I had been going to My Tooth Spa, my Fair Oaks dentist, for a number of years before I considered getting Invisalign treatment to straighten my teeth. Truthfully, I didn't even know that dentists could even offer cosmetic services like that, but My Tooth Spa is one of the only Sacramento dentists who offer Invisalign at their dental offices. One day, when I had a regular dental exam appointment, I noticed a sign on the side of the office that said that they offered Invisalign. And that got me thinking.
For years I had thought about getting my teeth fixed. I just wasn't sure what the best option for me would be. I had braces when I was a teenager, so I was reluctant to get them again, just because I felt I had already paid my dues. And I felt my teeth weren't bad enough to warrant braces. I needed something that wasn't so invasive but that wouldn't interfere with my lifestyle. I always thought Invisalign would be the best option for me.
When I went in for my regular appointment at My Tooth Spa, I asked my dentist if she thought it would be possible for me to get Invisalign as an option for teeth straightening. I told her that I had braces 20 years ago and that since then, my teeth have become slightly crooked. Crooked enough that I was considering getting them fixes. She was really helpful and let me know what my options were.
To get my teeth where I want them to be, it would take about 6 months with Invisalign. I actually thought that seemed incredibly short. I was pretty excited to hear that I could potentially have the smile I wanted in less than a year. Half of a year's time.
The best part was that Invisalign is totally reasonably prices now that it's been around longer. It would be the same amount as braces would be—why would I even consider looking like a teenager, if I could have the sleek invisibility of Invisalign as a teeth straightening strategy.
I am so glad I was able to get Invisalign through my own dentist. It was really helpful because one roadblock I faced was in having to find an orthodontist. I loved that I just went to my regular dentist for my cosmetic procedures. In addition to the Invisalign, I also got my teeth whitened. It was awesome!

How are books, book discussion groups and bookstores helped and hindered by virtual communities? That was the question at last week's #followreader discussion, which has moved to Thursdays for the summer – since many who work in book publishing have short Friday hours.
Our guests were Ami Grecko (aka @ami_with_an_i) of Get Glue, a social media platform that lets people connect around books movies and music, and Patrick Brown (@goodreads) of GoodReads.com, a social networking site for readers, who was formerly a bookseller and blogger at Vromans Bookstore.
Here are some highlights of the hour-long chat:
Advantages of Virtual Communities
@ami_with_an_i: Virtual communities add depth & breadth to book promo & chat because now its easy to find people reading same book in real time
@RichRennicks: I've attended a few events in town that I might not have b/c of who Ive seen planning to attend on Facebook.
@Chrisbookarama: I met a local author because of a tweet from her publisher. I wouldn't have otherwise.
@Chrisbookarama: My bookclub has only met online in the 6 yrs we've been together. (Individuals have met face-to-face though.)
@BethFishReads:s On video conference with 8 to 10 ppl, we dont seem to have problems talking for one or two hours.
@Figmentfiction: Online, you listen to people you trust. Instead of ads, you find books by listening to those you respect
When Real Life Communities Move Online
@BethFishReads:I see how online community turns into RL [real life], but do RL communities tend to join online groups?
@RichRennicks: I know several IRL book groups [IRL = "in real life"] who set up Google or Yahoo groups. Inevitably those clusters bleed into Facebook
@JewishLibraries: Sometimes FB or Goodreads groups end up being good centers of communication even for closeknit IRL groups
@goodreads: We have a lot of IRL book clubs that use us for organizing & for realtime (or near) interaction
@JewishLibraries: my book club is small but has 13 chapters nationwide – FB & GR work well for sharing book lists & info.
@goodreads: In our experience, online communities form around local comm., also those around genres can be powerful.
@goodreads: Also seen sites like meetup.com have big impact on bookstore event attendance. Completely organic.
@goodreads: We'd love to enable more IRL interaction for our members. We do swaps, pub crawl, etc. How can we scale them?
Disadvantages of Virtual Communities
@JewishLibraries: is there ever too much talk abt a book online? Is there online promo fatigue?
@goodreads: Biggest hindrance to promotion is often vulnerability of author. Must be able to walk away from negativity.
@ami_with_an_i: Authors *always* needed to be careful re: vulnerability & niceness. Now mistakes are just amped via soc med
@BenRubinstein: I see more fatigue fr overmarketed books in RL, not digitally. Ive seen THE PASSAGE more in RL than online.
@charabbott: What indie stores losing sale when person w/ Kindle browses print book & buys instantly from Amazon?
@charabbott: Re digital readers siphoning sales to Amazon, my concern is indies' sustainability if they can't compete
@librarythingtim: Are store kiosks w/ online info part of the answer for real bookstores?
@Copperfields: "store kiosks" as part of the answer?" Nope. People can guide themselves at home. Need a bookseller.
@buriedbybooks: I think the indie neglect of genre readers has caused as many problems for indies as the internet has
@jasonashlock: We don't yet live in entirely digital world. For all our efforts, human default is incarnation & embodiment

The boss had a creative moment the other day and suggested that our craft club be called C cubed. I would type it here in math-ese if I knew how. So just imagine what it looks like until I do. Anyway, Friday night was once again filled with women overdosing on creativity. The tables and countertops were a bit in the over-stimulating category with supplies that seemed to grow exponentially throughout the night. Enjoy!
I think everyone is trying to figure out where to start. It was a bit overwhelming when you saw all the supplies.
Of course, the math teacher had a plan. And she stuck to it, by golly.
And there was the one who stuck to bird making.
I am very curious to find out who actually completes this project. Most completed six to eight magnets. Daughter Kelly and I are proud--in a good way--to say that ours are done before the first of December. Amazing since I haven't finished reading the Advent book that I started with the children last year.
Mine (below) is on a cookie sheet painted with chalk board paint. I will probably draw (with chalk) a loose grid on the tray to begin, knowing that it will be impossible to keep my designs in the squares. And I probably will redo a few when I actually unpack my Christmas decorations and uncover some sentimental ornaments.

In the Kitchen
I can't ever find cinnamon rolls that I love as much as these. The frosting is my favorite part (I think it's my grandma's recipe) and somehow mom gets enough on them so that you never hit a dry spot the entire time you're eating them. She made a ton of them too and they were HUGE so we got to enjoy them all week. Believe me, if you've never eaten one of my mom's cinnamon rolls...you wish you had. Thanks again mom.
Despite my baking hesitations, I really enjoy cooking and tonight's dinner was delicious. I had some leftover cream from the cinnamon rolls and thought I'd better use it rather than let it go to waste. The recipe is from Cathy Hess out of Jen's family cookbook which Jen was nice enough to give me after I begged her incessantly. (I love the food the Hess family eats).
This Citrus Cream Sauce would be so delicious with a white fish or crab as a main dish; and, of course it was good with just pasta. I added marinated artichoke hearts because we had some we needed to use and tomatoes because I have so many that I add them to pretty much everything. It also calls for mint and basil but since I didn't have mint on hand I doubled the basil and it was still great. The recipe is super easy, and I would recommend it to anyone (especially you Gail).
Pasta with Citrus Cream Sauce
1 Cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. cognac or dry sherry
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 large naval orange
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
2 Tbsp. fresh mint, chopped (about 3 sprigs)
12 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn
1/2 lb. linguini, cooked al dente (obviously I used bowtie and...still good)
1/2 Cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
In a skillet over medium-low heat, warm cream. Add cognac or dry sherry, zest of lemon and orange, and salt. Simmer 7-10 min. Add mint and basil. Toss hot, drained pasta with sauce and grated cheese.

Thanks for posting the recipe, Miranda. I WILL try it soon. BTW, did you recommend the recipe especially for me, because you know that by Maddock Law I have to love everything cirtus (and I do) or because it is super easy?
- September 2, 2007 at 10:17 PM
wow. i was just reading jen's blog page and saw the link to your page and decided to pay a vist. and what do you know, i'm mentioned in the first post i read. sweet. glad you liked the recipe.
p.s. congrats on the baby! i'm super excited for you and nate.

I have a way of making the cinnamon rolls that doesn't involve having to do the roll dough as well. I get premade/frozen cinnamon rolls from the Provo School District lunch ladies and then just make the frosting. It's delish, and my boys can actually eat an entire roll. So glad that Grandma Egan passed this recipe along to her girls...

Comic to Enjoy
Posted by Mystic_Mom at 5:58 PM
Gift of....
I shouldn't do it, I know it, but I still do. I read the pet rescue sites - about the dogs and cats and other animals who are found, what happened and their quest for a 'forever' home. In a society of kill shelters, kill organizations (like PETA) we still have a strong network of rescue people. Some like our friends Sonia and Sally take it to heart when an animal needs to find a new home, or never had a proper home at all. We've helped when we could, and in the past have taken part in livestock, companion and wild animal rescues - not to mention the occassional aggie! I've been reading about a place in Alberta and how most of their dogs come from the dump where they have been dumped. That is terrible for so many reasons - the least of which is it cruel. We have our own 'dump' dog stories - many of which are because someone got a puppy who soon became a dog (ie: no longer little, cute or easy to care for) and then became 'trash'.
Cody was a dump dog who is still a damaged soul. Emma, the Elkhound, was dropped off in the country, which is terrible but when you think about the fact that she is elderly and mostly blind, it becomes unconscionable. We tried to find her owners and to no avail so she is a self-placed rescue. We love her and she has her seeing eye cat and pal Abby (who is also a rescue but a Pyr). Our cats either self-placed or found and growing up almost all of our companion animals were rescues of one sort or another.
What I cannot understandm, what I cannot fathom, is how people can choose to do terrible things to animals (okay we do things to other people too but people for the most part have some better defenses than animals). They choose to be careless, neglectful, cruel, unaware and they choose to be irresponsible. They aren't always 'dregs' often they are people you would never suspect (like PETA who eutanizes over 80% of their surrendered animals). They are movie stars who are dog fighters, veterinarians who abuse animals in their care, unknowing and ignorant people who don't have a clue and no desire to get one.
So what is my point? It is simple - choose to NOT be any of the above. Choose to be a caring, informed person who would choose to rescue an animal, to provide them care until their final hours, choose to make a difference. If you cannot foster or adopt then maybe consider other ways to help - besides sending money to the big name organizations where you don't know where the money goes. I mean HSUS, PETA and others who use thier huge budgets for many things but animal care isn't one of them. Support local no kill shelters, rescue organisations and rescuers. Be a relay driver, a short term foster home or anything you wish. That would be the gift of life for an animal - and with Abby sitting here watching Luke play I cannot think of a better reason. Where would she be if her start in life hadn't ended up here? Where would Patches, Emma or Nick, Cody, Andy, Harley...the list goes on - where would they be? I know our lives would be less rich, less full of memories and yes less full of hair, care and stress too!!
Think of your animals and those without families this Christmas - and remember the first Christmas was celebrated in a barn!

Merry Christmas
I was thinking today, watching Earl with his cow Hot Donna, how much our animals can become part of our lives. How much more did the animals that kept the stable warm for Joseph and Mary that first Christmas morning? They warmed it with their bodies and their gentle spirits and they more than likely understood and stood reverently at the birth.
They, being creatures of God as well, must have sensed something special about that night, and the time leading up to it. More perceptive than us in many ways they probably had a pretty good idea the angels were about before they became visible to the people.
When I was small I left cookies for Santa and grain and hay for the reindeer. Couldn't have those hard working animals not getting treats somewhere. So now we are at Luke's third Christmas and he is learning about Jesus, His birth and of course you cannot miss Santa in our culture. But we are trying to focus on the giving, sharing, charitable St. Nicholas rather than the lap sitting, bribe taking, list keeping, peeping tom type Santa that has children and adults thinking they have to be 'worthy' of a gift. I never liked the idea of someone who spyed on me year round to ensure my good behaviour or to bribe him with appearing goodness before the holidays. (phew sorry about the rant!)
But back to the blessings of the season - family, friends, time together and the wonders of creation around us every day of the year. May you and yours be brightly blessed, always and in all ways!

Calm before the storm...
There are storm warnings and watches for us, cold weather looming in the forecast and around us there are folks without power suffering through ice storms. Down south they are struggling through their first snow in decades and it seems that this is our warning shot that winter is coming for us too. The birds are eating lots of seed, the deer are out browsing and the cattle are busy making beds in the bush. The signs are there for a storm and yet I look out on a calm day with no wind, warmer temperatures than the night before and a quiet grey sky. I think the ocean before a storm is like this - lulling the unaware, lurking just over the horizon.
Are you prepared? Generator fueled up and working? Food stashed away? Batteries charged? Storm ready? Not that we can be ready for everything but we can be prepared for the basics of being stranded, especially in the rural areas like ours.
I spoke to a friend of ours from Texas about getting a generator and he wasn't sure he'd need one, that was before the hurricanes of course!
Earl has gone to get some hay for the cows and horses, and we'll bed them in the trees for some extra comfort during the storm they say is coming. I don't know how much I trust forecasts, it seems our worst storms sneak up on us, rather than giving lots of notice. This could be a tempest in a tea cup, and I wouldn't mind a bit!
Gotta go and open gates, will be scrapping later so might post a freebie for fun or a layout or two.

It's a Blogger nation...
There are some great ways to share and reach people, and blogging is something that is quite new for some of us. We know it's a great tool and when someone new joins the ranks of bloggers in farm and ranch country its a great thing.
Check out this one: http://www.cattlecountry.blogspot.com/
More to come from the Farm Animal Care/Farm Animal Councils from across Canada!
Share your links by getting in touch with me, and think about this when you start looking forward to Christmas - it all began in a stable, with farm animals in reverent attendance! Look for our Christmas card, digitally of course, very soon right here!

Oh Ho Ho Ho No No No
So here we are, entering December, and approaching Winter Solstice, Christmas and the end of 2008. So many things change in a year...all I need to do is look around me to see that. Christmas is a wonderful time of year, and even with the challenges therein it is a wonderful time of year. Making and finding perfect gifts from the heart, teaching little ones about the meaning of Christmas from all angles (with the help of angels) and spending time with family and friends.
There will be rants, rats and grinches to be sure - and I'm not sure we could appreciate the goodness without a bit of them. I'd rather not have such a weighted news towards the negative and violent - but rather towards a balance where we hear about the good, the bad and the ugly equally. Even if it requires more effort to find and tell about the good! Wouldn't that be a kicker?
I have been away from scrapbooking a bit with helping my hubby study for exams and doing my jobs - but I got a few new digital pages done, am working on the rest of my corn kit and have thoughts of doing some paper and hybrid pages soon. I even got my scrapbooking table and goodies semi-sorta-kinda-maybe organized enough to work on a layout or two.
The snow has started to have smaller flakes, not the big fluffly ones from this morning. It's warmer though and I hope the cold stays away for a while - this is just about perfect weather for me. My birds are eating, my dogs are snuggled down in their straw beds and the cows and horses are eating. Luke is protesting a nap and I'm deciding what to make for lunch. Earl is on the second last exam of this term (go Aggies!) and then we are going to have a bit of a Christmas break!
I'll post some pages and some freebie goodies soon...maybe a rant or two but no promises ;-)
Love and brigt blessings!

Several MacArthur grantees have helped put key facts and analysis on the public record regarding a new nuclear facility in North Korea. In late October, The Institute for Science and International Security used publicly available satellite photos to identify the uranium enrichment facility and its potential. On November 21, Sig Hecker at Stanford University visited the facility as part of a Stanford University team supported by MacArthur, and was reportedly "stunned" by the facility's sophistication. The Stanford team also included John Lewis and Bob Carlin. The New York Times reported on the facility and its possible significance.

Workshop on GRID based systems for Complex Problem Solving
29-30 January 2003
General Information
New : Draft workshop agenda is now online .
From 29 January 2003 (starting at 10am) to 30 January 2003 (finishing at 4pm) Unit F2 of DG Information Society is organising a workshop on " Grid based systems for Complex Problem Solving " in Brussels (venue: "Centre Borschette", 36 Rue Froissart, 1040 Brussels ).

Conclusion/Key Questions
Marxism Definition
The doctrines of Karl Marx and his associate Friedrich Engels on economics, politics, and society. They include the notion of economic determinism — that political and social structures are determined by the economic conditions of people.
Marxist Approach of Animal Farm
Maximillian Arndt Perris
"Marxism" is essentially Marx's analysis of the complex and developing relations between the Bourgeois and the proletariat.
A manuscript written by Marx published in 1941.
The ruling class must keep the workers subjected to their authority, yet are dependent upon their labor for wealth.
Labor is reproduced through wages.
Alienation results when humans become dominated by the force of their own creation (money, religion, etc.).
Was a man of thought
Obtained his Ph.D in philosophy, and later became a free-lance writer
Influenced by Ideals of Romanticism where Marx developed a concern for individuals and collective struggles.
Human history is man made and therefore humans must realize happiness in this life.
Marx realized, through Engels, the concrete conditions and misery of the working class. This helped him realize all of history was a class struggle.
Every class struggle is a political struggle, therefore there is a connection of politics and the economy.
Society is divided into two major classes:
– The working class (creators of the means of production)
– The owners of capital.
Karl Marx
Hegel thought that objectivity is a product of the mind's activity. Humans fall into "bondage" of the laws and events that we create. Marx developed ideas of reification through this concept.
Marx used Hegel's notions to construct ideas that society is a construct of human's and can therefore be shaped and reshaped by humans.
Feuerbach furthered Marx's ideas on religion by stating that God is merely a human projection, and that humans place God above themselves. This acts as an alienation process for humans.
Marx was influenced by Kant's philosophy that antagonism between men was the ultimate driving force in history. Conflict is inevitable.
George Orwell's
Animal Farm
is a perfect representation of a Marxist view of society, and parallels are intentionally made according with Karl Marx's ideals and philosophies.
Class Structure
In Marxism, Marxian class theory states that an individual's position within a class hierarchy is determined by their role in the production process, and argues that political and ideological consciousness is determined by class position.
Marxian Class Theory in
Animal Farm
In Marxist socio-political thought, the dictatorship of the proletariat refers to a state in which the proletariat have control of political power. In Marxist theory, the dictatorship of the proletariat is what exists between capitalism and communism. It is a democratic state characterized by the existence of organs of class rule, where the whole of the public authority is elected. It is the defeat of the bourgeois state, but not yet of the capitalist mode of production. (This is a Marxist's ideal form of government)
Animal Farm
there are strong instances of class rule and separation, and a Marxist would compare the separation to the government of today and feel it is unequal.
Marxian Class Theory in
Animal Farm
A Marxist would say that
Animal Farm
is a unequal dictatorship classified under the Bourgeoisie-Proletariat split
The pigs in the novel are the bourgeoisie because they are the ruling class and own capital
All the other animals would be the proletariat because they work towards the pigs' benefit
In the novel each side is exaggerated and portrays extremes within each side of the capitalist spectrum
Political Structure
Karl Marx's ideas about the state can be divided into three subject areas: pre-capitalist states, states in the capitalist (i.e. present) era, and the state (or absence of one) in post-capitalist society.
Animal Farm
starts off as a Capitalist state, where the bourgeoisie of the farmer controls the animals and their product
"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself." (4)
Animal Farm
then changes into a post-capitalist state.
After the revolution the animals own the farm and create a set of equal laws
Although post capitalist states are described as anarchist and radical, in
Animal Farm
, it is efficient and more equal
The farm then, progressively grows back into a capitalist state, with the pigs as leaders
Political Structure Cont.
Socialism in
Animal Farm
Socialism is a social and economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy.
'For the people' aspect

Animal Farm
George Orwell's
Animal Farm
is a representation of a Marxist view of society. The Marxist views on class structure, government and socialism all reveal
Animal Farm'
intentional parallels to Karl Marx's ideals and philosophies.
Marx would classify the middle of the story as his description of socialist, pigs with the animals
Would not be socialist at beginning or end with corrupt leaders
Can society ever break the loop of historic repetition, and if so, will society be corrupt?

Ultimate Trend
About two years ago I purchased a World Models Ultimate 40S biplane, GMS47 engine, pitts muffler, servos, ect.....
I was going to fly it that spring. Shortly after, my first child arrived and shortly after that, we got our first house. And then I got into helis. The list of excuses goes on.
A few weeks ago I was going though some of my RC plane stuff (still packed away from the move almost two years ago) and eyed the Ultimate Bipe still in the box. I have a T-Rex 450 flying on a 3S 2100 lipo pack. I picked up an electric P-38 from a club memeber that flies on that same pack. So I got to thinking....sure would be nice to fly an Ultimate on that pack. But the 40 size Bipe is way to big so I sold it in favor of Great Planes new Reactor Bipe.
So, Dilema solved.
Now my plan is to fly it this spring....see the trend?
But this time for real!

Young Girl's Tardis Gets Stolen, Internet Gives Her a New One

It took months to make but that didn't matter to the person who stole it off their yard. Luckily the internet loves a geek, and reddit users combined forces to get Iadevaia a new one. Yay, internet!

Would you believe that upgrading the RAM will cause a major issue in your PC? Well, believe it!Afer the RAM upgrade the AVS now did not workany more in my Q1. I have spent the whole weekend trying to make it work. And all I got is a huge headache. And the worse thing is that1 could not find any documentation. I restored the AVS partition about 3 times. I restored the whole device including the Tablet PC partition one time. And Nothing , Nada!.
There was somebody claiming about a solution but the fact is that it worked only for a few apparently those that never booted in AVS before the upgrade.
Another amazing fact is that many of current owners have the same situation but they are happy with that.
I'm very disappointed to tell the truth.I'll start contacting Samsung about this situation on Monday.

Lebanon election delayed again; Coalition may use simple majority vote
Hours after a parliamentary session to elect a new president was delayed again for an eighth time, leaders of the ruling "March 14" coalition hinted at resorting to elections by a simple majority. According to Naharnet, MP Wael Abu Faour said after meeting Maronite patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir Turesday morning: "We do not rule out any possibility, be it elections by a majority vote of half-plus-one or not."
On his part, Lebanese Interior Minister Ahmad Fatfat also told the Voice of Lebanon radio station on Tuesday that March 14 "did not at all abandon the half-plus-one option." "This is a constitutional alternative," Fatfat noted.
An overnight statement issued by Speaker Nabih Berri's office said presidential elections were postponed till next Monday, Dec. 17. The postponement was necessary "in order to allow for more consultation to agree on the election of a new president for the country," the statement said.
The statement by Berri's office came minutes after MPs from the ruling coalition announced a boycott of Tuesday's session amid refusal by the opposition to amend the constitution to allow the army chief to be elected president.
"In the absence of this, the deputies of the March 14 majority will not go to parliament to express their rejection of any attempt to violate the constitution," the statement added.

The Tug Boat, stood near the Stanley Baracks since 1971. Now (June 2012) relocated to Toronto Island, as per info from the moving crew. I saw them moving it as I was biking by one day in June.
Designed by naval architect John Stephen, the 75 ft. (23 m.) long, 184-ton vessel.. Ned Hanlan was built by the Toronto Dry Dock Company in its shipyard located on the north side of Villiers St. in today's Portlands. Ned was launched in 1932 until retired from active service in 1967 ..
Ned Hanlan 1880-84 - World single-sculls rowing champion (defended championship six times). Ned Hanlan was Canada's most prominent athlete of the 19th century, at a time when rowing was one of this country's most popular spectator sports. Born on Toronto Island, Hanlan learned to row in Toronto Bay, using the route to go back and forth to school or to transport bootleg liquor for his father, depending on who was telling the story. His father operated a hotel on Toronto Island, and the press would later use Hanlan's Irish, working-class roots to style him as a hero of Canada's working people.

I don't mean to brag, but I made a couple of bad choices that led to a good choice this week.
Choice 1: I'd purchased a really long, skinny loaf of French bread from the grocery store. I don't remember what I bought it for now; but, whatever good intentions I had fell apart. While my intentions fell apart, the French bread loaf got firmer.
Choice 2: I chose to ignore the issue. It didn't go away.
Choice 3: I decided I would try to redeem myself. It might've been too late, but I was willing to take a knife to my now brick-like loaf of bread. The result is delicious, and now I have good intentions of using these buttery beauties upon a salad. I'll let you know how my salad choice goes.
In the meantime, here is my homemade buttery croutons recipe. It's versatile and dependable… even when our intentions are not.
Preheat oven to 375F.
- 1 long, skinny cheap loaf of grocery store French bread (or a short, chubby one)
- 1 cup (yup, two sticks) unsalted butter
- 3 T. garlic powder (or 4-5 fresh garlic cloves)
- Light dusting of sea salt
Allow loaf of French bread to sit out uncovered over night. Using a bread knife cut the loaf of French bread into about 1/2 to 3/4 inch squares. Spread squares over a half sheet pan (preferably one with edges).
Melt butter completely over low heat. At the end, add garlic powder or minced garlic if using fresh. Stir together.
How the buttery goodness kisses the bread cubes is up to you. I like quickly dipping a spoonful of squares into the butter with a slotted spoon, then placing them back onto the tray. Some might prefer to drizzle. Some may prefer to mix them all together in a large bowl. Whatever your method, make sure the bread cubes are well-covered with butter mixture.
Place all butter-coated bread cubes upon the tray again. Spread them out well. Dust a wee bit of sea salt over the croutons.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until croutons are golden brown as pictured. You may like to toss them a bit mid way through the baking cycle.
Other things you can add to the butter mixture include Beau Monde spice (celery flavor), onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, etc.
Get creative. After all, it's your very own bad bad good choice.

Rainbow Serpent Festival announces first line-up for 2014
Over the Australia Day weekend in 2014, Rainbow Serpent will once again stretch across four days deep in the Victorian bush. This will be the 17th edition of the festival, expected to draw over 10,000 people in January. Now the first names have been revealed, and there'll be a lot more to follow. Two of the finest DJs around for parties under the stars, Donato Dozzy and Michael Mayer, are on the bill. Then there's favourites like King Unique and FreQ Nasty, plus more from across the electronic music spectrum.
"Part of our goal every year is to find outstanding, contemporary talent from a range of genres and countries," Festival Director Tim Harvey puts it. "We're really excited because, as amazing as the currently announced acts are, they are only a hint of what is to come with some very big announcements on the horizon." The 2014 festival will be held from 24 January and tickets go on sale to public in late July.
With the last-minute addition of Sasha to the line-up, the 2013 edition of Rainbow Serpent left an indelible mark. As our reviewer wrote: "The beauty of Rainbow 2013 will live on through shared memories with old friends and new, and the anticipation of 2014 will soon be born in the meticulous planning of costumes, the hard-rubbish scoping for couches, and the unfathomable preparatory details sketched anew by the event's organisers. You might think this level of random happens by chance, but as every patron and festival organiser knows, this is no accident."
Rainbow Serpent 2014 first line-up:
Donato Dozzy
Michael Mayer
King Unique
FreQ Nasty
Zion Train
The Funk Hunters
Dub Kirtan Allstars
Shane Gobi
Banco De Gala
Hux Flux
Nico Stojan

The Future Kings are an indie pop-rock band based in the the Kansas City area. These days bands work much the same as traditional small businesses. They have always had visual representation, marketing, public relations and more, but today all of this largely falls on the shoulders of the bands rather than in the past when a record label might have picked them up.
Since the album was going to be on vinyl the cover would be a substantial size and the band wanted something that people might want to display as art. Vinyl has become a popular medium again usually with digital downloads included.
Bands don't always have a traditional logos so the way their name is displayed can sometimes change especially in the beginning. Wanting the name to stand out, but still integrate into the cover, which is meant to draw attention anyway, the band name was set in two colors with manipulated type to marry the words. The name is bright enough to stand out, but soft enough to blend with all that's going on with the cover.
The project not only included digital downloads with a band sticker to go along with the vinyl album, but t-shirt designs as well pulling from the album cover

text: I'm off to Guatemala for ten days at the start of July and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about great places to eat or good dishes to try. There's a good chance that we'll be in Tikal, Flores, Rio Dulce, Copan, Chichicastenango, Antigua, and Guatemala City. It seems like there are a lot of places geared towards tourists, I'm mostly looking for recommendations of great Guatemalan or other central american food.

A 16-year-old girl found dead in Vienna on Friday has been identified as Emylee Lonczak, a student at McLean High School, according to a letter from the principal.
Fairfax County police are awaiting the medical examiner to determine the cause and manner of the McLean girl's death, but spokesman Bud Walker said they "are confident. . .there is no threat to the neighborhood or public at large."
Officers found Lonczak's body in the 8200 block of Madrillon Estates Drive around 11 a.m. on Friday. She had been reported as a runaway.
"Emylee Lonczak was a rising 11th grader at our school," McLean High School Principal Ellen T. Reilly wrote in her letter to school families. "She was a cherished student who will be greatly missed by all who knew her."
An obituary from a local funeral home said Lonczak is survived by her parents and six siblings.

Chapter 31:
Faraday's law of induction
Reading assignment: Chapter 31
Homework 31 (Apirl 30): HW 31: CQ10, QQ1, QQ2, QQ3, QQ4, OQ1, OQ2, OQ3, OQ4, OQ5, OQ6, OQ7, OQ10, AE1, AE8, 3, 4, 31, 20, 23, 36, 37
Can a magnetic field produce an electric current?
Faraday: A steady magnetic field produces no current
Faraday: A changing magnetic field does produce a current. This current is called induced current.
Induced emf is produced by a changing magnetic field
Negative current
No current
Positive current
Remember Magnetic flux
Product of the normal component of the magnetic field passing through a loop of area A.
Unit of flux FB is Weber (1W) = Tesla·meter2
The strength of the B field is proportional to the number of lines per unit area.
Thus the flux FB is proportional to the total number of normal lines passing through the coil.
Faraday's law of Induction
If the flux through N loops of wire changes by an amount DFB during a time Dt, the induced emf during this time is:
A coil consists of 200 turns of wire. Each turn is a square of side d = 18 cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicularly to the plane of the coil is turned on. If the field changes from 0 to 50 T in 0.8 s, what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil, while the field is changing?
The flexible loop in the figure below has a radius of 12.0 cm and is in a magnetic field of magnitude 0.150 T. The loop is grasped at points A and B and stretched until its area is nearly zero. If it takes 0.200 s to close the loop, what is the magnitude of the average induced emf in it during this time interval?
Lenz's law – what is the direction of the current?
An induced emf always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in flux
Induction stove.
Some modern stove burners a based on induction. An ac current passes around a coil that is the "burner" (that never gets hot). Why will it heat a metal pan, but not a glass pan?
The AC current sets up a changing magnetic field that passes through the bottom of the pan. This changing magnetic field induces a current through the pan bottom, and since the pan offers resistance, electric energy is transformed into heat, heating the pot and its contents.
Works very well with steel pots.
Does not work well with aluminum pots (magnetic field does not penetrate far enough no good induction current).
Does also not work on non-conducting pots. Resistance in glass container is too high, very little current is induced.
Application - Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
Practice with Lenz's law.
In which direction is the current induced in the coil for each situation in the Figure?
Counterclockwise current
Clockwise current
No current
Can't be determined

Black board example
Pulling a coil from a magnetic field.
A square coil of 5.0 cm contains 100 loops and is positioned perpendicular to a uniform 0.60 T magnetic field. It is quickly and uniformly pulled from the field (perpendicular to B) to a region where B drops abruptly to zero. It takes 0.1 seconds for the coil to reach the field-free region.
(a) Find the change in flux through the coil.
(b) Find the emf and current induced if the resistance of the coil is 100 W.
How much energy is dissipated in the coil if its resistance is 100 W?
Motional emf - emfinduced in a moving conductor
Look at the Figure:
Uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the area bounded by the U-shaped conductor.
Movable rod resting on it.
Rod is moving at speed v; travels a distance Dx = v·Dt
Area of the loop increases DA = l·Dx = l·v·Dt
By Faraday's law there is an induced emf:
Direction of current can be obtained by right hand rule (remember F = qvB) or Lenz's law.
Pulling a coil through a magnetic field.
A rectangular metallic loop of dimensions l and w and resistance R moves with constant speed v to the right as shown in the figure. The loop passes through a uniform magnetic field directed into the page and extending 3w along the x-axis.
Plot the magnetic flux, the emf and the applied force.
Faraday's law in general form: A changing magnetic flux produces an electric field
We just saw that a changing magnetic flux induces an emf, and a current in a conducting loop.
A current implies there is an electric field in the conductor.
Thus, a changing magnetic field (changing magnetic flux) induces an electric field!
The E-field is perpendicular to the B-field
Electric Generators (Dynamo)
Or: How to convert mechanical into electrical energy?
Right hand rule for induction:
thumb – Induced current (Force on charge)
index finger – velocity of wire;
middle finger – B-field
emf (voltage) produced by a generator
Magnetic flux:
The coil is rotating with angular velocity w. Then q = wt
For N loops, we get an emfof:
A rectangular loop of wire 20 cm by 20 cm with 50 turns is rotated rapidly in a magnetic field B, so that the loop makes 60 full rotations a second. At t = 0 the loop is perpendicular to B.
What is the EMF generated by the loop, in terms of B at time t?
What B-field do we need to get a maximum voltage of 170 V?
loop of wire

JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour is letting lawmakers know that he is not happy with the Senate's proposed budget for K-12 spending. The Governor's Office released the following statement:
"I am disappointed the Senate ignored the difficult budget situation we face by voting to spend $81 million more on MAEP than the level funding proposed in my budget.
"We will see little if any revenue growth in the coming years, and we must consider all state needs as funds are appropriated. Putting more state money into education when we have $85 million in federal funding available means we jeopardize how much we will have to spend in coming years.
"To ignore the money our school districts have received through federal education jobs funding will result in other agencies receiving less funding and will nearly eliminate any reserves for the following year.
"I thank Senate Appropriations Chairman Doug Davis for his efforts to steer his colleagues in a fiscally responsible direction and the 22 senators who voted against this irresponsible funding plan."
