First-time buyers and women looking for a softer, more realistic vibrator will love the Realistic Jelly. The Realistic Jelly Vibrator has topped bestseller lists at Vibrators.com for the past decade. This is because of its value price and larger size.
About the Realistic Jelly Vibrator
The Realistic Jelly Vibrator is a large, realistically shaped vibrator that is soft, pliable and curved for g-spot pleasure. This big jelly vibrator is 8.25 inches long for deep penetration, with a diameter of 1.6 inches. The Hot Pinks Curved Vibrator is phthalate-free and skin safe. Before this vibrator was improved to be phthalate-free, it was called the King Tut Vibrator. Now it is know as the Hot Pinks.
How does the Realistic Jelly Vibrator Feel?
This vibrator has some give and curve, meaning you can angle it to reach your g-spot. Use it internally for titillating vaginal sensations, or externally for clitoral massage. Veins and ridges provide texture and friction, which feels great around your clitoris and vaginal opening. Multi-speed vibrations allow you to turn up the heat.
Use and Special Instructions
The Realistic Jelly Vibrator takes 2 AA batteries. It can be used with water-based or silicone lubricant.
Jelly Vibrators used to have a pretty bad rap. They were smelly and cheaply made. Construction of jelly vibrators has gotten better in the past few years. The Large Realistic Jelly Vibrator is unscented, and made of better, body-safe materials. It still won't last as long as a rechargeable vibrator, but if you're looking for cheap, no-nonsense orgasms, the Jelly Vibrator is a great choice.
Realistic Jelly Vibrator Facts
Understanding Sound and Vibration
Here at Vibrators.com, we test each and every vibrator for vibration and sound levels. Our Vibrator Institute doesn't test vibrators the way you might think; instead, we use scientific equipment that reads vibration and decibel levels. Based on these levels, each vibrator we sell gets a rating. The Power Level ratings are Gentle, Pleasurable, Intense and Unrelenting. The Sound Level ratings are Whisper, Purr, Hum, Buzz and Thundering. The Large Realistic Vibrator has a rating of Pleasurable Purr. This means it vibrates at medium speeds, and has a very soft noise level.
If the experts at Vibrators.com don't like the look, feel, sound or vibration level of a vibrator, we don't sell it. That's why Vibrators.com only sells about 300 vibrators. There are literally tons of vibrators being sold online, with a mind-boggling variety of sizes, shapes and features. We narrow our vibrator selection down considerably to make shopping easy for you.


text: A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected: A 4 litre of 2% milk A carton of eggs A litre of orange juice A head of romaine lettuce A 2-lb. can of coffee A 1-lb. package of bacon As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, she noticed a drunk standing behind her watching her as she placed the items in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single". The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status. Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?" The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly".

Can I use the word "task" for this:
"If John has got 5 apples and Tom has got 7 apples, how many apples do they have together?"
Can I say, "Please solve this task" or "Preparing for the exam, I solved a lot of tasks"?
During a test in maths you have to do several of these.
But how do you call them? And what do you do with them?
You can solve an equation but it looks like this:

Simon Cowell 'can't decide between Sharon Osbourne or Mel B for X Factor'
THE women on this year's X Factor judging panel are reportedly causing Simon Cowell a bit of a headache.
WIth Tulisa said to have been axed already, Cowell is apparently having a hard time choosing who to replace her with.
Both Mel B and Sharon Osbourne are said to be in talks, but the X Factor boss can't make up his mind which one to choose.
Sharon is available and a popular choice with viewers who loved her during her original stint on the show.
But Mel B impressed with her biting comments as guest judge last year, and was also popular with fans.
However, the Spice Girl has just signed up to America's Got Talent - the show that Mrs O quit - and her schedule may be the deciding factor if it clashes with X Factor auditions.
Sources say that Cowell is determined to get the right chemistry this year, after the relatively poor ratings of last year's series.
Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow are both expected to return and Nicole Scherzinger proved to be a hit with viewers last year - although she is yet to sign up for a second run.
X Factor is said to be going back to basics this year, with bosses scrapping the auditions in front of an audience.
That aspect may just put Sharon Osbourne the favourite...

Report: Army took away gun from Dallas cop shooter
The man who ambushed and killed five police officers in downtown Dallas had a gun confiscated from him by an army supervisor two years ago, a new report revealed.
The U.S. Army released more documents on Wednesday on Micah Johnson's military service.
In 2014, Johnson was accused of sexually harassing a fellow soldier and stealing her underwear.
A supervisor had to separate the two at one point during a dispute.
In his own handwriting, Jonhnson tried to explain away the stolen panties found during a search of his room. He insisted the underwear didn't belong to the victim, but rather another female he couldn't name.
Those new details are helping shed light on the conduct and character of the man responsible for the downtown Dallas ambush on law enforcement July 7.
In written statements, Army supervisors report that Johnson ran from them when confronted about the women's underwear. They wrote that he ran away to toss at least four pairs in a dumpster, where they were later recovered.
Supervisors noted they took Johnson's handgun and knife away and during the sexual harassment and theft investigation.
Commanders also had Johnson escorted from his forward operating base, where the victim and the rest of their platoon was assigned, and taken to Bagram Airfield.
The just released information included photos of a grenade round found by soldiers who were packing up Johnson's room. They also found a bag of prescription medication belonging to another solider, who says he didn't give it to Johnson.
The Army explained Johnson would have had no reason to be in possession of an explosive device, especially in barracks where other soldiers sleep.
The report was completed in May 2014, and the final recommendations were redacted. But we do know Johnson was not immediately discharged, in spite of concerns spelled out by the Army itself.
An Army official told FOX 4 in a statement:
"His weapon was taken simply out of an abundance of caution. He did not appear agitated, or threaten himself or others. It was an unusual event for the company and an action taken through an analytical Command decision, rather than any perceived threat."
Johnson was later released from active duty with an honorable service rating. The army has been investigating how that decision was made.

We must think the unthinkable
This was just one of the hypotheses (albeit not entirely original) posited by business consultant Dr Kjell Nordström, author of the international best-seller Funky Business: Talent makes capital dance, at last month's global summit, organised by The Consumer Goods Forum in London.
Nordström likes to entertain and shock his audience in equal measure with his radical views on what makes a successful business. After three days of the great and the good of the consumer goods sector competing in their pledges to work towards a more sustainable world, a little bit of rampant capitalism – or as Nordström preferred to call it "innovism" (innovation that fuels the system) – came as a reality check; and some welcome light relief.
At an event awash with the world's business behemoths, it was ironic to hear about the economic theory of 'creative destruction' – radical innovation that destroys that which came before it. But then, many of these firms are probably among Nordström's clients, striving to be the equivalent of the next Apple rather than IBM.
While it would be easy to dismiss Nordström's views as the ramblings of a free marketer who sees corporate power taking over from the nation state, elements of his treatise ring true. In particular, the need to reward failure rather than success alone. Tomorrow's best ideas will not come from those who play it safe.
Following this logic for the food and drink sector, it is likely that winners will come from agile – probably small – businesses prepared to think the unthinkable.

Gov. Mark Dayton has made two Minneapolis lawyers his latest cabinet appointments.
Dayton announced Wednesday the selection of Mike Rothman as commerce commissioner and Myron Frans as revenue commissioner. Rothman comes from the Winthrop & Weinstine firm, while Frans was most recently with Faegre & Benson.
In a news release, Dayton said Rothman brings a distinguished record of consumer protection to the Commerce Department. Rothman said he was honored by the appointment.
"I will look forward actually to taking care of consumer rights, and working with businesses in creating economic opportunities in a responsible manner," said Rothman. "It's a fun opportunity to get the chance to do it, and I'm looking forward to it."
Myron Frans has nearly three decades of tax law experience as well as strong managerial expertise, according to the governor's announcement.
Frans said he looks forward to working with Dayton to make Minnesota's tax system more fair.
"As the governor said in his inauguration, it's important that everyone pay their fair share," said Frans. "I look forward to being a part of supporting the Revenue Department, and enforcing the revenue laws and making them fair and transparent."
Frans will not join Dayton's administration full time until April, because he needs to wrap up his responsibilities as president of Leeds Precision Instruments in Golden Valley. He as managed the local manufacturing and distributing company since the fall of 2009.
Deputy Commissioner Dan Salamone will continue to lead the department until Frans' arrival.

One man was shot and killed and a police officer was shot in the leg during a three-hour standoff inside an Idaho hotel.
Police didn't release any details about the slain man other than to say he wasn't the suspect. The suspect was arrested late Friday morning after he released a female hostage unharmed and surrendered.
Authorities say the trouble started when a trooper tried to make a traffic stop near Twin Falls but the driver fled, prompting a high-speed chase. The driver eventually crashed near the Hampton Inn hotel and ran inside, where police say he fired gunshots before barricading himself in a stairwell with a hostage.
An Idaho State Police trooper who was chasing the man was shot in the leg and was being treated at a hospital.

Shaun Hill was celebrating his 14th birthday when Brett Favre was making his first playoff run. A decade later, when he made it to the NFL with Minnesota, Hill got to watch Favre twice a year, while Hill was carrying a Vikings clipboard and Favre was carrying the Green Bay Packers.
But Sunday was the first time the legend of Favre and the budding fable of Hill collided on the football field.
"I downplayed it all week," Hill said. "I shoved it away in the back of my mind. When I got in the locker room after the game, I was able to take a step back. That was really neat to play against him and for our team to come away with the win. That's something I'll be able to tell the kids and grandkids way on down the road."
Here's what he'll be able to tell all those future Hills: He played against a Hall of Fame quarterback. And he was the best quarterback on the field.
In their best victory in the past two seasons — against a New York Jets team that had an 8-4 record and was in first place in the AFC East — the 49ers put on an impressive offensive performance for a 24-14 win. They controlled the ball, the clock and the game. The 49ers dominated time of possession. They converted 53 percent of their third downs. And they more than doubled the Jets' offensive output.
Most impressive, the 49ers did it despite having their most dangerous offensive weapon, Frank Gore, sidelined with a sprained ankle for almost the entire second half.
Once again, it was a testament to Hill's ability to make plays, keep his team moving and avoid crucial mistakes. He got the legend's notice.
"I thought he played great," Favre said.
When asked what stood out about Hill's performance, Favre said:
"He won. There ain't but one stat that matters."
The victory pushed Hill's record as a starter at Candlestick to 4-0. And, in addition to the mandatory question about Coach Mike Singletary's future, add the one about Hill's future as the team's starter.
Is Hill proving he can and should be the team's starter next year, while the 49ers ponder how to address their long-term needs at quarterback?
The 49ers owners and management have done such a poor job of evaluating talent and making decisions that we can't really trust them to do an overhaul correctly. So with both Singletary and Hill blossoming before our eyes, it seems as if the 49ers would be better playing the hand they've unintentionally dealt themselves. We can't assume team management is competent enough to find better replacements.
Hill — who was 28 of 39 for 285 yards, two touchdowns and one interception — had a 98.8 quarterback rating Sunday. He now has seven games with a passer rating higher than 95.0. So can 49ers fans start buying No. 13 Hill jerseys with the assurance they'll still be fashionable next year?
There weren't many — or maybe even any — Hill jerseys at Candlestick on Sunday. But there were thousands of people dressed in Favre's No. 4, the Packers' version and the newly minted New York Jets' style.
Early in the game, it looked as if Favre would work his magic at the 'Stick once again. He came in with an 11-1 record against the 49ers, 5-1 in San Francisco. The one loss was the Steve Young-to-Terrell Owens victory in the playoffs.
In the second quarter, with the benefit of good field position, Favre led his team on a scoring drive. On second-and-goal from the 2, Favre ran the ball in for a touchdown. In 270 games, Favre has passed for 462 touchdowns and run for just 13. That was only his second rushing touchdown in seven years.
But the Favre touch wasn't entirely there Sunday. When the Jets had the ball they ran an offense as baffling as the Raiders: short pass, run, 45-yard incomplete bomb.
Then again, New York rarely had the ball. In an interesting turn of events Favre spent long stretches standing on the sideline watching Hill play. The 49ers controlled the ball for twice as long as the Jets. They mounted scoring drives of 14, 12 and 10 plays.
Hill's one glaring error came in the second half when his pass intended for Isaac Bruce landed in the arms of linebacker David Bowens.
"It was just sitting there for the guy as a gift," Hill said, adding that Jets linebacker Eric Barton said he wanted one, too.
"I don't want to give out anymore," Hill said.
He didn't. He came back on the 49ers' next possession and led the team on a touchdown drive. With every passing week, Hill shows his composure and ability to avoid getting rattled.
On Sunday, he got a vote of confidence from the NFL's reigning legend.
He's proving he deserves one from his bosses.

There are few things more unsightly than rusty tear stains marring the appearance of an otherwise beautifully groomed Havanese. This will of course be most noticeable on white and other light coloured Havanese and less visible, though no less of an issue, on a Havanese with a dark face. The stains are not the only problem, you should take note of tearing and/or eye discharge regardless of the colour of your Havanese. There are a number of reasons for eye discharge and excessive tearing and the unattractive stains that may result.
Excessive tearing, blocked tear ducts, acidity or pH of the tears, bacterial or yeast infections, genetics, teething, irritation, allergies, hair in the eyes, environment (smoke and other pollutants), shampoo and chemicals, diet, food allergy or intolerance are all potential culprits. Camouflaging the stains is a popular option, but in truth, understanding the causes, prevention. and controlling the tear staining are more important than simply covering up. Removing or camouflaging the stains is temporary at best as the stains will reoccur unless the source of the staining is removed.
Getting a health checkup is the first step. If the cause is a problem such as a blocked duct or an infection, veterinary interventions like surgery , treatment or medication may be necessary. Once you are sure that your Havanese is healthy, the next step is to eliminate the likeliest causes from the environment, water and diet. Ensure that there is no hair curling into the eyes to cause irritation. A tiny bit of trimming at the inner corner of the eyes may help (but as growth occurs after cutting, hair will irritate the eyes) as will keeping the facial hair out of the eyes, by keeping it brushed back or fastened with tiny elastics, barrettes, clips or a topknot.
In the environment try to limit the use of things like heavy air fresheners, carpet powders and other chemical products. Vacuum well and rinse well where any chemicals have been used.
Water - In many areas, tap and well water may have a high mineral content. The impurities in the water may cause tear staining of the face and beard. If this is the case, a very simple and inexpensive solution is to use bottled, filtered or distilled water for your Havanese. A difference may be noted in as little as 10 days though it may take up to 3 months for optimal improvement.
Food - Additives, preservatives and food colourings found in many dog foods and treats can be significant factors tear staining. Certain spices, flavourings and ingredients may be culprits, such as basted and flavoured rawhide and bones. Not only do they stain the face and beard but also any areas of fur that they come in contact with, as well light coloured carpets! Missing ingredients may also be contributing factors. Use the best quality food you can afford. For some Havanese, something as simple as an Essential Fatty Acid supplement can make a significant difference.
By simply removing some of these causative factors, you may significantly minimize or eliminate much of the tearing and facial staining. Though getting rid of the cause is the best way to control the problem, you may still want and need to remove or cover up the stains that are already there.
There are several options for dietary supplementation which may help minimize tearing and staining. If a pH imbalance is suspected, these may help the problem from the inside. A calcium supplement such as Tums (Calcium Carbonate) may significantly alter the pH of the tears which in turn will be less hospitable for the growth of bacteria and yeast. Another choice is to give an apple cider vinegar supplement. Vitamin C is another popular remedy purported to prevent beard staining as are Fatty Acid Supplements, parsley and Zinc. It is a good idea to check with your Veterinarian before starting any supplements as they are not right for all dogs and also to confirm correct dosing.
Until you can find and eliminate the cause of the tearing and staining, you may wish to use some temporary measures to keep your Havanese looking great. Daily cleansing of the area with a soft washcloth is essential in removing any accumulated debris around the eyes and beard. Using saline eye drops is safe and gentle and will help wash out any irritants. Many products available from groomers, pet supply stores and catalogues such as 'Diamond Eye' or 'Eye Envy' can be used to remove stains from facial hair as well as creams, chalks and powders used to cover up the stains temporarily or to protect the hair. Popular homemade remedies include mixtures of Hydrogen peroxide, milk of magnesia, corn starch , and conditioners.
Use extreme care when using any of these commercial or home made products to ensure that nothing gets in your Havanese's eyes which could cause further irritation or injury. Always use mineral Oil drops or ointment in the dogs eyes for protection. It is also important to remember that many of these stain removal methods are quite harsh and drying/damaging to the hair. Be sure to condition the area during and well after any treatments with a deep conditioner.

We are excited to announce this year's Golden Reads selection. Mayor Marjorie Sloan has picked Long Man by Amy Greene.
Long Man tells the story of Yuneetah, Tenn., a small town about to be flooded by a Tennessee Valley Authority dam project. When three-year-old Gracie Dodson goes missing, the handful of remaining residents race against the rising water to find her, at the same time struggling with the gradual erasure of their home. Greene blends historical fiction and suspense with poetic meditations on the landscape and traditions of Appalachia.
We're hosting an author visit with Amy Greene in September, featuring local food trucks (including Still Smokin Fusion BBQ and the Bakin' Bakery) before the reading and book signing. Get tickets and take a trip to hill country at Golden Reads.
It's not too late to participate in the Golden Library remodel. We'll continue to use suggestions from the community to shape the direction of the design. Stay informed during the remodel by checking jeffcolibrary.org/goldenremodel and by dropping questions into the comment box inside the Golden Library.
We are fortunate to have many people from the community provide input into the remodel. From May 19 through June 9 Golden residents shared their ideas at community meetings and through online and paper surveys. During those conversations a few common themes emerged:
Residents use the library to
They like and value
They hope to see
You may be asking yourself "How is the library using all of this rich input?" These ideas were distilled into a preliminary floor plan and design concepts previewed at the June 6 community meeting. Elements of the preliminary design included:
Keep your ideas flowing and stop by the Golden Library to let us know what questions you have about the remodel.
It's gone to the dogs at the Golden Library...just not in the way you're thinking. We are continuing our popular PAWS for Reading program through the end of the year.
If you haven't heard about this fun and rewarding program, read on.
We've joined with the Pet Partners, who provide an animal therapy program that brings in four-legged friends for children to read to. Dogs are the perfect reading companions, creating a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment to share stories. Bring in the kids for a unique and meaningful experience.
Registration is required at the Children's Information Desk. Children must be able to read on their own.
Geo what? That's pretty much my reaction when I first heard we were going to be hosting this event. But, now that I'm familiar with the concept, I can't wait to learn more.
Is geocaching a foreign concept to you too? Allow me to explain. It's outdoor treasure hunting meets hide and seek…for the modern world. You use GPS to find hidden containers filled with a logbook and other small items, make your mark and replace the container for the next treasure hunter to find.
Want to find out more? We'll have geocaching expert Phyllis McGuire at the Golden Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 28, to give a presentation on this fun activity and discuss earth caching…you'll have to come to find out what that is!
Goooooold! More than 150 years after Colorado's famous gold rush, people are still fascinated with finding gold in the hills outside Denver. And wouldn't you know it, there's still gold to be found. What? How? Where?
If you've had a hankering to start prospecting, but weren't sure how, Gold Prospectors of the Rockies will be at the Golden Library at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 3, to give you the low down. They will present a short history and overview of gold prospecting in Colorado, followed by a demonstration of what equipment is needed to do it yourself, how it works, starting costs and prospecting sites.
Bring your questions!
Missed out on the Open House at the Golden Library regarding our upcoming remodel, but still want to share your thoughts? Not to worry, you still have a chance to give your input on what'd you'd like to see from us...and what you don't want to see. We're looking to the community to tell us about the library services you value, and to help define the look and feel of the remodel design.
You can still take our survey through the City's Golden Vision Community Forum. You'll need to create an account, but it's as easy as 1-2-3. This networking tool will give you the opportunity to weigh in on the Golden Library Remodel, as well as other community projects, and to hear what others are thinking.
Thanks for your input - we're excited to see what the community has to say! We will be hosting a design feedback session from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Friday, June 6 to get your thoughts on design options.

While basketball camps seem to dominate the landscape at this time of year, it was baseball that got top billing last week at the Bullitt East Baseball Camp which was run under the direction of Charger head coach Jeff Bowles.This was the first year for the event, but it drew almost 100 players to the morning and afternoon sessions.The three-day camp was conducted at the Mount Washington Youth Baseball and Softball facility at Mount Washington Elementary School.
There was a heavy emphasis on fundamentals as players were taught about base running, hitting, fielding and throwing.

Kim Kardashian Bans Family From Mentioning Reggie Bush in Front of Kanye West?
Kim Kardashian has reportedly asked her family not to mention her ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush in front of her husband Kanye West, out of respect for the rapper.
The E! star, 33, dated the Detroit Lions running back, 29, for two years, however, they split in 2010 and she moved on to her now ex-husband Kris Humphries. West is reportedly "jealous" of the bond the exes once shared so in order to avoid problems, Kardashian is going to great lengths to ensure Bush is never mentioned in his presence.
"Kim went out of her way to avoid reading about Reggie's wedding to Lilit last weekend," an insider told RadarOnline.com. "She doesn't like to discuss Reggie, not even with her sisters. And Kim did remind her family to not mention Reggie's name in front of Kanye, because he is very jealous of him."
Kardashian and West wed in a lavish ceremony on May 24 and Bush married professional dancer Lilit Avagyan last week.
While the reality star and NFL star appear to have moved on from one another, West, 37, reportedly thinks Bush still has a soft spot for Kardashian.
"There have been numerous assurances by Kim that Kanye has nothing to be jealous of, but there is always an argument when his name comes up," the source said. "Kanye thinks that Reggie is still in love with Kim because he married a woman that looks exactly like her. And honestly, that isn't lost on Kim either."
This is not the first time that the "Yeezus" rapper has been made to feel uncomfortable about Kardashian's past.
In 2012 he reportedly got upset at friends after they began mocking the mother of one's infamous sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Ray J.
"When some of his buddies were teasing him about it over a few beers just recently, he went crazy and told them in no uncertain terms that the subject was completely off limits," a source told OK! Magazine at the time.
"At first they thought he was joking, but he was deadly serious. Kanye never, ever wants to see the tape, and he has banned anyone in his entourage from even talking about it," the insider explained.

AUSTRIA'S GERBAUTZ & WIPPEL FAMILYUpdated March 25, 2009
This is for my Grand children and for generations to come. For many years I have wondered about my family history, as we all have. Well one day I asked my mother if she would like to go to Austria with me and see family that she had only seen once in 1970. I met Great Aunts and cousins I didn't even know that I had. I loved the village they grew up in and to see the houses they were born in. The Wippel house was built in 1642 and has been in the Wippel family since 1648 to this day. I also managed to get pictures from the relatives of my Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather. I went to the town hall and asked if I could find copies of birth certificates and they brought this huge book out the size of a desk with the brown edges. I couldn't believe my eyes. They asked me the year (1899) and there was the original birth registry of my mother and both of her parents as well as the names of their parents. I proceeded across the street and there was a monument for the WWI veterans and my Great Grandfathers name was on it with the year he died. I can't wait to go back look for more information and to see my new found relatives.

YOUR MONEY; Retirement Contrarian Says Wait
By DAMON DARLIN
Published: May 12, 2007
Come retirement, it will finally be time to get back the money that has been extracted from your paycheck your entire working life.
Indeed, requesting your Social Security benefits might seem like the first order of business as soon as the going-away party is over. But you might be a lot better off waiting a bit longer, until age 66 or even 70 before tapping into the government retirement fund. Relying at first on other savings like individual retirement accounts or the 401(k) from work could raise your living standard in retirement as much as 10 percent, according to calculations made by Laurence J. Kotlikoff, an economics professor at Boston University.
This is unconventional advice as Mr. Kotlikoff is the first to acknowledge. But Mr. Kotlikoff, 56, who has been studying savings his entire career, thinks that much of what passes for financial advice is merely conventional wisdom.
As noted here, he has annoyed the financial planning industry with his research that suggests that the calculators used to forecast retirement needs overstate the amount that must be saved.
He also says that the elderly should be investing more heavily in equities rather than bonds, as most planners advise. ''There is almost nothing that you can tell me about conventional financial advice that makes any sense,'' he said.
There are many skeptics.
Margaret H. Smith, an assistant economics professor at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., and a financial planner, thinks that a decision about when to take Social Security should not be coupled with other retirement funds. ''It all depends on how long you live,'' she said. As with many planners, she thinks tax-advantaged accounts, like 401(k)s or Roth I.R.A.s should be left to accumulate as long as possible.
''If they can afford to take it at a later date because they have other sources of income, that's good, but the lion's share of people need every penny they can get,'' said Chad Terry, the director for retirement solutions at the Principal Financial Group, a financial services company based in Des Moines.
But there are some compelling financial reasons to at least hear Mr. Kotlikoff out. The average retirement age is now 62, not 65. Indeed, only 27 percent of Americans retire at age 65 or later, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
The early retirement might be a direct result of the early availability of the payments. But delaying retirement can make a big difference financially. The Fidelity Research Institute did a study (www.fidelityresearchinstitute.com/pdf/Beyond--Conventional--Wisdom.pdf) last year showing how advantageous a delayed retirement is. It used an example of a 55-year-old making $75,000. Upon retirement at 62, he would get $15,888 in Social Security. If retirement was postponed until 66, the amount would rise to $21,768. A further delay to age 70 would yield an annual benefit of $29, 436.
There is a similar effect for those who choose to stop working at 62, but don't tap Social Security until later. Instead of payments of $15,888, the retiree who waits until 66 receives $21,181 a year in benefits and one who delays until 70 receives a $28,821 annual stipend, or 81 percent more, the Fidelity Research Institute said. There is no additional financial benefit to delaying past 70.
So why don't more people delay taking their Social Security? Some may not know how benefits accrue. It is also possible that they figure they will die in only a few years. If that is the case, grabbing benefits early makes sense, but study after study shows Americans tend to underestimate their longevity -- one reason financial planners urge people to save more.
A foreboding that Social Security will not be around may be another reason Americans act early. Research by Hugo A. Ben?z-Silva, Debra Sabatini Dwyer and Warren C. Sanderson at the State University of New York at Stony Brook found that the fear among Americans that future benefits might not be there drives many retirees to take benefits as soon as they are available. Researchers at the RAND Corporation are studying this issue to find ways to encourage Americans to consider delaying retirement or deferring benefit payments.
Mr. Kotlikoff points out that because Social Security accounts increase at the rate of 7 percent a year from age 62 to 66 and then at 8 percent a year until age 70, retirees get a better return there than they might get on the bonds inside their I.R.A.s. ''That's a safe real return of 7 percent or 8 percent,'' he said. ''You can't get anything close to that in the market.''
The tax implications of raiding Social Security first does not matter much for the wealthy, but for everyone else it might. Social Security income is tax- free for an individual with a total income of less than $25,000 ($32,000 for a couple filing jointly). As income rises, the share of benefits subject to tax rises to 50 percent and then 85 percent.
Here is the troublesome part and it will sound familiar to anyone who has been hit with the federal alternative minimum tax on their income: the tax on Social Security benefits is not indexed for inflation. As with the alternative tax, an increasing number of people will be subject to the benefits tax and pay more to the government than they need to. ''There are a lot of taxes on Social Security benefits, if you don't do this correctly,'' Mr. Kotlikoff said.

Even though they don't hit the wallet as hard as mainstream triple A titles, a lot of people don't like to take a chance on indie gaming. Fortunately www.thefreebundle.com is offering a collection of indie titles for absolutely free, so let's not let this chance go unfulfilled and check out the games on offer. Remember, all the games are absolutely FREE so if the reviews aren't especially positive don't take that as any reason not to give them a whirl.
Already a large portion of the indie checklist can be ticked off with this one as it's an 8-bit NES style side scroller platform game. From the title you would maybe expect some Ninja Gaiden or Strider like wall jumping sword slashing action but the gameplay is actually a jump n' shoot Mega Man style platformer. There's really nothing to comment on in terms of detailed gameplay mechanics, you jump, you shoot, the only real expansion on Mega Man is a secondary jump and general increase of speed which does make the game a lot more orientated on dodging stuff as a result. Actually, Ninja Senki doesn't even have the level select or boss weapons from Mega Man so it's even simpler than that.
But it has to be said Ninja Senki does sport some incredibly strong level design, which is especially appropriate considering its Mega Man inspiration. Every enemy, obstacle and ability you have is demonstrated to you in a controlled environment before you're expected to handle it in a real situation. There are coins scattered around the levels, although mostly pointless other than gaining a high score and occasionally earning extra lives, serve as a clever method to lead the player into certain paths and show what they're capable of.
The game has a great sense of flow, the kind of gameplay that feels constantly moving but at the same time rewards patience and skill. It has to say though, this is a game rooted in its 8-bit inspiration. The graphics and sound are obviously distinctively retro but neither really stands out more than that, so this is strictly one for the hardcore fans of old school platformers and no-one else. A fun little distraction, consider it a B+
This one also falls under the retro style platformer, and going from Ninja Senki to Celestial Mechanica is like watching Inglorious Basterds then watching some Neo Nazi college recruitment movie. There's not necessarily any less effort but it certainly feels unfinished by comparison and it's probably a lot more evil.
The big problem with it is the game has instant screen transitions, and jumping too high (which happens regularly) causes you to enter another screen and it's very disorientating. A game this simple shouldn't cause you to get lost so easily, but with the screen switching around constantly and the lifelessness of the platforms and backgrounds you lose your bearings really quickly. This alone makes the game near unplayable for any significant period of time; this one needs some extra work before it's ready for primetime.
Created with the RPG Maker software, this is a translated version of Japanese survival horror story. There's generally not much wrong with the translation itself, but you could be forgiven for rage quitting the game instantly because of the dialogue. The story is set in Germany, but everyone talks in that Japanese view of how people spoke in Victorian England, which never sounds authentic because they never use the best English words like "flange" or "minge" or "gash" or "vagina" or…sorry I got distracted.
The story has you playing as a little girl looking for her father in a creepy mansion filled with zombies and other weird creatures, the catch is that all these monsters want her father dead because he's screwed in the head and killed them all in his "experiments". That might sound like spoilers but it's really not, the big issue is Mad Father plays all its cards far too early and there's little suspense to any of the events that play out. There's not really any twist to it either, it pretty much all plays out how you would expect, it attempts to have sort of a twist at the end but it doesn't work because it's just a slight variation of how you would assume the game would end.
Aside from the odd creepy moment here and there, Mad Father probably has more appeal to point n' click adventure games than survival horror fans. The puzzle bits are simple and rarely stop the game for too long, there's not much more to the puzzles other than find the thing and bring it to the other thing, but most of it works. There is a bit of dumb designer logic that ruins some of the later parts of the game, you get a mini chainsaw as an item to break certain barrels, and NOTHING else. There's no explanation for why the chainsaw couldn't be used to solve other puzzles or be used on enemies but you can't because…you can't. The worst example of this is a bit where you need something in a pot (a POT, not a barrel, a POT which is totally different) and you have to find a hammer to smash it for a meaningless way to extend the playtime.
Fans of horror who can stomach the rough around the edges translation of the dialogue will probably see it through to the end. There are three endings and all of them are pretty dumb, and to get the true ending you need to make sure you've done some stupid and arbitrary thing that you may as well look up before you start playing as you'll hate your life when you miss it. Overall, Mad Father was an interesting and mostly non-frustrating use of a couple of hours that could have been a lot better had the story been paced a bit more competently.
More indie reviews to come soon!

Tulo, Giambi nearing return to Majors
Tulo, Giambi nearing return to Majors
"The plan moving forward is for them to play tonight," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said before Monday's series opener against the Dodgers. "They'll be here in Denver tomorrow to be re-evaluated physically and see how they're doing. If everything checks out, then the plan moving forward would be to send them to [Triple-A] Colorado Springs on Wednesday and play a couple days there."
Tulowitzki has been recovering from groin surgery since May 30, and Giambi has been on the DL with a viral infection since July 21. In two games each in Double-A, Tulo is 1-for-6 with a double and an RBI, and Giambi is 1-for-4 with an RBI.
With the 25-man rosters expanding to as many as 40 on Saturday, both players will probably wait until at least that date to avoid additional roster moves.
"I think there's a strong likelihood that we would not do anything prior to Saturday, but I can't sit here and say definitely that Saturday is the target date for either one of those two guys," Tracy said. "At some point in time I am very hopeful of that."
Tulowitzki has missed 77 games heading into Monday, and the chance to return for a full September is valuable on a couple of fronts.
"Peace of mind as far as Tulo's concerned, so that between now and the fourth of October, he goes home knowing that everything's OK, that hopefully he gets a good feel physically as to where he's at, that he knows everything's in place," Tracy said.
A second reason is that, in Tulowitzki's absence, Josh Rutledge has emerged as a top rookie shortstop, hitting .338 with seven homers and 25 RBIs in 37 games. He's already penciled in as the Rockies' second baseman of the future, and the Rockies are eager to see Tulowitzki and Rutledge together on the big league stage this season.
"The opportunity to play together in the middle [of the infield] instead of it being in a less stressful environment beginning in Spring Training, it's much more important that we get them involved out here in Major League game-type situations, which -- fingers crossed -- hopefully we'll have an opportunity to do," Tracy said.
Rutledge has been nursing a tight quad and has been limited to pinch-hit appearances of late. He is available for a double-switch situation Monday.

It's really hard to find brown mascara in markets where i live, i mostly use brown liners & mascara as it fits my complexion more than blacks.
This one i got from france & it was really a good experience.
Rich color & great brush too (i prefer somehow thick brushes). It also satisfy me in regards to lengthening & thickening.
Not the best mascara but definitely v.good one, specially if you like brown ones.
One bad thing, after some time the brush plastic cover got broken, so i had to use it without its cover & put it back again.

I ordered 2 colors directly from Kiko in Italy. The brown one is nice and behaves like a regular cheap drugstore mascara. No spectacular definition, no lengthening.
The green one is completely dried out and useless. As I decided to only use higher level mascara, I have thrown them away.
Wouldn't recommend it. I am disappointed.

Love this! I have shade 05 which is a gorgeous burgundy and I wear it almost every day. The colour payoff is fantastic in this particular shade, but I cannot speak to any others as I haven't tried them. My natural lashes are quite dark brown and the burgundy colour is quite uniform on my lashes, unlike others I have tried where you only see the colour at the tips.
Unfortunately this cannot be purchased in North America but I get them sent to me from Germany. Absolutely worth it if you can find someone willing to send it to you!
This shade really brings my eye colour out (green/blue) without being too flashy. I also brought a lighter shade back for a friend which I believe was 10 for a friend who is very fair with red hair and it is perfect for her. It is a warm champagne colour and is perfect for darkening her lashes without being too harsh.
I took a point off for the wand. I find it to be too thick on the end where I think it would benefit from being tapered. A lot of mascara also collects at the tip when you remove the wand which I don't like. However, it's not enough to make me stop using it.
It wears great, I have never had any problems with flaking, smearing etc. and removes as easily as you could want.
I am impressed by the quality for the price, I believe I payed 3 euro in Italy and as mentioned above I have had someone get it for me in Germany. A total steal.
Try it! You will be impressed. I wish more companies made such pigmented coloured mascaras :)

I like a lot these mascaras! I have 01 violet and 05 plum and they are sooo nice. I love the color they leave on my lids. The only con I find is that when you try to remove them, you end up with a red shade around your eyes, like a tint, and it lasts some time.

This won the worst mascara award from my side.
Firstly the color is amazing and as the name states super. But as soon as I tried it on my lashes, it made no effect whatsoever.
My lashes are naturally long, but not curled. And this mascara didn't do much to my natural lash line. After multiple coats it finally gave some color, but then again it looked weird since it applies chalky on the lashes.
The texture is very bad and I guess you can say I wasted my money! There is a good review (in-depth) on some Kiko products. Worth reading before you guys invest! Link below

The answer to yesterday's question as to what I did differently than usual in my art for the parody of "The Following" in MAD #525 is that I did the entire thing digitally. No pencils, no pens, no ink, no paper. Start to finish on the computer.
It was an interesting experiment, but I will never do it again.
I'd been thinking of giving this a try for a while now, just to see how it turned out and to see if it was a time saver of any kind. In this particular case I was a bit behind on getting the project done and I thought this might be a good time to see if doing all the drawing and inking digitally made the job go faster. I experimented with some different setting with the tools in Photoshop, including using some Ray Frenden digital ink tools. Eventually I just used a paintbrush with opacity set to 100% and pressure sensitivity only for brush size.
My verdict is a gigantic meh. While the end results were satisfactory so far as they went, I felt like much of the life and warmth of the lines were missing from the finals. The benefits of being able to zoom in to microscopic levels for detail, not needing to be concerned with the physical limitations of inks and the surface of the paper, no erasing, etc. where outweighed by the general stiffness of the results. I think the lines lack crispness. The tapers at the ends are dulled and rounded. It just looks thick and heavy to me. Don't write me telling me to try Manga Studio either, much of the problem is rooted in the digital conversion of hand movements and pressure, and that's a hardware issue. More truthfully, it's a wetware issue… my brain just not wanting to work that way.
Here are some close ups of some area (Clicky to embiggen):
And these are the "pencils":
It actually took longer than doing it the traditional way. Too much detail, too easy to get caught up in the little stuff. Finally, with my luck I'll be getting a call from Kevin Bacon this week offering to buy the original art for a million dollars.
No, I don't think digital inking is for me. I'm already back to the brush, nib and inks.
EDIT: Based on the comments both public and private I've gotten already, I think some people have gotten the idea that I am condemning digital inking as a worthless enterprise. That's ridiculous, and very far from the truth. I have seen some incredible digital inkers and artists, and I have as much respect for their work as I do for anyone who works the old-fashioned way. As always, it's all about the final results. I don't care how you do what you do, if your work is good then it's good. Who cares if you do it with paint or pixels?
All I am saying here is that I've tried it and it's not for me. More power to you if it's your medium of choice.

Diving Rheola Lakes, Glynneath
Hearing about a new dive site through YD, it being cheaper (£5) and closer (well for Simon) than the NDAC we decided to head down to check it out. The site is north of Neath on the A465 and is an easy drive from the M4. The site is run by Steve of Quest Marine (site details on link).
There are two lakes at the site, one for powerboating and one for quieter activities (such as diving!).  Parking is right up against the water and for the entire day we were the only two divers there . The smaller lake isn't huge but an ok size for a smaller number of divers. There's toilets at the site but not much else, although there's a burger van a short drive back to the entrance to the site and a place you can buy junk food just around the corner.
The lakes were created as they were dug out for rock to build the heads of the valleys road and have naturally filled up over time, due to that there's no fish life although plenty of plants. Adding some fish would be quite nice and would draw in some additional money from fishermen, although there were some kids fishing the bigger lake so I guess that there's probably some in there.
The water was very clear with a good 5-6m visibility, although if you knocked the bottom lots of suspended matter was sent upwards and took a while to settle. The suspended matter was much preferrable to the black dust knocked up if you find a patch without plants. I did this to test what it was like but forgot to take some video to demonstrate
We were told that the max depth was 12m with the lake sloping down in 2m steps but we reached a max of 10.8metres. After about 20 minutes (+ 1 golf ball) we both got a bit bored of the site but pushed the dive to 40 minutes. The second dive we went in with a plan and did several run times with stops at 9m, 6m, and 3m both up and down.
In summary, a good cheap site at £5, not much depth but good for practice. I wouldn't go for a pleasure dive, there needs to be a purpose, maybe if the site develops a few objects would go in but I don't know what the owners plans are there!

(Boston, Massachusetts) Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry has changed his name to "John F. Kohn", saying that he wishes to both acknowledge his Jewish roots, and also convince wavering Jewish voters that "their rightful home is still in the Democratic Party."
Kerry/Kohn, whose paternal grandfather, Fritz Kohn, was a Jewish emigrant from Central Europe who converted away from Judaism and changed his name to Frederick Kerry, said he has "an appointment to discuss Kabbala with Madonna" tonight, and will be "having bagels with Joe Lieberman on Sunday morning."
Next Wednesday, Kohn will undergo a formal re-circumcision by a mohel (ritual Jewish circumciser) on national TV. "This will confirm once and for all that I have a Purple Heart on," Kerry/Kohn was apparently heard to say.
Learning of the news, Vice President Dick Cheney pointedly inquired whether Kerry would be "throwing the foreskin over the fence at the White House."
Barbara Walters, herself Jewish, will conduct a breathless, fawning interview with the foreskin on a TV special to be called "Inside Tip."
While Kerry's Senate record clearly shows him to have been one of Israel's strongest supporters, polls have shown that the traditional Jewish alliance with the Democratic Party has in recent months weakened substantially, as some Jewish voters perceive George W. Bush to be arguably the most pro-Israel president in history. Recent polls have suggested that as many as 37% of Jewish voters favor Bush, whereas statistical studies suggested that under 10% voted for him in 2000. However, this latest development from the Kerry/Kohn camp will almost certainly change many pre-election trends.
Already, polls conducted in Dearborn, Michigan and along Brooklyn, New York's Atlantic Avenue demonstrated that respondents now favor Bush over Kohn by a margin of 100-0. A Zogby poll also revealed that only 39% of voters now consider Kerry "lugubrious", while his overall cadaverousness rating continued to hover in the low forties.
In what may be a related development, a team of orthodox rabbis was summoned to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as the H.J. Heinz company was said to be considering a special "58th variety" of ketchup.
In the meantime, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has called for President George W. Bush to undergo "circumcision by blunt knife and without anesthesia", because of his "general Bushhood, rampant Bushery, and ongoing campaign of unabashed Bushification."
"There was a traffic jam on Ventura Boulevard yesterday," said Waters, "and I blame the President for it."

How can I manually create a WordPress Export File – my dashboard is corrupted
I recently upgraded to 3.0.1 without problems. Shortly after, I was blogging late one night and somehow broke my blog's backend. I have no idea how. Of course, I have no backup.
The front-end appears just fine, however, the back-end is causing me a lot of problems. When I log into my blog's dashboard some dashboard pages work just fine (e.g. the whole 'Settings' section), some areas report an Error 500 message (e.g. 'Media' section) and some pages are completely blank (e.g. 'Upload New Media').
So, after much trying, head scratching and swearing I figured I couldn't fix it; the repair was beyond my skills. But, because the front-end was behaving I thought there must be a way to export into a new blog.
Much searching later and the only way I can find to export my blog is by using the 'Export' function in the dashboard, however, this is one page that is blank (i.e. when I select the Export menu nothing whatsoever appears on screen). To add salt to the wounds the main 'Tools' sections displays just fine as does the 'Import' page.
So, here's my question. If I can't use my dashboard to export my blog is there another way? Does anyone have any idea how I can 'scrape' my blog (maybe using the RSS feed) and turn it into an (.wrx) .xml that I can import into another WordPress set up.
FYI – blog URL is http://jamesbliss.com/blog
Thanks in advance.

Many, many moths | Scotorythra paludicola are feasting on Koa
HILO — East Hawaii's precious koa trees are under siege.
"The trees, they were all brown. There's no leaves. They're dead," said a man who called the Tribune-Herald on Thursday afternoon. He was driving over Saddle Road, at about mile marker 13, when he came upon the scene of the crime.
Scotorythra paludicola, also known as the koa moth, is a native insect that usually manages to find an equilibrium with the environment, says University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources Extension forester J.B. Friday. But this year, for mysterious reasons, the moth is breeding like wildfire, defoliating koa trees throughout the Hilo and Hamakua regions, up to elevations of 3,700 feet.
"There was an outbreak in late December, early January, along the Hamakua Coast from Saddle Road to Ookala and Kukaiau (Ranch)," he said. "It's pretty much completely defoliated the trees in the area. One hundred percent."
When the state Department of Land and Natural Resources' Division of Forestry and Wildlife first documented the outbreak, nearly 25,000 acres of koa had been defoliated, making it the largest koa defoliation ever recorded. Since then, the area affected has grown to "well over 30,000 acres," Friday said.
Luckily, he said, the damage looks much worse than it may actually be.
"You first see it and you think 'Oh my God, this is a disaster.' I know it's certainly concerning to see it. … When I first saw it, I practically fell out of my truck. It's shocking," Friday said. "But, it's important to note that the trees aren't dead. Certainly not now. Some of the smaller, weaker, more stressed trees, they may die, but the bigger, older ones, they should be OK."
The moths have continued to spread through the area since the start of the outbreak, largely unseen, he said. That is, until they hit Saddle Road. About three weeks ago, the moths reached the road, and have generated calls to the forestry office.
"You can see clouds of moths around the trees, on the ferns at the base of the trees," Friday said. "They like koa as long as there is koa, but apparently they will chew on other things, but we don't know if they can complete their life cycle if they eat other things."
Eventually, he said, either predators or a sheer depletion of their food sources causes outbreaks like this to end. Such outbreaks are a relatively regular occurrence on Maui, happening every 5 or 10 years. But here on the Big Island, there haven't been any koa moth outbreaks for 50 years.
"We have the largest areas of koa in the state, for sure," he said. "But it just doesn't happen here as often. We don't know why. It could be that we had a very dry December. It's a mystery."
According to a fact sheet prepared by the DLNR, koa moths are endemic to Hawaii, Maui and Oahu.
With a wingspan of between 1.5 and 2 inches, the moth varies in color from pale to dark brown. The larvae are referred to as "looper" caterpillars, referring to their typical "inchworm" movement. They start out tiny and black, but grow to about 1 inch long, and can vary in color and pattern, from gray to brown or green.
The caterpillar stage lasts about a month, followed by a pupation stage of 10-12 days. Adults live for weeks, are usually active at night, and are believed to lay their eggs under bark and in patches of moss on koa trunks. The full life cycle lasts about two months.
The first documented outbreak in Hawaii was in 1892, but oral accounts indicate older such incidents. The last outbreak on Hawaii Island was in the 1950s, while the most recent one in Maui was 2009.
"Healthy koa forests generally recover after defoliation by the koa moth, but mortality as high as 35 percent has been documented in forests under stress," reads the DLNR information sheet.
Friday said not much can be done about the current outbreak, except to observe and compile data.
"In the old days, they might have gone out there with a crop duster and dumped insecticide on it. But not now. Basically, we are tracking it."
The affected area is the largest of three regions on the island where koa grows. The others are in Ka'u, in the forest above Pahala, and Kona, at elevations above the coffee belt.
To report koa defoliation and increased caterpillar or moth abundance if observed outside of the Hilo and Hamakua regions, contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources at 587-0166, or email email@example.com.

Reality: The Denver Broncos are the 8th team to break the NFL scoring record during the regular season.
Perception: Believe it or not, none of the previous seven teams that broke the record went on to win the Super Bowl. There is a chance Denver could be the first, but it won't be easy. Their #1 offense is going up against the NFL's #1 defense.
Plus, the last team with the best record during the regular season to win the Super Bowl was the Patriots back in Super Bowl XXXVIII, 10 years ago. But both Seattle and Denver lead the league with 13 wins this year, so one of them has to win.
Reality: With the Cleveland Browns hiring Mike Pettine, there are now seven current NFL coaches who were once Ravens assistants.
Perception: The Ravens coaching tree is looking pretty good. The Browns is not. Pettine is the 5th head coach of the Browns since 2008. No other team in the AFC North has made a coaching change in that time. That said, I do think that Pettine will be successful in Cleveland… mainly because they have to give him at least three years. After firing Chud after just one season, Cleveland has to give this coach a chance. If not, they might never be able to get a coach to accept a job with them.
Reality: The Ravens could have an entirely new offensive coaching staff next season – with the exception of Juan Castillo.
Perception: The former Offensive Coordinator is now the Detroit Lions head coach. The Running Backs coach was let go. The Tight Ends coach won't return. The Wide Receiver coach may not come back. Castillo is the offensive line coach and will return. And it looks like the former Texans coaching staff is making the move to Baltimore. Gary Kubiak (former Texans head coach) is now the OC. Rick Dennison (former OC) is now the Quarterbacks coach. Brian Pariani (former Tight Ends coach) is likely to become the Tight Ends coach. Chick Harris (former RBs coach) may also move to the Ravens for the same position.
Reality: The Ravens have gone 16 seasons without ranking in the Top 10 in Total Offense (last time was 1997).
Perception: That is tied for the 5th-longest streak in NFL history. I think that streak however will come to an end. With Kubiak and his new staff, I really feel good about the direction of this offense. The players will buy into the system because it has been proven successful over the years. Kubiak is an excellent play-caller and he fits what the Ravens have in personnel. But it will be interesting to see how the Ravens are able to rebuild their offensive line. The Ravens have usually had bigger guys up front, but a lot of what Kubiak calls for requires the O-line to be more athletic.

We're getting near the end of Roland Foods week, and today we visit another nut oil. This recipe uses RolandⓇ Pistachio Oil. I knew I had some kale I wanted to use up, and I thought the pistachio oil would go great in an autumn pesto with a little of my favorite smoked salt.
Scroll down to enter today's giveaway of RolandⓇ Pistachio Oil.
I've started to get the roasting veggies bug again. It seems to start at this time of the year and go through spring. On Sunday I cut up a small acorn squash, about a pound of green beans and a few cups of sliced okra. I put each on its own baking sheet so each one could be pulled out at soon as it was ready.
I've made the mistake in the past of throwing caution to the wind by mixing in different veggies on one baking sheet and ended up with a few pieces of over-roasted veggies. I'd recommend trying this with all the root veggies that are in your future. You can toss them in pastas, on pizzas and even in soups or stews.
I'm a fan of this dish because it only dirties up one pot and a casserole dish. Plus, if you make the pesto and roasted veggies ahead of time it's a snap to throw together on a weeknight!
Kale Rosemary Pistachio Oil Pesto
- 2 cups chopped kale
- 1/4 cup parsley
- rosemary leaves from a 1-inch sprig
- 3 tablespoons RolandⓇ Pistachio Oil
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked salt
- Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until everything is combined and chopped fine, but not pureed.
Baked Kale Rosemary Pistachio Oil Pesto Pasta with Roasted Veggies
soy-free, gluten-free option
- 1/2 pound dry pasta
- 3 cups assorted roasted veggies
- entire recipe of Kale Rosemary Pistachio Oil Pesto (recipe above) - note you can use less if you want a milder flavor
- 1 (14.5 ounce can) crushed tomatoes (fire roasted or regular)
- 1 tablespoon agave
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Daiya vegan cheese, optional
- Preheat oven to 350 and oil a small casserole dish.
- Cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions and drain.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the optional Daiya to the warm pot that you used to cook the pasta.
- Dump in pasta and mix well.
- Spread mixture into casserole dish and sprinkle Daiya on top, if using.
- Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until everything is piping hot and the Daiya has melted.

Prof. Chodakiewicz reviews book on Katyn forest massacre
Prof. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz has recently published a review of Katyn: A Crime Without Punishment in the Polish-based historical journal Glaukopis. Co-edited by historians Cienciała, Lebedeva, and Materski, the work is a collection of translated Soviet documents pertaining to the Katyn Forest Massacre. This act of Soviet genocide - perpetrated in April/May 1940 - consumed the lives of approximately 22,000 members of prewar Poland's elite, including military and police officers, landowners, teachers, and entrepreneurs. The massacre was an element of an anti-Polish campaign conducted in cooperation with the Soviets' Nazi allies. Not surprisingly, as Cienciała notes, "the vast majority of captured Polish officers viewed the USSR as no better than Nazi Germany" (p. 27).
Cienciała argues that the decision to murder the Polish POWs was a callous case of political expediency. The Soviets had been waging a war of aggression against Finland since the winter of 1939/1940 and the camps had to be cleared of the Poles to make room for Finns. Prof. Chodakiewicz agrees, emphasizing the genocidal and classist aspect of the massacre.
He disagrees with the claim that Stalin may have initially kept the POWs alive, hoping to utilize them as leverage in his contacts with the Free Poles and the Western Allies. Such an interpretation disregards the main objectives of Soviet strategic doctrine during the period of Nazi-Bolshevik alliance (1939-1941). Stalin, Prof. Chodakiewicz explains, desired a replay of the First World War, wherein the two "imperialist" camps would fight a long and exhausting war of attrition. Once both sides became sufficiently weakened, the Soviets could "liberate" Europe. Polish POWs were not only expendable from Stalin's Marxist class struggle point of view, but indeed constituted a threat to the postwar incorporation of Poland into the USSR or the creation of a Sovietized Poland.

Emmer concedes
DELANO, Minn. -- Tom Emmer left the Minnesota governor's race at home, surrounded by family and leaving open the option of running for office again.
Emmer stood outside his Delano home in a sport coat, without gloves, this morning and said he would not take the election to court, adding that everyone needs to support Democrat Mark Dayton as he prepared to take office Jan. 3.
He was upbeat and frequently laughed as he read a statement and answered reporters' questions.
"There is no crying in politics," Emmer said.
Emmer said that he was proud of his campaign, and as a conservative came within 8,700 votes in a race few thought would be that close.
As his wife, Jacquie, and daughter, Katie, stood by his side -- and shed an occasional tear -- Emmer thanked his family and supporters for their 17 months of work on his campaign.
A dozen television cameras and twice that many reporters crowded into Emmer's front yard in near-zero weather this morning awaiting his announcement. Dayton planned a Capitol news conference this afternoon.
Emmer called the campaign "the best experience" of his life.
"We can be proud of what we accomplished," he said.
Emmer said that others still could challenge the election in court, but he would not. "I will not be involved."
Instead, he said that he may take Dayton up on his offer for lunch in the next few days.
"It is our job to make sure he can be the best possible governor he can be," Emmer said.
With Dayton leading the race by 8,720 votes following a statewide hand recount, Emmer already knew he could not win that way. But on Tuesday it became apparent he would have a difficult time winning an election lawsuit after the Minnesota Supreme Court released the reasoning behind a November ruling that went against Emmer. It all but eliminated grounds for an Emmer court challenge.

The big questions we seek to answer
IAST is dedicated to interdisciplinary research. However, most of our researchers have trained within a single disciplinary framework, from which they reach out in their work to researchers from other disciplines.
What they have in common is a dedication to exploring questions of central importance to human society in the 21st century.
The themes outlined here provide an indication of the kinds of question we believe represent some of the most fruitful areas of such interdiciplinary collaboration.
The list is not exhaustive and will evolve as we develop our own research, both individually and collectively. We welcome contributions to this evolving process from both our current community of researchers and those who would like to join us in the future.
