should work on fleshing out your Support Skills.
Support skills are skills which (generally) aren't required for specific modules. Instead, they give blanket increases to all of a certain type of module - for instance, Surgical Strike increases all turret damage by 3%, from a Civilian Gatling Cannon to a 1400mm Howitzer Artillery Cannon. Training these skills will make you more lethal, independent of what you decide to fly. These skills are vital for all pilots because their effects are multiplied instead of added, and skills have no stacking penalty for bonuses like modules.
- If you are at a loss for what to train, pick a category that relates to your flight style, and train them up.
Be sure to balance your training between main and support skills. Training all support skills immediately to IV will mean you can fly a very nasty frigate. Train them to III and you could be competent in a battleship in the same amount of time. As with all skills, diminishing returns become somewhat apparent after level II and very apparent after level IV.
A full list of Support Skills is available, along with in-depth information on their functions.
Universal Ship Skills
Certain skills are completely safe to train at any time, to any level, as they improve every ship in the game regardless of your race or playing style. They are:
- Electronics - Improves CPU for all ships, allowing more/better modules to fit.
- Engineering - Improves powergrid for all ships, allowing more/better modules to fit.
- Signature Analysis - Improves targeting speed.
- Weapon Upgrades - Lowers CPU requirements for gun or missile modules. See also Advanced Weapon Upgrades.
- Navigation - Increases base speed for all ships. Better chance of catching up to, or escaping from, enemies.
- Evasive Maneuvering - Increases ship agility, reducing align times and allowing closer orbits at higher speeds.
- Energy Systems Operation - Increases capacitor recharge rate, which is necessary for almost all modules.
- Energy Management - Increases maximum capacitor capacity.
Advanced Advice Regarding Training Choices
Here's some more advanced advice since it seems many of you are ready for it. Don't fear multiple ship races!!! There's no reason to continue with Caldari to battleship just because you already have Caldari Cruiser III or even Frigate IV.
Let's imagine these two scenarios
- Caldari Frigate IV noob wants to train for a cruiser.
- -> Caldari cruiser III takes about 3 days.
- -> Another race's frigate IV plus cruiser III takes 5.5 days. Not that much worse.
- Caldari Cruiser III dude wants to train for a battleship.
- -> Caldari cruiser IV takes about 7 days
- -> Another race's frigate IV plus cruiser IV takes only 11 days. Still not that bad.
Don't think that all the support skills make the difference either. If you are a missile guy and have never trained gunnery or vice versa, it only takes a week or two to become competent at one or the other. I define "competent" as meaning you can do tactically all the same things (i.e. are on the same 'playing field') but are generally 5% to 15% less effective at it. That's not a big difference!!
Here's the general lesson to take from this -> If you already have level III/IV in a skill and have to choose to take something to level IV/V remember that training ANYTHING to V takes so much longer than the other four levels combined that in choosing you should consider the previous 4 levels as not significant. Otherwise you're doing yourself a disservice in training a skill maybe that you'd like to have less than the other one just because you think you're "almost there". Ratio of levels I to IV of any skill VS level V = 45.3:210 or ~ 1:5. Ratio of levels I to III of any skill VS level IV = 8:37.3 or ~ 1:5. So is it worth training Caldari Frigate V for Interceptors when really you'd prefer the Amarr Interceptor when in actuality Caldari frigate IV gives you only a 20% head start?
Long Term Planning Beyond the Basic Skills
In a sense, the entire list above is "basic." Once you have all the appropriate skills from the above list trained, you aren't "done" -- you've just established a basic foundation that will make you relatively competent at whatever specific skill path you pick, whether that's Interceptors, Battleships, Recon Ships or whatever else.

My boys love to sit up in their room and watch cartoons for a little bit after dinner but they're constantly fighting over whose bed to sit in and who can sit where so I was looking for a seating solution... That's when I discovered Soothing Bean Bags which is part of The Soothing Company.
Soothing Bean Bags is a leading retailer for any bean bag chair, lounger, or foam furniture desired to make a living space cozy and relaxing. Offering everything from kids bean bags to pet bean bag beds and everything in between, Soothing Bean Bags is sure to have the perfect bean bag for your needs.
We were recently sent a Jaxx Club Jr Bean Bag Chair to review and my boys love it. It's the perfect size for them to sit on together or for one of them to lay on while the other lays in their bed, not to mention it's the perfect size for a kids bedroom!
When our bean bag chair arrived I was a little taken back by the way it was packaged... The foam, which is 100% recycled shredded furniture grade urethane foam, comes tightly sealed in plastic and is vacuum packed which I guess helps save on shipping. Anyway, you have to unwrap three layers of tape, put the foam in the protective liner, and let it sit for 2-3 days allowing the foam to expand. It's actually pretty neat, just not what I expected!
What I absolutely love about the Jaxx Club Jr Bean Bag Chair is the fact that it has a child proof protective liner and a washable outer cover making it super easy to clean. The colorful microsuede is actually weather resistant too so you can use it outside during the warmer months.
Fun, colorful, lightweight, and durable, the Jaxx Club Jr Bean Bag Chair is the perfect addition to any kids room, play room, or game room and since it comes in five fun colors you can even choose one to match your decor. You can purchase one today for $85 with FREE shipping and no tax!

"Taming Trump", Key Republican Appointments: What a Trump Presidency Might Look Like
By Jack Rasmus
In the weeks since the November 8 US presidential election, the dim outlines of what a Trump presidency might look like are beginning to appear. Trump continues to retreat on several fronts from his campaign 'right populist' positions, while doubling-down on other radical positions he previously proposed during the campaign. How to make sense of his apparent evolving policy divergence?
One the one hand, Trump appears to moving closer to traditional Republican party elite positions on big reductions of taxes on corporate-investor elites and on delivering long standing elite demands to deregulate business; at the same time he appears to be moderating his position with regard to that third top priority of the US neoliberal elite—i.e. free trade—as he back-peddles rapidly from his campaign attacks on trade and free trade agreements.
At the same time Trump appears to be doubling down on his campaign's radical social policy issues like immigration (promising to immediately deport or jail 3 million), taking a harder line position on law and order and civil liberties (declaring those who burn the flag should lose their US citizenship or go to jail), reaffirming his intent to privatize education services (by appointing a hard liner as Education Secretary who strongly favors charter schools and school vouchers), attacking environmental programs and protestors (calling for restoration of the Keystone pipeline), while showing early signs of moving closer toward Congressional Republican elite leaders, like Paul Ryan, and Ryan's radical proposal to replace current Medicare with a federal 'voucher' system that would freeze the amount Medicare would pay doctors and hospitals as health care costs continued to escalate.
Areas Still Vague: Infrastructure Spending and Foreign Policy
Less clear than Trump's above policy bifurcation are what policy positions he will take on fiscal and monetary matters.
Trump campaign promises of more government spending on 'infrastructure' still remain too vague. Will that mean more oil and gas pipelines and coal mining? More tax cuts to construction companies? More direct subsidies to businesses? And how much 'spending' is involved? Early indications are the infrastructure program may be mostly tax credits for businesses—and in addition to his massive corporate-investor tax cuts also planned.
Trump in the past has called for $1 trillion. (Clinton had called for a $250 billion program over five years. That $50 billion was just about the amount the US now provides in subsidies to agribusiness). And so far as infrastructure spending's impact on the US economy, $50 billion a year is insignificant. $1 trillion and $100 billion a year over ten years, Trump's campaign proposal, might have some effect on US GDP. But GDP growth does not necessarily translate into benefits in income to all—as the last eight years has clearly shown as 97% of all GDP-income gains under Obama have gone to the wealthiest 1% households. Nor will infrastructure spending likely translate much into job creation—and could especially result in little positive impact on jobs if infrastructure spending is composed mostly of tax cuts, business subsidies, and high capital-intensive projects that may take years to realize. It is highly unlikely Trump is talking about a 1930s-like 'public works program'. It's more likely to be the federal government writing checks to big construction companies, pocketing nice profit margins in the process.
Trump's influence over monetary policy in general—and interest rates in particular—will be even more minimal.
And the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cat is already out of the bag. Long term rates have been already rising rapidly and will continue to do so, as will the US dollar in turn, as the two—rates and the dollar—are highly correlated. And the Federal Reserve is clearly on track to raise short term rates soon.
The question is whether the rise in interest rates—short and long term–will discourage investment, thus hiring and job creation, in those industries not directly affected by infrastructure spending? Will the negative effect of rate rises on investment and job creation be greater than the positive effect of infrastructure spending? Will those negative effects emerge sooner than the positive from infrastructure investment? And will the rising dollar associated with the rate hikes further reduce manufacturing exports and jobs in that sector? The dollar rise has already stagnated manufacturing output and employment. Further increases will almost certainly result in a contraction of manufacturing exports and jobs.
'Yes' is probably the answer to all the above, which means Trump job creation net effects during his first two years in office may not materialize. Moderate at best job creation from delayed infrastructure spending could be more than offset by job loss from rising rates and the US dollar.
The other major Trump policy area that still remains vague is foreign policy. It is not clear as yet what Trump's true positions will be on NATO and China. But the US elite are intent on bringing him around to their positions and will exert extreme pressure on Trump in order to do so. They have already begun to do so. They will not let up on the pressure.
Trump's intent is to become more militarily aggressive against ISIS in the middle east, and possibly 'partnering' with Russia to do so. That latter possibility is currently causing fits with US elites behind the scene. Backing off from NATO military deployment provocations in eastern Europe, the US-NATO current policy, while looking favorably on Europe's backing off of economic sanctions against Russia, may also become Trump policy.

Posted on 12/20/2003 8:44:56 AM PST by NewHampshireDuo
Modern-day concerns clashed with a holiday gift-buying tradition at Hollis Elementary School this week.
A controversy erupted after a small multi-tool item that contained a knife blade was sold to students at an annual sale sponsored by the school's Parent Teacher Club.
Students possessing knives in school is a violation of the Bonny Eagle School District's weapons policy. Grace Ward, superintendent of the district, also known as School Administrative District 6, said she stopped the sale of the items, called "pocket pliers," on Wednesday after she learned that two parents had called to complain that some had been sold to children on the first day of the sale Tuesday.
Children buy the inexpensive items to give as holiday gifts.
The pocket pliers - contained in a sturdy plastic package that is difficult to open and then wrapped in gift paper - were bought by 16 children, but arrived home safely and all the parents were informed of the purchase, she said.
Ward said the inclusion of the Swiss-Army-style multi-tools was an innocent oversight by well-intentioned parent volunteers, who each year buy small items like puzzles or candles to resell to students at cost so the youngsters can have affordable gifts to give their parents or other family members for the holidays. "It's been resolved," Ward said Thursday.
However, the sale of the tools in a school district with one of the strictest weapons policies in the state raised concerns among some parents. It also underscores how seemingly benign items - Ward said the pocket pliers were intended as gifts for fathers or other family members who enjoy hunting, fishing or camping - can be viewed in a new light in this post-Columbine era.
"It's a different world today," said Roger Richards, an administrator at the Maine Department of Education who oversees funding to local schools under the federal Safe and Drug-free Schools program. He praised Ward for acting quickly to enforce the district's weapons policy, which was strengthened following a series of bomb threats and other incidents after the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado.
In the past, Richards said, pocket pliers would have seemed "pretty harmless."
They resemble a pair of pliers but have fold-out tools in the handles that include a screwdriver, bottle opener and a knife blade. The tools were among hundreds of items that were part of the annual sale. Parent volunteers scour stores all year to find bargain gifts for the students.
But Rich Eilinger, one of the parents who called to complain about the multi-tools, was shocked that they were on sale. "Two days ago, my son came home - he's 11 years old and in the fifth-grade - and asked my wife if he could buy a knife in school. That raised a few eyebrows," Eilinger said Thursday.
He said he's satisfied now that the problem has been resolved. But he said he contacted the news media because he didn't think school officials in the district, which serves Buxton, Limington and Standish as well as Hollis, were responding appropriately at first.
"I was just flabbergasted," he said. "The parent teacher organization was selling knives to elementary school students and the school approved it."
Deb Silver, president of the school's parent teacher club, concedes it was a mistake for volunteers to have bought about 20 pocket pliers for resale, but said it was unintended.
She said purchasers spend "countless hours" looking for inexpensive gifts for the children, and simply saw them as an affordable present a father or brother might appreciate. Ward said the items in the sale range in cost from 25 cents to $4, and the pocket pliers cost $4.
Silver said the knife blade on the pocket pliers wasn't very sharp and she compared it to "basically a long fingernail file." Her own son, a second-grader, purchased one as a gift, she said.
Eilinger said he saw two sizes of the multi-tool, shown to him by a father whose son, a Boy Scout, had purchased both, and estimated the knife blades ranged in length from 3 to 3 1/2 inches. The man was not upset about the sale of the pocket pliers, Eilinger said, but "he was surprised they were selling it in school."
Silver said that before the pocket pliers were sold on Tuesday, the principal of Hollis Elementary, Mark Kellis, told parent volunteers that the parents of the children buying such a gift must be informed and give permission.
Kellis on Thursday referred all comments to Ward, who said she had no knowledge of what Kellis might have said.
Ward said 16 students bought pocket pliers and that in nine of the cases, the parents were volunteering at the school during the sale and brought the gift home themselves. The other seven students took the wrapped pocket pliers home in their backpacks, she said. One child forgot to take the item out of the backpack at home, but it was discovered in school the next day and brought to the office, Ward said.
In the future, the items in the annual sale will have to meet school approval, Ward said.
She and Silver said they worry that the flap about the pocket pliers will overshadow the positive nature of the sale, a holiday tradition at the school for several years. It allows children who live in the country a unique opportunity to play Santa Claus to their families and friends, Silver said.
"Some of the children have never had a chance to be on the giving end during the holiday season," she said. "The look on their faces says it all. They are excited to be able to surprise their family and friends with the gifts they selected and paid for, usually with their own money."
The teacher called security, they called police, the parents had to pick up the kid at the police station, and the kid was charged, sentenced to probation, and had to perform 200 hours of car washing of police cars.
Bunch of weenies is correct. My parents gave me a Cub Scout multi-bladed pocket knife on my 8th birthday. I have carried a knife in my pocket virtually every day of the 47 years since, including all through school. Nobody cared.
I also on many days brought my .22 rifle to school on the bus and kept it in my locker all day until getting on my friend's bus and going to his farm to shoot woodchucks after school. Nobody cared. Nobody ever got shot or cut.
We've become a nation of sheep. Baaaaaaa.
My grandfather gave me a pocket knife when I was a relatively little kid and told me to always carry it. While that knife is long gone, I've always carried a knife (and where I'm allowed, a gun).

Challenging for the checkered flag on the final lap is what racing is all about, is it not?
That whole "boys have at it" mentality NASCAR gave its seal of approval to a couple of years ago has taken full effect early on in the 2013 race season. Most recently, it's left Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, sidelined with a spinal injury and Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet, throwing punches in the direction of Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Penske Racing Ford. And don't forget those 28 or so fans who were injured by debris flying into the grandstands at the end of the Nationwide Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on Feb. 23.
Hamlin will be sidelined approximately six weeks as a result of a last lap incident in the Auto Club 400 Sprint Cup Series race in Fontana, Calif., last Sunday. As he and Logano raced side-by-side for the win on the final lap, the two drivers made contact that sent Logano's car into the outside retaining wall and Hamlin's car head-on into the inside wall. While Hamlin was awake and alert and able to climb out of his car under his own power, he collapsed soon after getting out of the car and was sent to a local hospital.
A rift was created between the former JGR teammates (Logano previously drove the No. 20 Toyota at Joe Gibbs Racing) at Bristol (Ten.) Motor Speedway a week earlier when the two drivers made contact. A Twitter war then ensued between the two drivers the week between the Bristol and Fontana races.
"We worked it last week (at Bristol)," Logano said after the Fontana race. "He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets."
As for Stewart (also a former driver of the No. 20 at JGR) and Logano, Stewart got upset at Logano after Logano blocked him on a restart in the final 15 laps of the race at Auto Club Speedway. After the race, Stewart headed over to Logano's car and threw several punches, none of which actually made contact with Logano.
"I had to throw the block there," Logano said of the incident with Stewart. "That was a race for the lead. I felt if the 14 got underneath me, that was going to be the end of my opportunity to win the race, so I was just trying to protect the spot I had. I was actually pedaling, because I couldn't keep the 18 aligned. I was actually faster than the 18 getting our tires hooked up. And then I'm trying to stagger myself making sure I don't beat him to the line and then I had to block the 14 because I was pedaling it. I'll talk to him and we'll see what happens. I think he finished decent. We'll just talk about it some more."
One common denominator in these incidents, with the exception of the Nationwide race at Daytona, is Logano. Does that mean that he's doing something wrong? Does he have a chip on his shoulder?
While I don't like to see a driver injured, or worse, I do believe that these incidents could be chalked up to racing incidents. And after all, isn't this racing? Shouldn't a racer do whatever he can to stay in front of his competition? If drivers are expected to pull over and let faster cars pass, that would pretty much take the driver out of the equation. Then racing would just be about which car is the fastest and have little or nothing to do with a driver's talent and abilities.
"For a guy that has been complaining about how everybody else is driving here and then (for) him to do that it's a double standard," Stewart said. "He makes the choice. He makes the decision to run us down there and when you run a driver down there then you take responsibility for what happens after that. He is a tough guy on pit road as soon as one of his crew guys gets in the middle of it. Until then he's a scared little kid. Then he wants to sit there and throw a water bottle at me. He is going to learn a lesson. He can run his mouth on Twitter and stuff all he wants tonight. I've got plenty of people that are going to watch for that. It's time he learns a lesson. He's run his mouth long enough. He has sat there and done this double standard and he's nothing but a little rich kid that has never had to work in his life. He's going to learn with us working guys that had to work our way up how it works."
Maybe drivers just aren't used to aggressive driving from Logano. Maybe Logano's tired of being pushed around and is now driving with a chip on his shoulder. He moved to a new team this year, making the move to Penske Racing to drive the No. 22 Ford as a teammate to reigning Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in the No. 2 Ford. Maybe Logano sees this as a fresh start to his, to this point, struggling Sprint Cup career.
Logano entered NASCAR with the moniker of "sliced bread," as in the best thing since. While he fared extremely well at the Nationwide level, he has struggled in the Sprint Cup pond. Maybe he was moved to Cup too early to replace Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart in the No. 20. He never seemed to get all that much respect in the Cup garage, not even from teammates Hamlin and Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 JGR Toyota. He was this young, skinny kid that many of the other Sprint Cup Series drivers just didn't seem to have a lot of respect for.
Fellow drivers, don't want to deal with Logano on the race track? Then maybe you should make sure you run in front of him. After all, this is racing, not pull over and let everyone pass.

Great sleeping
We replaced our "gym mat" mattresses for our houseboat with these mattresses. Height and width were both strong considerations in our choices. We are very pleased with the mattresses. They are firm, yet comfortable and for the first time since we bought the boat, we are getting a really good night's sleep. They fit the bill - perfectly.

MSc Economic History / MSc Economic History (Research)
page on the London School of Economics and Political Science website for more details!
My perfect day at LSE is as follows: attend a lecture by my favourite professor in the Economic History department; study on the second floor in the Library (plus check Facebook there!); have some Chinese food in the Brunch Bowl; go to my ballet class in Parish Hall and then listen to a public lecture! Maybe a little drink with friends before heading back home. I just love it! This one year programme has helped me to think like an economist, an historian, a globalist. It has also shaped my life goal: to become a global citizen. I get everything I want here; be it the famous professors, academic freedom, diverse social activities, or public debate about current hot political and economic issues. I am 'forced' to arrange my time more efficiently and distribute my resources more rationally – though you have access to everything here at LSE, there aren't enough hours in the day! LSE has taught me how to set priorities. The best thing about this year? That I got my dream job through a careers fair at LSE – once I graduate I will move to Los Angeles and work for one of the world's biggest investment management firms. It is a two year rotation programme for graduates – I will be working in six countries in two years. I can't think of anything more exciting than this.
When looking for a graduate degree I was looking for a school that offered a world class curriculum located in an international metropolis. I had a pretty clear idea of what I was looking for and LSE's reputation and location made it an easy choice. London is a fantastic place for students; it is a city that can be all things to all people. More than any other global centre, London truly feels like the crossroads of the world. My favourite aspects of LSE are definitely the people and the location. I have found LSE to have an incredibly collegial atmosphere. The work is intense and all of my peers are talented, but there is a real esprit de corps that makes it a rewarding experience. The professors express a genuine interest in the students' learning, and I have probably learned as much by assimilation from the London environment as I have from the programme. Between the intellectual rigour of the classroom, the international student body, and the backdrop of London, LSE provides you with opportunities to challenge yourself in as many ways as you can dream up. I have had time to interact with accomplished peers and faculty who have challenged me to refine my thinking, to expand the scope of my knowledge and experience, and to understand the limits of what we can assess in the scope of social sciences. London has given me the chance to interact with world leaders, both in and outside the classroom, in the fields of finance, economics, and politics - those experiences are priceless.

I ask this random question for a reason, and I already know that people are going to spout their views about something being a figment of my imagination, untrue or otherwise.
I have this shadow that roams my house. My children have seen it too, on separate occasions, not knowing that I've seen it as well.
Anyway, while folding laundry, I felt like I was being watched, just to look up and see this shadow dissipate.
I'm not sure if I would rather have seen someone staring at me or what I infact saw.

My current PC will be three years old in two weeks time. That's one year older than my previous personal best. I still have my previous PC and it's still in use, but I only used it for two years as primary system.
My current system still has quite decent specs, apart from the graphics card: P4 3.06 GHz (Northwood core), ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, 1GB DDR RAM, 120GB HD, DVD+/-RW, … But everything is slower than today's equipment. The CPU's FSB is running at 533 MHz, the memory is PC2100, etc etc.
I'm currently aiming at these specs for the new system:
- Intel P4 940 (dual core 3.2 GHz 64-bit with 2x 2MB L2 cache)
- ATI Radeon X1900XT(X) with 512MB video memory
- 2 GB DDR2 system memory
- 200 GB or larger SATA2 hard disk
- Dual layer DVD writer
If everything goes fine, I'll buy all components within two weeks and experience a power boost

Thyroid nodules are commonly diagnosed in adults. Although rare in children, the risk for thyroid cancer is much higher in the pediatric population compared with adults. Presenting as either a solitary nodule or a multinodular goiter, thyroid nodular disease in children requires a thorough workup that includes a detailed clinical examination comprised of prior history of thyroid disease in the patient or in their family, history of radiation exposure, careful palpation of the thyroid and lymph nodes, blood tests, ultrasonography, and cytological assessment. Thyroid surgery is the gold-standard treatment for pediatric thyroid nodules; nonetheless, the extent of surgery remains controversial. Because surgery is not without risk, the decision matrix necessitates focus on the benefits of surgery for the child contingent upon all the preoperative exams. New diagnostic technology such as molecular testing with fine needle aspiration biopsy may help distinguish between benign and malignant lesions while potentially decreasing surgery for benign disease. The objective of this review is to summarize new concepts in clinical disease management of nodular thyroid disease in the pediatric population, including patient history, medical examination, and diagnosis workup.

Anti-Ageing tips for men who donât look like George Clooney
28 May 2015
This week, George Clooney announced that men age better if they accept it gracefully rather than fight it. Of course, we can't all look as good as the Hollywood heartthrob, so for those looking to 'cheat' their way to a younger appearance, here are some Anti-Ageing tips.
- Dye your hair and beard. Fix your grey hair the easy way – with a helping hand from a bottle of dye. According to research, the nation's go-to brand is Just For Men, with one in seven British men deciding to hide their grey hair. Even David Beckham has been known to dye his salt and pepper beard. We won't tell if you don't!
- Cosmetic Surgery. It's common for male celebrities to deny having had Cosmetic Surgery. The stronger their denial, the more unconvincing their claims seem. There are many procedures available to help turn back the clock, including Brow Lift, Blepharoplasty (Eye Bag Removal) and Face Lift – George himself was rumoured to have undergone Blepharoplasty back in 2013.
- Laser & Skin Treatments. More common these days is the uptake of Laser & Skin treatments among men, leading to the Brotox phenomenon as men decide to do something once and for all about their unwanted wrinkles.
- Teeth whitening. Smiling can erase years, as long as your teeth are pearly white. You don't have to go down the dentistry route though; teeth whitening kits are available for as cheap as £10.
So there you have it – there are plenty of ways to look younger in no time, even if you're not George Clooney.

|[jira] Created: (LUCENE-2028) FilteredTermEnum.Java - The first term in the enumeration is skipped.
|Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:09:32 GMT
FilteredTermEnum.Java - The first term in the enumeration is skipped. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: LUCENE-2028 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2028 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Search Affects Versions: 2.4.1 Environment: JDK 1.6 Reporter: Danish Contractor The Filtered Term Enumeration seems to skip the first term present in the enumerator. The problem lies in the next() function, which moves does not do anything with the first value of currentTerm set by the setEnum() method. The setEnum() function sets a value to the currentTerm and returns. An implementation of WildCardTermEnum, for example calls the next() method where the currentTerm is set to null and the enumerator moves to the next value. The first term is not read. In my local workspace, I have modified the two methods - setEnum() and next() as follows: protected void setEnum(TermEnum actualEnum) throws IOException { this.actualEnum = actualEnum; this.startedReading=false; // Find the first term that matches Term term = actualEnum.term(); if (term != null && termCompare(term)) currentTerm = term; else next(); } /** Increments the enumeration to the next element. True if one exists. */ public boolean next() throws IOException { if (actualEnum == null) return false; // the actual enumerator is not initialized! if(currentTerm!=null &&!startedReading) //check if first term read { startedReading=true; return true; } currentTerm = null; while (currentTerm == null) { if (endEnum()) return false; if (actualEnum.next()) { Term term = actualEnum.term(); if (termCompare(term)) { currentTerm = term; return true; } } else return false; } currentTerm = null; return false; } I have added a boolean variable called startedReading that is a member of the FilteredTermEnum class and is set to false. Once the currentTerm set by setEnum is read, I set this value to true and the code continues as before. I have run a few of my own test cases and it returns the results I was looking for which were missing earlier as they happened to be the first term in the enumerator. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

The Bamboos, The Budos Band, DJ Shadow, The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Jamiroquai and more.
Dr. J Presents... (Volume 4)
Taking it back a while, (2007 to be exact!) - volume four is all about funk and soul, whether that be traditional old school classics such as those brought to us by Marlena Shaw through to the reggae/ragga infused Latin stormer from Ozomatli - if it's funky and full of soul flavour, it makes the cut.
Part 1 launches us into the realm of funk and soul with contributions varying from straight-up funk, through to snippets of hip-hop grasping the soul sound and everything inbetween. Definitely one for dancing - if you've ever been to Durham's Planet of Sound (Vane Tempest) you'll know where I was going with this mix. Part 2's where the twist kicks in...
Cheers Jonathan! Much appreciated!
LOOKOUT!LOOKOUT! Heavy , hard driving bass and percusion action on this mix! A must listen to!!!

Supply and Demand
Demand- the desire, willingness and ability to buy a good or service
Gabrielle Mould
Demand changes because the consumers need for that product or service becomes greater or lesser causing the demand to fluctuate.
Supply- the quantities of a good or service that producers are killing to see at all possible market prices.
If the demand for a good or service fluctuates, it causes a company to buy more or less of that product based on the need for that product thus increasing or decreasing their supply.
Equilibrium Price is the price at which the amount producers are willing to supply is equal to the amount consumers are willing to buy(demand).

EFSA Panel Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW); Scientific Opinion on the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza and its potential implications for animal health
- Authors:
- Subtitle:
- 10.2903/j.efsa.2010.1770
- Abstract:
- Analysis of the recent pandemic (H1N1) 2009 (pH1N1) virus indicates a probable origin in pigs. However, it was not reported in pigs prior to its detection in humans. Several cases of pH1N1 virus infections in animals have been reported, mainly in pigs but also in other animals including turkeys. Occasionally, pigs have been infected following exposure to pH1N1 infected humans. In pigs, a subclinical course was common and when clinical signs were seen (coughing, fever) they were generally mild. Presently, the clinical impact of pH1N1virus on the EU pig population is considered minimal. In poultry, outbreaks of pH1N1 have been reported only in turkey breeder flocks. So far, there is no evidence that pH1N1 virus is able to spread horizontally among turkeys. Awareness should be raised about the risk of infecting breeder turkeys with pH1N1 virus during artificial insemination. To date, no infection of wild birds with pH1N1 virus has been reported. From an animal health perspective, no specific disease control measures are considered necessary. Vaccines based on the pH1N1 virus appear to induce protection in swine similar to that induced by the existing swine influenza virus (SIV) vaccines. Such vaccines efficiently prevent disease by reducing virus replication in the lungs. However, voluntary vaccination of swine with these vaccines has not halted the circulation of SIV in swine. There is no urgency for vaccination of pigs against pH1N1 virus. Currently, no vaccines against H1 viruses for poultry are available but at present, there is no need to vaccinate poultry against pH1N1 virus. Monitoring of circulating influenza viruses in swine and poultry populations should be instigated to monitor the evolution of the pH1N1 virus including changes in virulence.

"Giving birth"
About: North Middlesex Hospital North Middlesex Hospital London N18 1QX
Posted by Annie
I would highly recommend having your baby in the birth centre at North Middlesex hospital. I had a wonderful experience from the start with the friendly midwifery staff. I was very impressed with the beautiful birthing centre rooms. They really made you feel at home and relaxed. The midwifed that I had were all great but one Midwife was excellent - was so supportive and reassuring from beginning to end and made bringing my baby into the world a wonderful experience. Thank you and all the rest of the staff. Would definitely have my baby at North Mid again.
Response from North Middlesex Hospital 13 months ago

Hybrid zones - geographical areas in which hybrids of species are found - are important windows on the evolutionary process. They provide insights into the nature of the species, the way barriers to gene exchange function, the genetic basis of those barriers, and the dynamics of the speciation process. This is a synthesis of the current research.
"Provides a timely update on many theoretical issues and includes examples of long-term multidisciplinary studies. . . . deserves a wide audience." --Jack W. Sites, Jr. (Brigham Young University), Science
"Provides in-depth background introducing important concepts and analytical methodologies used in hybrid zone studies. Several excellent illustrative case histories are also presented, highlighting many of the most extensively studied hybrid zones....The concepts, methodologies, and diversity of issues stressed in each of the case histories provide valuable reference material for ecologists and evolutionary biologists regardless of taxonomic affinities or research interests." --Ecology
"Presents a masterful overview of hybrid zone theory and empirical evidence on the nature of hybrid zones in a variety of organisms....Each of the case studies was extremely interesting, and went beyond reporting of facts, often providing thoughtful and critical interpretations of the data....

I decided to smoke a chicken yesterday; however, I decided to brine it before putting it on the Q. Brined for 5 hours. I used a seasoning I found a recipe for on the web. It came out very moist and tasty. I used apple wood chunks in the Q. The family loved the taste and it was moist. I will continue to brine any future chickens. I used 1 gal water, 1/2 c sea salt, 1/2 c sugar in the raw, & juiced 1 lemon.

The dormer window is a light source in the oddly configured space under the eaves, but it can seem like an obstacle to graceful decor. It makes no sense to ignore it because the shape and placement of the dormer will upstage the rest of your bedroom unless you tame it with clever, functional design. View the dormer as a bonus and experiment with decor that integrates it into the rest of the room.
Dormer for Dreaming
A dormer is an invitation to a window seat -- all you need is a built-in bench and a good book to take advantage of the alcove. Create storage under the bench for off-season clothes or other closet hogs and cover a thick foam cushion with faded velvet for soft landings. Deepen the alcove with bookcases flanking the window, just to the height where the ceiling begins to slant. Hang a velvet curtain on brass rings from a brass rod over the top of the window to pull across the seat for a private reading nook. A directional wall sconce makes an out-of-the-way reading lamp.
Desk Duty
Create work space with plenty of daylight and the sense of a barrier between the beds to enhance privacy in a shared bedroom. A wide dormer window lets you position one twin bed on either side of the window wall, each bed under the slant of the gabled roof, and separate the two with a double desk under the window. Partly pulled back curtains along the edge of the slanted ceiling section next to the beds are decorative and become fluid "walls" when allowed to fall freely. Put a cushioned chest at the foot of each bed to store extra blankets and bedding and supply a seat for pulling on boots or shoes. A long dresser along the low opposite wall takes advantage of the awkward slanted space.
Dharma Dormer
The bedroom at the top of the house is removed from the daily fray and the perfect hermitage for your more reflective moments. Use the dormer window as a meditation space to catch the early morning and late afternoon light and the peaceful rays of the full moon. Place a small, ornate table or cupboard in front of the window and set your Buddha statue or other objects of focus on it. A fat cushion on the floor before the altar completes the bare-bones setup. Add tea lights, an incense holder, a vase for flowers or a green plant. Apply translucent film to the window glass if there's too much glare. The straight lower walls next to the dormer are perfect for displaying silk tangkas, the hand-painted banners depicting Buddhist icons or other deities. Decorate the rest of the room in neutrals with a lot of white to maintain the atmosphere of tranquility.
Mini-Bistro Bedroom Window
A deep dormer window in the attic bedroom will surround a tiny bistro table and two chairs for a charming breakfast or late-night wine bar under the eaves. Hang a flea market chandelier with a dimmer over the table, or wind fairy lights all over the chandelier, to light evening snacks romantically. Frame narrow Art Nouveau posters and secure them to the slanted walls that flank the window. If the alcove is very deep, add hinged shutters to the floor that close to hide the tiny cafe and the window after hours. Paint the shutters matte emerald, royal purple, antique vanilla or slate. An area rug under the table and chairs will define the space when the dormer is shallow, and close-fitting sheers, shirred top and bottom over the window, will filter the light.

This will cut down on repitition so that we don't see the same questions popping up everyday. I get that new users won't know about previously asked questions, so with this side bar option it will keep the questions and most prevalent answers on the screen so those new users can go straight to that section. E. g. :
- 6 inches is FINE - stop worrying
- Medium sized with a nice shape (but hell i'll be happy with any really)
- It doesn't matter what your height is, it's the personality that wins us over
plus a few others
The GaG team really should install this feature me thinks

I haven't asked a question in a while so I'm not sure if it still does it, but in the past, when you submitted a question, a bunch of similar questions came up and then you had to click on "submit" again to actually submit your question. Like I say, I don't know if that's how it still is but back then, people obviously still chose to submit their question even though it's likely the same or very similar questions had been asked previously. I think the thing is that people want "personalised" answers. They want to feel like people are answering them, for their more or less unique situations, and don't want to read answers that were for someone else. Even if it was someone else with the exactly same problem/question.
So I don't think much can be done to stop people from asking the same questions over and over. People want an "individualized" experience :D00|00|0

Empanaditas con Papas y Chorizo (Little Empanadas with Potatoes and Chorizo)
How to Make It
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse 2 times or until combined. Add butter; pulse 4 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly add 1/2 cup ice water and vinegar through food chute, processing just until combined (do not form a ball). Gently press mixture into 2 (5-inch) circles on plastic wrap; cover. Chill for 1 hour.
Remove chorizo from casings. Cook chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble.
Place potato in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes or until tender; drain. Place in a large bowl; mash with a potato masher. Add chorizo, paprika, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir until well combined.
Preheat oven to 425°.
Remove dough from refrigerator, and halve each disc. Place 1 dough portion between 2 sheets of wax paper. Roll into a 1/4-inch thickness; cut 2 (3-inch) circles with a biscuit cutter. Repeat procedure with the remaining dough portions. Combine excess dough, roll to 1/4-inch-thickness, and cut 4 (3-inch) circles with a biscuit cutter. Working with 1 circle at a time (cover remaining circles with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon 1 tablespoon potato mixture into center of each circle; fold dough over filling. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Place empanadita on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining dough circles and potato mixture. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon water and egg white. Lightly brush tops of empanaditas with egg mixture. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
