text: I was able to meet SandCinPA last Thursday night. We met in Wildwood at their invite at a local bar. C was quite nervous, but I could tell she was nervous and excited. I took her back to the room late-night and enjoyed her sexy body and tight pussy for an hour before filling her up. I'm already looking forward to meeting again and filling a few more fantasies (wink, wink)! Enjoy a few of the pics; debating if I should post a video too

"Exuberant, astute, and splendidly illustrated history of world art . . . draws fascinating parallels between artistic developments in Western and non-Western art."—Publishers Weekly
Bell's guidelines in writing this exuberant, astute and splendidly illustrated history of world art-spanning the cave paintings of Lascaux through contemporary artists such as Julie Mehretu-are threefold: every work is complemented by a reproduction, the narrative is chronological, and art is viewed as "a frame within which world history, in all its breadth, is continually reflected back at us." Bell (500 Self-Portraits; What Is Painting? Representation and Modern Art) is a renowned critic, artist, and professor of art history, and son of artist and critic Quentin Bell; he writes of his personal "pleasure" in creating and studying art. Bell draws fascinating parallels between artistic developments in Western and non-Western art: a discussion of Brancusi highlights the influence of West African carving on his work; one of Borromini's domes is juxtaposed with its near contemporary in the Masjid-e-Shah mosque in Isfahan. The survey is selective, presenting some typically overlooked works, but Bell trains his probing perspective on each. His conclusion is unpretentious: he advises readers to supplement his study with "finer-grained art histories" and to "get close to the work itself." Best, he says, is to make things oneself: "What happens in art is up to you." This unique study will appeal to anyone-from the generalist to the scholar-interested in a discriminating and perceptive history of world art. Illus. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Beautiful capture Bonnie! I know now why you wanted the dewdrops on the previous butterfly i commented on. Are they able to fly being covered with so much moisture?
Dennis, thank you for the comment; I think the butterflies have to wait until the dewdrops evaporate. The weight of the water makes it hard for them to fly. Sure makes for a captive subject for a photographer!

Mikkel Kessler vs. the following boxers (168-175). . .
Tavoris Cloud (175). I think this has FOTY written all over it. We almost got this fight earlier this year, but Cloud said he had to fight his mandatory; however, he conveniently got a "pass," and paid step aside money to fight Pascal. I like Kessler in this one due to his straighter shots, and better fundamentals. Kessler finally straightening that right hand back out, and using his left hook more. However, I could easily see Kessler getting stopped because Cloud prolly hits a little harder, and is just as durable. Kessler has also lost a little bit - he's not the guy who gave Calzaghe a good fight.
Edwin Rodriguez (168). I like Kessler in this one. While Rodriguez has the faster hands, is more fresh, and has comparable fundamentals, and boxing skills, he is just missing that component needed to beat a powerful guy, with a world class jab like Kessler. Think Kessler stops him late, or wins a 117-111 type decision.
Jean Pascal (175). I'm 50/50 on this fight. Pascal has the blend of speed, and power to hurt Kessler. If he fights like he did against Dawson, he'll outpoint Kessler, but if he fights the fight he did against Froch, I think Kessler catches him, and puts his lights out. It all comes down to Pascal's wheels - if he uses them, he wins, if he overcommits, and remains stationary for long enough each round, Kessler wins.
Add other boxers you'd like to see him fight from 168-175.

Nobody with a good right hand. I mentioned before the Green fight that I don't think he can see 100% out of his eye and bam he gets dropped early by someone who isn't known for their right hand. I think that's a big reason why he's fighting southpaw McGee next.
He might be able to outbox Cloud for a while because of his jab but he is a load for the weight and a workman type who isn't going to stop, that would be pretty tough. He might not have the speed to hurt Kessler with something he doesn't see but over time his size could be a factor. Pascal I think could TKO him because of the speed/power in his right hand. Edwin might be a little green to beat him, I think he would waste himself early trying to get Kessler to respect him and gas out late and Mikkel would TKO him going into the later rounds. Edwin would make it a good fight for TV tho
I'd want to see the winner of Bute/Froch rematch those are good events. or any other southpaw who might have a belt

General Category > Ingredients
Lactate Taste Threshold Experiment
(1/2) > >>
Last weekend I did a yeast handling presentation to Brew Free Or Die club members and I took the opportunity to conduct a lactate taste threshold experiment with 8 club members. While it had little to do with the topic of the technical session it is a subject where I wanted to do some experimentation for quite some time.
Acidulated malt and 88% lactic acid are very popular acids for mash pH correction but since lactic acid has a rather distinct taste the question that is on many brewer's minds is: "How much lactic acid is too much".
Since in most cases lactic acid is only added to counteract water alkalinity and bring the mash pH into the desirable range of 5.3-5.5 it can be assumed that the added lactic acid will not lead to a lower than normal beer pH. In other words, we don't have to worry about beers that taste sour. But we do have to worry about the characteristic taste of lactate. Lactate is what's left when lactic acid gives up its proton to neutralize a base or contribute to pH changes.
The experiment was designed such that the acidity of the lactic acid was neutralized with slaked lime. While that also adds calcium in addition to the lactate it matches brewing reality where highly alkaline waters oftentimes come with high calcium levels. I had the choice between calcium (from slaked lime) or sodium (from sodium hydroxide). Both calcium lactate and sodium lactate tasted very similar in water which shows that sodium doesn't necessarily lead to a salty taste. I decided to go with calcium lactate since calcium is generally the dominant cation in alkaline waters.
I was very surprised to see how many of the tasters struggled with identifying the flavor in the 4 sets of samples they were given (water, Bud Light, Budweiser and Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale). Even levels as high 1200 mg/l, which amounts to a whopping 23% acidulated malt, were not correctly identified by some tasters. Below is a link to a more formal write-up of the experiment and those interested can go ahead and check my numbers.
Here is a chart that shows for each taster the highest lactate level that was identified as tasting like the control:
After having done this experiment and having tasted samples with added lactate myself I think that a safe upper limit of 400 mg/l lactate or 7% acidulated malt is reasonable with the assumption that the mash and beer pH are at acceptable levels. While 7% is higher than the 5% that is currently seen as the safe upper limit for acidulated malt use it should be noted that there might be other benefits to reducing the amount of minerals in a given water before acidulated malt is used to neutralize the remaining alkalinity.
A formal write-up of the experiment can be found on the braukaiser.com wiki: Lactate Taste Threshold Experiment
Very interesting info, as always, Kai.
Thanks for publishing this Kai. I can be a bit less conservative in my use of acid malt having this data.
I read this in your blog this morning. Excellent work sir!
Thanks guys.
I also encourage others to try this experiment yourself. Preparing the lactate solution is fairly easy to do if you have a pH meter and pickling lime. And since you can easily correct by adding more of the un-neutralized lactic acid solution w/o changing the dilution you don't have to worry about overshooting the Ca(OH)2 additions.

Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear
Basic Black: Tales of Appropriate Fear
Written by: Terry Dowling
Published by: Ticonderoga Publications
Page Count: 366
Where to buy: Ticonderoga Publications, Amazon, and other fine book retailers.
Publisher's Comments:
The everyday and ordinary show an unexpected malignant side in this collection of 18 uniquely disturbing tales of the fantastic. Dowling grounds his tales in mundane situations, then pulls back slowly to reveal (as the narrator of "Scaring the Train" calls them) "those moments of incidental framing reality where every commonplace surprises you." In "Cheat Light," a roll of film left in a pawnshop camera reveals images of an otherworldly origin. "Clownette" tells of a peculiar blotch on a hotel wall that proves to be something much worse than the harmless mildew stain it's mistaken for. "Maze Man," whose protagonist is trapped in an invisible maze that only he cannot penetrate, is one of several stories in which architecture motifs suggest alternate realities encroaching on our own. This is Dowling's first U.S. collection after several in his native Australia, and the selection of stories new and old makes for one of the year's more satisfying dark fantasy reads.
Greetings to ill and sun-dried,
Today, I will be covering Terry Dowling's first-rate collection Basic Black. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on the book!
Signed in human blood,
Sean Lee Levin
Collections of short stories or novellas are often a mixed bag, with some stories being great, others mediocre, and some not worth the paper they're printed on. I am pleased to say that Basic Black maintains high quality throughout its 300+ pages. Australian author Terry Dowling has compiled eighteen creepy, mysterious, and colorful stories that span more than 20 years of his illustrious career (this edition was published in 2006, and two of the stories were originally published in 1985.) All of them are excellent, and make me want to seek out more of his work.
While all the stories are firmly in the horror genre, some have elements of other genres as well. "Downloading" features a private investigator, and therefore could be considered a mystery as well. "The Ichneumon and the Dormeuse" has science fiction elements. It's worth noting that "Downloading" is one of a few stories in here featuring Dowling's recurring character Dr. Daniel Truswell. The stories featuring "Dr. Dan" are some of the best in the collection (particularly the grotesque "Jenny Come to Play," which I think Tod Browning would enjoy,) and of all of Dowling's other work, the other Dr. Dan stories are the ones I'd like to read most.
Final Thoughts:
One of the best parts of being involved with this site is that I am exposed to cool books I may never have discovered otherwise. Basic Black is no exception, and it has certainly made me want to read more of Mr. Dowling's writing. His stories are imaginative and suspenseful, and are perfect for the short-story format. Bravo to Mr. Dowling for this terrific anthology, and I hope he continues to be successful in his career. I give this awesome collection five out five tentacles.

Aaron Katz is the director of the well reviewed ultra low budget indie drama Dance Party, USA (check out my review here, I enjoyed the flick). The movie recently started playing at the Pioneer Theater in New York City. I was able to ask Katz a few questions recently about his film work and some related topics during this e-mail interview:
Sujewa: Hey Aaron, I liked Dance Party, USA a lot. Since other recent interviews (GreenCine Daily's links for the movie) have talked a lot about the movie, I'll start off with a question about the movie that you just finished: Quiet City - what's that about?
Aaron: Quiet City is about a couple strangers, Charlie and Jamie, who meet and hang out in Brooklyn over the course of 24 hours. Jamie's supposed to be meeting her friend, but the friend never shows so she just keeps hanging out with Charlie. I'm excited about it. Cris and Erin, the two leads, were amazing to work with. They were both totally open.
Sujewa: And on to DPUSA; how did your $3,000 production budget break down? What did you spend what on? Also, how much did it cost for post-production? And for distribution so far (including fests & marketing for any theatrical, sending out screeners, etc.)? I think the cost of ultra-low budget indie film production & distribution going down due to DV is awesome.
Aaron: Well, we spent about $1200 getting everyone to Portland. Marc and Brendan (the two producers) and myself drove and everyone else flew in. We spent about $500 on equipment and tapestock. We had camera, sound, and a small lighting kit that we got for free, but we spent some money on some things from the department store. We got extension cords, some fluorescent fixtures and tubes that we put diffusion over to use as softlights, batteries, practical bulbs of varying types, and a few other things. I guess we spent a couple hundred on gas and a couple hundred on snacks. My dad made our meals though so we didn't pay for those. We did pay for beer to give to the people who let us shoot the party scene at their house. What does all that add up to? Is that $3000 yet? That's most of it anyway. As I've said in other interviews the big thing that made it possible was that it was a group effort. Everyone did what they could to scrap and scrape and figure out how to do it with what we had. In post I haven't kept track. It was never a lot of money at once, but I've definitely spent a few hundred. Postcard printing, festival submission fees, blank DVDs, things like that.
Sujewa: How is the "selling home made DVDs while screening your movie at fests & a theater (Pioneer in NYC)" going? I think what you are doing is a smart move for low-budget, self-distributed indies - opens up a path for some $s to come your way, kind of like indie rockers having their CD for sale while they tour.
Aaron: Yeah. It is kind of like that. And it's going well. I'm surprised at how many DVDs I've sold. It's not a lot by any stretch, but it's more than I expected. Over the last week I've sold four or five a day. And they're to people all over. I'm curious to know where exactly each person found out about the movie.
Sujewa: At another interview you said your day job is projecting film at the IFC Center. Are you ever tempted to screen DPUSA @ IFC Center w/ out the management knowing about it?
Aaron: So far I haven't been. IFC Center has amazing facilities and it would be great to see Dance Party here, but I like my job and I wouldn't want to do it under the radar.
Sujewa: The DPUSA lead actors did a good job I thought, what are they up to these days?
Aaron: Cole went to the Atlantic Theater Conservatory right after Dance Party. That's the Mamet school. He's in Mexico right now, I'm not sure what he's doing there, but I understand he'll be back in New York soon. Anna still lives in Portland. She does a lot of interesting things there. Painting and bookmaking and things like that. Ryan White is in a band, but he has no cell phone and no address. Every now and then I get a call from some random number and it's him saying that he's in town and wants to hang out.
Sujewa: It was cool hanging out with Stacy Schoolfield, a producer of the currently self-distributed flick Jumping Off Bridges, last night in Silver Spring, MD. We talked for a moment about the apparent low number of women & minorities in key positions in indie film production & distribution. I think the numbers are going up, but with the DV revolution I expected them to go up much quicker - since the cost of entry is now low & films can be made with just 1-5 or so crew members & very little equipment. Why do you think at the moment it seems like US indie film is mostly a liberal "white" male thing (not that there is anything wrong with that)? The indie film scene does not seem as diverse as the music scene.
Aaron: The film business has never been nearly as diverse as the music business. I can count American minority filmmakers prior to 1960 that I've heard of on the fingers of one hand. On the other hand black people are responsible for creating half of, or even more than half of, American music genres of the 20th century. Obviously this comes in part from the fact that minorities have had much less access to wealth. You don't need a lot of money to make music. Now, as you said, the price of entry into film has recently become low, but traditionally the price of entry has been very high. It takes time for the idea that you need all this expensive stuff and all these highly paid crew people to wear off. There's still this unnecessary mystique around film production that there's not around music. Really I think minorities, women, and liberal white guys alike are just now discovering what's possible.
Sujewa: David Lowery & also Pioneer's blog has grouped yourself, Joe Swanberg, Andrew Bujalski, & the Duplass brothers together as a new low-budget filmmaking movement. One thing I noticed about all of your good/interesting/excellent movies is the lack of minority/non-"white" characters in lead roles (except the supporting role of the DJ in Mutual Appreciation, if I recall correctly). How do you think that came about? Is it because you guys don't have any minority/non-"white" friends that are into filmmaking (since you use a lot of your friends in your low budget movies)? As an audience member what is interesting to me about indie film is seeing people that you do not see a lot in Hollywood movies on the screen (post-Down By Law Jarmusch movies are a good example, also the queer film movement), in non-stereotypical roles.
Aaron: I've definitely noticed this and tried to figure out what it's all about. For me it's circumstantial. Had, say, a black guy or a Japanese girl come in to audition and they were better actors than a white guy or white girl I would have cast them. I had imagined Gus, the main character in Dance Party, as a white kid in advance. In part because the guy he was based on is white, but if a black guy came in and he was great I would have figured out what that changed and gone with it. As long as we're talking about the issues of race in independent filmmaking, I'd be curious to get your take on it.
Sujewa: The indie filmmaking scene is getting more diverse - but there is a long way to go. Most people - indie film fans - will only be able to identify a handful of currently active indie filmmakers from minority backgrounds at this point. But, also at this point in time, the tools/the means of production & distribution are more accessible than ever - so all kinds of people who were shut out of filmmaking in the past can now try it - thanks to the digital production revolution, the internet as a cheap publicity tool, the growing interest in self-distribution, DVD players everywhere, etc. I think within 5 years there will be many more minority indie filmmakers - just sheer quantity wise - & out of that should come some excellent filmmakers - film is a hard art to master, takes a lot of work, failures & attempts. I think US indie film is generally open to ethnic diversity. At least I have not felt any hard resistance against my new film from the US indie film scene because I am a filmmaker from an ethnic minority group. I think at the moment Hollywood may be more diverse ethnically, but pretty soon I believe the US indie filmmaking arena will be much more diverse than Hollywood - which will affect Hollywood soon after - because the indie arena is a place most filmmakers like to pass through on their way to Hollywood.
Back to your movie, how did the Dance Party, USA opening at Pioneer go on Wed 11/15?
Aaron: The run has been good. I was nervous about it. The first couple nights we had about 15 people and then on Friday there were only 7. I was really depressed about that. I kind of got disproportionately upset for a while, but then I realized that it wasn't that big of a deal. When I made the movie I had no idea it would come as far as it has. I lost sight of that for about an hour. Either way the rest of the screenings have been better. Last night, weirdly, we had a lot of people. I'm not sure why they chose Tuesday to come out.
Sujewa: If $s were not an issue, what kind of subjects, themes would you want to explore through your upcoming movies & why?
Aaron: I would make some things in a similar vein to Dance Party and Quiet City, but I also have a couple of projects in mind that would take a lot more money. There's this satirical British novel from 80's called Flashman and the Redskins that I want to adapt the first half of. It would be called The Forty-Niner. It's a western about this supposed war hero, who is actually despicable. The weird part is that despite its bleak point of view and bleak humor the book gets to you emotionally. I also want to do a movie about a black jazz drummer and a white country musician in early 1960's Oklahoma City. The jazz guy plays as part of the bland house band at a posh dinner club and the country guy hangs around bars, getting gigs here and there. The jazz guy has big ideas about composing music, but can never seem to accomplish anything. The two hang out and drink and smoke and eventually start to figure things out. The vibe I imagine is a little like Fat City.
Sujewa: Is there going to be a sequel to DPUSA? It would be interesting to see what happens to those two lead characters after high school.
Aaron: No sequel. I agree it would be interesting, but the moment is gone.
Sujewa: Thanks a lot for the interview Aaron. Best of luck with Dance Party, USA.
Dance Party, USA has three more dates at the Pioneer coming up soon: November 24, 26, and 27, all at 7:15 PM. Additionally, there will be some late night dates added in December. Go check out Aaron's movie if you haven't yet. Here is my review of it, originally published on this blog on 11/15/06:
Dance Party, USA is a $3K digital video feature with some excellent cinematography; specially the night time driving scenes of the city, the colors reminded me a little of a DV version of Mystery Train. The story DPUSA tells is a sly coming of age story. Cole Pensinger (who looks a little like one of the SNL actors) plays Gus, the male lead of the story & Anna Kavan plays the somewhat mysterious female lead Jessica. The two meet at a party, Gus tells Jessica a dark secret, and then we are not sure exactly where the story is going to go. It is a pleasant unpredictability. DPUSA is quietly pleasurable & absorbing.

PHOENIX – Today, on International Women's Day, Senator Katie Hobbs announced her intentions to run for Secretary of State citing the need to bring integrity back to Arizona's elections from the persistent debacles plaguing the office.
"Across the country, the electoral process is under attack from Republican attempts to suppress voter turnout among minorities, young people, and the poor." Hobbs said. "As Secretary of State I will do everything in my power to protect every citizen's right to vote and bring competency back to the office to restore confidence in Arizona's elections."
Progressive trailblazer and devoted public schools' proponent Lela Alston will chair Senator Hobbs' campaign. "I am delighted to have Lela's support for my campaign. She was there for my first step into elected office and I couldn't be more honored to have her with me through this next phase," said Hobbs.
"Katie has been doing an amazing job as Democratic Leader in the Senate advocating for public schools, equal rights, and looking out for the people who don't have a lobbyist at the Capitol. As Senator, she's accomplished a great deal, including expanding healthcare to working families, passing legislation to protect domestic violence victims and sexual assault survivors, and blocking Republican bills aimed at making it more difficult for citizens to vote," said Alston. "For these reasons and many more, I am enthusiastically chairing her campaign, and will do everything I can to help Arizona get a new Secretary of State!"
Katie Hobbs is the Arizona Senate Democratic Leader, representing District 24 that stretches from midtown Phoenix to south Scottsdale. As a social worker, Hobbs focuses on helping women escape domestic violence and rebuild their lives. Hobbs has been a champion of human rights, equal rights for women, the LGBTQ community, and most importantly, our right to vote.

Richard McAniff, one of our corporate vice presidents in Office, had some interesting stuff to say about Excel Services at the Office 2.0 Conference in San Francisco. Here's an exerpt from the blog at http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=6149:
I later asked McAniff how he defined a "game changer." "If you can you radically reduce cost, improve productivity and top line revenue, it's a game changer." He cited spreadsheets, search and eBay as examples... McAniff cited Excel Web Services as a game changer. "It satisfies end user and IT requirements. A mere mortal can publish a spreadsheet and it can go through a workflow process."
Sometimes when you're nose-down in your work you forget how cool the stuff you're working on is. It's nice to get a reminder every once in a while. 🙂

Picture: Janice Dickinson American Idol Season 6 finale at the Kodak Theater Los Angeles, California - 23.05.07
Former model Janice Dickinson almost quit US reality TV show THE SURREAL LIFE just hours after walking through the door of the Los Angeles celebrity mansion after taking offence to actor and housemate Bronson Pinchot's amorous advances.
The bitchy socialite and author, who once dated Sylvester Stallone and Jack Nicholson, turned into a drama queen on the show's debut, which aired on Sunday night (10JUL05) after BEVERLY HILLS COP star Pinchot started hugging her.
After telling the actor, "You can't grope me like that," Dickinson burst into tears as Pinchot insisted he was just being friendly, adding, "You've got to stop or I'm gonna leave. I quit. I gotta go."
Dickinson was then caught phoning a pal in New York, begging him to pick her up.
The diva was then persuaded to stay by rap star SANDRA 'PEPA' DENTON - another housemate.
The former model later explained her actions: "I don't like men uninvitedly (sic) putting their hands on me and mauling, molesting or groping and I asked him, 'Please don't touch me.'
"Bronson's creepy. It really rubbed me the wrong way... I'd rather sleep with a homeless guy."
But the actor insisted that he felt an instant attraction to Dickinson.
He said, "I believed in my heart Janice and I will hook up somehow. I liked her hoarse voice and I liked her tough-ass thing. I think the sex would be amazing... I never groped her."
Dickinson's 12 days in the Surreal Life house with Pinchot, Pepa, baseball star JOSE CONSECO, reality TV queen OMAROSA, model Caprice and moto-cross star Carey Hart was filmed and will run on US TV throughout the summer (05).12/07/2005 02:50

Astro - Deadbeat
Brownsville, Brooklyn rapper Astro may not have gone on to clench victory on the first season of The X Factor USA, but the teen spitter has gone on to clench numerous other victories including a record deal with Epic Records and even a cameo on CBS' Person Of Interest. For his Booth debut and the first single from his forthcoming mixtape, Astro lets his absentee father have it on the self-produced Deadbeat. The former music reality competition star doesn't hesitate in expressing the fact that if his father was aware of his present-day success he likely would have stuck around as he spits, "I'm going extra over beats because I know you watching me/ Fathers, never leave your kids because you never know what they'll grow up to be." Although his Epic Records debut may still be in the works, the Brooklyn-based DJBooth newcomer fully plans on releasing his indie mixtape in the near future.

Having to cope with debt is a natural part of modern life.
Dealing with debt at any age can be difficult but can be especially hard when you reach middle age. Most people are already experiencing problems by the time they finish education.
When you are young, dealing with credit cards, cars, and even mortgages might not seem like much but when you start to reach mid-life, you start to think about other things seriously, like retirement.
Having a large amount of debt can make retirement more difficult, especially when you are faced with a reduced income. Retirement incomes are generally a lot lower than the income you receive while working. If you are barely able to pay your bills now, retiring may put you in a serious financial situation.
Luckily, there are things you can do to correct your creditworthiness.
When dealing with debt it is important to know where you stand. This means assessing your current situation and looking at where you can make changes.
No one wants to admit that they are experiencing serious financial trouble. However if your debt is more than half your income, you are experiencing a financial strain.
After you have assessed your finances, you may find that there are several areas that you can cut back on your expenses. For example, if you spend £100 a month eating out, consider eating in for a few months. This will give you an extra £200 to put towards erasing your debt.
Start small; pay off those bills easiest to pay off first. This gives you more money to direct to those with high balances.

Rebecca, Cumberland ,England
I have in my tree Rebecca garnett born c.1805 in England, probably in Cumberland or Westmorland, though possibly in Lancashire. She married David Myers, who was born in Manchester. The Myers roots were in on the west coast Cumberland and in the Lake District, and the family returned there for several generations. It's therefore likely that Rebecca's family were from the north-west of England.
Does anyone know of Rebecca and family?

Salvation Army red kettles in need of donations
DETROIT (WJBK) - They help thousands of people every year, but right now the Salvation Army could use a little help itself to make sure everyone in metro Detroit has a happy holiday.
"If you can dig in your pocket, if you can find that change under your couch please help us," said Katherine Bell, a Salvation Army bell ringer.
When you put a donation in the Salvation Army Red Kettle, it's a contribution that can have a tremendous impact on people living in Metro Detroit.
"The red kettle campaign really helps us provide many services throughout the year," said Capt. Peter Mont. "It's not just Christmas."
The Salvation Army provides after school programs housing and homeless services, disaster relief and helps feed many hungry families.
But officials say it's difficult to provide these resources when donations are down.
"We're tracking now about 10 percent down from last year," Mont said. "Which at the end of the season would be about $840,000 which is a substantial amount of money in metro Detroit."
If donations continue to lag, Salvation Army organizers say some services could suffer and that will make it difficult to provide help to those in need.
"It will make it a challenge," Mont said. "It could mean not able to do as much for folks that really need it."
There are three more weeks left for the red kettle campaign. And organizers say you don't have to leave your home to make a donation.
Go online to salmich.org and make a donation, "that way you don't have to go out into the cold," Mont quipped.
But when you are out and about, organizers hope you will stop by the red kettle and help them help others.
"People think I've only got change what difference is that going to make," Mont said. "Every quarter, dime, dollar makes a huge difference."

Mumbai, Jan 29 (UNI) Nine out of 10 TV viewers want a change from the ''Saas Bahu'' type of soaps, a research carried out to understand the drop in ratings of Hindi serials revealed.
The research undertaken by Starcom Worldwide included both men and women from Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Moradabad and Kolhapur in the age group 18-54 years.
According to the research, three out of five viewers are seeking faster and more progressive programmes with a definite end. Over 50 per cent of respondents expressed confusion in story lines of these serials. Respondents in smaller towns expressed preference for simpler story lines.
The top three demands of TV viewers include progressive stories more in line with the present time, fast paced serials with a definite end to the story and exposure to international locations and foreign cultures.
Speaking to reporters here, Starcom Worldwide, India Executive Director Nikhil Rangnekar said, ''The astounding results of this research throw significant light on the needs and expectations of TV viewers in India today. This research should be a wake-up call to all GEC's and production houses that create such content. There is a colossal need to overhaul the current content and to provide viewers with more progressive content.'' UNI LS RN AKJ BD2035

I can add this quickly... but please read below. Also, despite the comments, we don't really honor it. For example, proc_mutex_fcntl_create() doesn't require it and is smart enough to do the right thing. So maybe it's more an issue for APR (that is, have each implementation not only determine if an fname is needed, but also create one ala proc_mutex_fcntl_create(). In fact, I would almost kind of prefer that since naming conventions could vary. For example, would /tmp/apr879879 be OK under Win32? Again, this is just the sort of abstraction I think would be prefect in APR. -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] firstname.lastname@example.com [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both and deserve neither" - T.Jefferson

I wish you better days! Has your rheumy considered Humira, Enbrel or Remicade? I started taking the methotrexate about 2-3 mos ago. It helps but still in daily pain and limited. I took my first inj of Humira two weeks ago I noticed the swelling was less. I take my next one on Monday.
It is hard not to stress over our conditions, but try not to as much as you can so it doesn't make it worst.
Take care of you and hope you start feeling some relieve.
Thanks for the reply,
I try real hard not to stress,but then there are limitations. I work in the health care field with alot of elderly people and I see what the aging process of this disease does to people. So yea I am worried about the effects later on in life. I am not the healthies person and worry alot about the meds I take and the amount of them.
Hi Katina,
Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. Tee has a point. Has your doctor considered any of the biologics (enbrel, humira, remicade, and a whole host of new ones that have recently been FDA approved)?
Since you're already taking mtx, if you added, for example, enbrel, that might make a world of difference. My rheumy put me directly on the biologics without doing mtx, but only because of the pregnancy issues with mtx. Enbrel isn't working completely for me, but is helping a bit. I may be adding mtx next week. The combination of those two drugs, in particular, are noted as being very effective. But you could use any combination you and your doctor wanted.
By the way, I took Relafen for my first year after dx. It worked pretty well at first, but I ended up with some nasty ulcers in my colon as a result. I may just be a bit different than most, but you really need to be careful with the NSAIDS.
It sounds like you are really in bad shape right now. Ask your doctors about adding a biologic to the mtx. In the meantime, you might ask about taking prednisone to keep the swelling and inflammation down until your mtx kicks in and does what it's supposed to do.
Erin, Thanks for the support. 16 is so young to develop the disease,bit its there. i had one dr. say "You have no RA factor showing up". then a few months later they were flabergasted that the norm is usually 90% and mine was 167%. WOW what a shock they could not beleive I could still walk and function. I was a waitress for 3 yrs. and I dont know how I did it. But I am going to ask the Dr. to give me some thing else hopefully it will work. Thanks so much to those of you that have replied I reallly appreciate it..

The venture capital model is being remade. It must happen from the ground up, via its relationship with entrepreneurs, as Daphne Zohar has previously described here. But it must also happen from the top down, via its relationship with limited partners (the investors in venture funds).
Limited partners in venture capital funds aren't very happy these days. After a decade of indifferent performance, 10-year returns for venture capital as an asset class are set to turn negative this year when the last of the dot-com exits disappear from the rolls. When that happens, the industry's main performance peg will no longer hold up the venture capital marketing tent. Limited partners will find it even harder to allocate money to venture capital, and funds will find it more difficult than ever to raise money.
[Editor's note: This article by San Diego Xconomist Paul Kedrosky continues the thread started last month by Boston Xconomist Daphne Zohar in Venture Model Makeover & Diet Plan—Step One]
Of course, that doesn't mean that investors should abandon venture capital. There will always be good performance available from skilled investors adept at making early investments in illiquid private companies in emerging growth markets. The venture capital industry is not disappearing, nor is investor interest in the asset class. There is, however, an opportunity for investors to force change on a broken industry— there are specific changes that limited partners should force on partners at venture funds.
One perennial problem at venture funds flows from the compensation system. The standard compensation model for venture capitalists is "2 and 20": Partners get a management fee of 2% of the assets under management, and then earn 20% (the "carry") of any investing gains. To understand one reason why that model needs to change, it helps to take a walk through the math. On a $100-million fund, a 2% management fee provides $2 million in annual income for the partners, come good investing or bad. Given a reasonable numbers of partners, associates, administrative personnel, and office expenses, that isn't anywhere near penury, but it isn't entirely unreasonable either.
If you scale the fund size up, however, the same cannot be said. A 2% fee on a $500 million venture fund means $10 million in annual fees for the partnership. But you don't have five times the operating expenses on a $500 million fund that you do on a $100 million fund. Costs go up, but nowhere near that much. What happens to the extra money? It typically turns into higher salaries for the partners, with it being common for senior partners at some of the largest venture funds to receive seven-figure incomes from fees alone. That is, of course, egregious and wrong, enabling partners to become at least moderately wealthy without making a single successful investment. It is a serious misalignment of incentives between limited and general partners.
What is the solution? Rather than shrinking the management fee percentage from 2% to some other fixed figure, which would make vital smaller venture funds uneconomic, a better approach would be negotiated operating budgets. Partnerships should lay out their planned operating expenses for their investors as part of fund-raising. What is really required to run the fund? Reach agreement on that budgetary figure, and make it part of the contract with investors. Investors can eliminate the incentive to raise larger funds purely for the purpose of larger fees and higher salaries, thus better aligning investors and a fund's managing partners.
Next up, limited partners should drive a harder bargain on when and how they get paid on successful investments. Traditionally, limited partners in a venture fund get 99% of the fund's returns (these are typically paid quarterly) until they are fully repaid their original investment, at which point the split goes to 80% to investors and 20% to the fund's partnership. The trouble with that is two-fold. First, it permits the partnership to get paid before it's obvious that the fund will return its original capital. Second, it ignores the costs of management fees in paying carry.
What would be a better approach? One improvement would be for limited partners to get 100% of a fund's returns until they are fully repaid their original investment. That way, a fund's general partners wouldn't be pre-paid on a fund that may or may not end up performing. Second, once carry is being paid on the fund, it should first have management fees deducted from it. In combination, these two changes would help realign a fund's partnership with its investors.
There are many other fiduciary changes that prudent limited partners could drive. For example, they could ask that general partners personally invest more of the fund's total committed capital. Historically that figure has been around 1% of assets, but raising it substantially would further improve alignment between limited and general partners. There could also be more evergreen funds created, in that way reducing the investment timing gamesmanship that goes with overlapping funds and fund lifecycles that is too complicated to go into here. There are still other examples, but the point is that opportunities for improving the relationship and alignment between limited and general partners are legion. It merely requires desire and action from limited partners.
It is time limited partners exercised more influence over their venture capital investees. While that may have been hard in the past, with limited partners skittish about pushing too hard for fear they would be kept out of the best funds, such is no longer the case. Instead, even some formerly high-flying funds will be fund-raising on bended knee over the next year. Conditions have conspired to create a great opportunity for limited partners to drive overdue change in a relationship that has become dated and dysfunctional. It will help make a better and more modern venture capital industry.

Customer Questions & AnswersAsk a Question
If it\'s not raining, but the grass is wet, will it still mow? Can it sense wet grass? Can it mow wet grass?
It cannot detect wet grass because the rain sensor is on top of the unit, so it have to be manually stopped. It will cut wet grass, but not as good and will not cause any damage to the robot mower.
Does Robomow edge the lawn by the curbs and by the flower gardens?
Robomow doesn't edge the curbs or gardens due to the proximity of the perimeter wire, which has a recommended distance from the lawn's edge. While it does get very close to it, edge work that needs fine lawn details such as gardens should be done you.
I've got a separate front and back yard. Can this mow both or is it restricted to one yard?
If they are connected it can be set up to mow both on its own by setting up two zones for the front and back. If not connected you have to carry it from front to back and vice verse.
What's to stop someone from stealing this mower if it's mowing the lawn when I'm not home?
If you have the anti theft turned on you will be sent a notification if it's activated.
What is the technical difference between RS612 and RS622? They have the same battery pack.
The RS622 has brushless motors (RS612 has brushes) which makes it quieter and gives a longer life, also the RS622 comes with more pegs and more wire.

Global Energy Transition from Local Perspectives: 'Yes In My Backyard'
The Groningen Energy Summer School (GESS) 2017 takes an interdisciplinary approach to the societal and technological dimensions of the energy transition. By combining a broad range of disciplines, this event will offer a unique opportunity to PhD students to become aware of different aspects of energy transition, to develop novel insights, and to create synergy in approaches to the energy transition. The participants will attend lectures by specialists in the field, present their own and each other's work, and play an active role in the discussions.
This 6th summer school in a highly successful series discusses energy transition 'in your own backyard'. In the fossil fuel based energy system citizens and local companies play a passive role as consumers of fuels, gas and electricity. Renewables challenge this in multiple ways. The implications of renewable production tend to be contested, often in 'not in my backyard' (NIMBY) terms. Alternatively, households, companies and communities gain new opportunities to produce their own energy as active prosumers. This holds promises both in the Global North and in the South for 'yes in my backyard' (YIMBY) developments.
The existing energy system has to adapt. Most renewable technologies depend on a high number of relatively small production sites, while bottom-up initiatives create new institutional networks ranging from cooperatives to local energy companies. Grid operators, energy companies and governments have to adapt as is illustrated by the development of smart grids, new buffering technologies and changing energy regulations.
GESS 2017 highlights local perspectives on global energy transition. We will be sensitive to the wide range of 'backyards' around the globe, addressing differences between urban and rural areas across the world. How to map today's and tomorrow's energy landscapes? How are opportunities evaluated by companies and (local) governments? How do local changes interact with global institutional, financial and corporate decision-making?
By interaction between natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, the humanities, economics and law unique new insights will emerge, as the previous Energy Summer Schools have demonstrated.

This summer school is intended for PhD candidates / students.
Course aim
The summer school wants to explore the interrelation between new technological developments in the field of energy transition and existing social-economic and political practices. How to map today's and tomorrow's energy landscapes? How are opportunities and vulnerabilities evaluated by companies and governments? How to understand the dynamics between micro and macro networks in the production, transport, distribution and consumption of energy? What are the consequences for the alleged return of geopolitics? By interaction between natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, the humanities, economics and law unique new insights will emerge, as the previous Energy Summer Schools have demonstrated.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin goes behind enemy lines (The Daily Politico Palin Hit Piece)
Posted on 05/28/2011 12:01:25 PM PDT by Rational Thought
Among the New Hampshire electorate as a whole, Palin is viewed favorably by just 28 percent, according to a recent survey by the Democratic automated pollster Public Policy Polling.
In PPP surveys in 31 states over the last six months, just three states had smaller proportions of Palin fans, and all were in the northeast: New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. (Though the firm is partisan, its results generally track with polls by other organizations. PPPs results were used in this analysis in the interest of consistency across different states.)
Continue Reading Text Size -+reset Listen Palins highest ratings, in the low 40s, were in states like Montana, Mississippi, Nebraska and Texas, according to PPP.
In Pennsylvania, Palin likely has pockets of support in the rural center of the state and among tea party activists, said Jim Roddey, chairman of Pittsburghs Allegheny County Republican Committee.
Overall, most of us feel she could be an important force in the party, but I would hope she would not run for president, said Roddey, who hasnt endorsed a 2012 primary candidate. I dont think she has the intellectual capacity or the depth of knowledge to be president.
Madonna, the Pennsylvania pollster, said theres evidence that putting Palin on the ticket hurt McCain overall in Pennsylvania by turning off the suburban swing voters particularly women that are crucial to winning the state.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Rove said she may be right about that, though. He wasn't talking about real rules, but the conventional wisdom about how to run a campaign. He made the point that the conventional approach may not be the best approach for her.
Christie is a Global Warming nut? I didn't know that.
The overall style, her manner, her approach, doesnt sit well with college educated, independent-minded women
"college educated, independent-minded women" is a code for single issue, partial birth abortion voters. Granted they have a visceral hatred for Plain, but they would vote against any conservative.

A a code for single issue, partial birth abortion voters. Granted they have a visceral hatred for Palin, but they would vote against any conservative.
Surprise (to the critics) ending!
Right on both counts.
There have been dozens since that they've not so pronounced, but that's a pretty elite group for getting elected president as a Republican. Poppy of course rode in on Reagan's longitudinal coattails and you've got to go back 40 years for another winning Pubbie.
intellectual capacity' is this years version of 'gravitas'.
Is that why the liberal media "raved" about Dan Quayle? Because he was so "electable"?
The liberals make Sarah Palin the poster child of the entire Republican Party and then attack her for exactly the same reason that conservatives make Nancy Pelosi the poster child of the entire Democrat Party and then attack her :
Both Nancy Pelosi and Sarah Palin have horrendously negative poll numbers outside of their own fan clubs and the strategy is to keep attacking such an individual while, at the same time, painting that individual as the symbol of the other party.
In an April 2011, 46% of all voters stated that they "would definitely NOT vote for Obama" in the next Presidential election.
How can a sitting President with such bad polling ever hope to win reelection?
Simple. By having the GOP nominate a candidate who SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of all voters state that they will definitely NOT vote for.
What candidate has such abysmally negative polling among all voters?
Sarah Palin.
Let that sink in:
SIXTY FIVE PRECENT (65%) of ALL voters have stated that they will DEFINITELY NOT vote for Sarah Palin.
In politics, that is about as "unelectable" as you can possibly get.
They want you to be tired of it. They want you to be distracted. The only thing they don't want is a Republican candidate with blue collar appeal (someone who doesn't just know the words like a T-Paw but also knows the music, if you will) to focus on the economy and to run an anti-establishment, anti-crony capitalist campaign, because that sells with independents in blue states.
Really? Then why post the PPP one. Why not post the others?
Never ask a question if you don't already know the answer. That is why
we won't risk a real convention since Reagan almost stole the nomination from the wonderful Gerry Ford.
Fills every venue they visit? Excites the "base"?
Are you serious?
By that yardstick, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber could be touted as good Presidential candidates if it were not for the "35 years old" constitutional requirement.
Yes, Sarah Palin, just like Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga, has a very dedicated core of fans and all three of them sell out venues every single time.
Even Charlie Sheen can claim to "sell out every venue".
Charlie Sheen's Sold-Out Tour Expanding To Several More U.S. Cities
However, compared to the size of the entire population of the U.S., those Fan Clubs are relative small.
Most Americans would not go to a Lady Gaga or a Justin Beiber concert even if you gave them free tickets.
As for Sarah Palin, SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of ALL voters have stated that they would DEFINITELY NOT vote for her.
The Republican Party makes up only 29% of all American voters. Having Sarah Palin getting 100% of the vote of the "base" and 100% of the vote of everybody else that has not already said that they would DEFINITELY NOT vote for Sarah Palin still adds up to a 65% to 35% electoral bloodbath and the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama.
The GOP needs to get a conservative candidate that does not have poll numbers lower than Osama bin Ladin's corpse at the bottom of the ocean (as Sarah Palin currently has) to avoid the certainty of either a RINO President or a second term for Marxist Obama.

Are you serious? You think Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber excite the GOP base?
It is easier to argue a point, when you get to fabricate what you are responding too.
Same old, same old. We'll find out when she runs, won't we? Good luck with these same old BS, Politico. Palin's going to do damage to them and precious and they know it. Couldn't keep her out and won't shut her up.
So much so that Politico can't help themselves from writing about her all the time.
Time wanted Dan Quayle to be the candidate, and their cover says so.
The last thing they want is for Palin to be the candidate.
Why would that be, Skippy?
Add Gun Control to your list.
Turn out trumps skewed polling every time, because the motivated voter is a force multiplier. Motivated voters win friends and influence people to vote with them. Fence sitters are influenced by motivated voters.
BO does not have better motivated support than Sarah has. BO's support is bussed in and bribed. 13 states have passed laws which inhibit phony vote registration, corrupted absentee-ballot process, and multiple ballot casting. The dems are wringing their hands over it.
My question remains unanswered: if Sarah wants to run who could beat her in the GOP primary, when motivated voters are even more powerful than they are in the general?
"As for Sarah Palin, SIXTY FIVE PERCENT (65%) of ALL voters have stated that they would DEFINITELY NOT vote for her."—Polybius
Oh Poly, you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. Since the last Presidential election, there has been no poll taken that interviewed 100% of US voters, ergo, there could be no such poll wherein 65% of ALL VOTERS said they would not vote for or against any given candidate, let alone against Sarah.
You exaggerated, which is a kinder, gentler way to say, "you lied!"
This always kills me.
I'm college educated. And I support Palin! In fact, I have two degrees and am working on another.
And I'm about as independent minded as they get. Never received assistance from anyone — worked my way through school, still manage to live as independent from the government or from anyone, except WITH my husband - and we split everything 50% and make all decisions together.
What IS this crap they just seem to throw out about women?
I loathe when the liberal media purports to speak "for all women."

Hey sooper,
Have you ever read Call Me Anna: The Autobiography of Patty Duke by Patty Duke. It is an older book but a true story and amazing story.
You can pick it up in paperback or order it from library.
After reading your post this came to mind as a story I read that was written by a person in the public eye and how brave she was to share her story.
Just a suggestion and not a work book by any means but a life story.
Post Edited (stkitt) : 6/30/2007 4:13:20 PM (GMT-6)
what do tyou mean mania? you just described my whole life.
