Consumers and Individuals in China
Standing Out, Fitting In
By Michael B. Griffiths

Series: Chinese Worlds
Routledge – 2012 – 236 pages
Series: Chinese Worlds
Breaking new ground in the study of Chinese urban society, this book applies critical discourse analysis to ethnographic data gathered in Anshan, a third-tier city and market in northeast China. The book confronts the – still widespread – notion that Chinese consumers are not "real" individuals, and in doing so represents an ambitious attempt to give a new twist to the structure versus agency debates in social theory. To this end, Michael B. Griffiths shows how claims to virtues such as authenticity, knowledge, civility, sociable character, moral proprietary and self-cultivation emerge from and give shape to social interaction. Data material for this path-breaking analysis is drawn from informants as diverse as consumerist youths, dissident intellectuals, enterprising farmers, retired Party cadres, the rural migrant staff of an inner-city restaurant, the urban families dependent on a machine-repair workshop, and a range of white-collar professionals.
Consumers and Individuals in China: Standing out, fitting in, will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural studies scholars, China Studies generalists, and professionals working at the intersection of culture and business in China. The vivid descriptions of living and doing fieldwork in China also mean that those travelling there will find the book stimulating and useful
"What is most pleasing is the sense that Griffiths really knows what he's talking about. Living in Anshan for several years conducting field research, he evidently engaged in local life in a real grassroots manner. Too often talk of "Chinese consumers" has referred to the high-end, high net-worth end of the market, omitting the lives and cultures of the 99%. Griffiths' book however sets itself squarely within the migrant workers, low-scale entrepreneurs, farmers and former factory workers of Anshan." - Michael Cormack, managing editor of Agenda magazine; Agenda February 2013.

Civil War Artifacts in the Smithsonian
The museum collections house many items from the Civil War, including photographs, uniforms and personal diaries
- By Smithsonian.com
- Smithsonian.com, March 04, 2011
(National Portrait Gallery)
National Portrait Gallery
This caricature of Abraham Lincoln, titled Knight of the Rueful Countenance, comes from the pro-Confederate Sketches from the Civil War in North America, by Adalbert J. Volck. A dentist by trade, Volck immigrated to the United States in 1848 from Germany. Living in Baltimore, he turned Southern sympathizer, smuggling medical supplies to Virginia and producing propaganda that vilified Lincoln, abolitionists and Union soldiers. Here the artist portrays Lincoln as a Don Quixote-like character, with John Brown's pike, a satanic-looking helmet, an ax and rail (campaign symbols) and a cannon-shaped inkwell. The president rests his foot on books titled "Constitution," "Law" and "Habeas Corpus," while on his desk are documents that list Union defeats.
"There is a dearth of authentic visual material from the South or from the Southern point of view," says Wendy Wick Reaves, curator of prints and drawings. These are "a treasure trove in terms of telling the Confederate side of the story." Volck's supposed 200 copies of Sketches must have been distributed clandestinely. Because of the Union occupation of Baltimore, he couldn't ship his prints to the South, so they probably weren't widely available. They became better known after the war. "Adalbert Volck's Confederate Sketches" opens at the National Portrait Gallery on March 30, 2012.

In Picture 12/20, there is a black civil war soldier titled "Daguerreotype of Unknown Black Civil War Soldier" with the description "a black man from the waist up, dressed in a button-down cap and holding a rifle against his left shoulder, is undoubtedly of a Union soldier." It appears that he has what looks to be a buck tail on his hat, just like the famous Pennsylvania regiments that were nicknamed "The Bucktails." I had never heard of any African-American units using the same symbol and I was wondering if there was a connection there at all. I tried to Google image search the picture, but to no avail. Anyone know anything further?

These were Federal Dead, not Confederate dead. Which is really rare for Battlefield death pictures.

Could this diary ever be made into a book, to be read by the public?

Wasn't that the table Phil Sheridan gave to George Custer as a present to Libbie? If so, was it she who donated the table to the Smithsonian after her husband died at the Little Big Horn?

It always amazes me how technology and medical advancements blossom during war, aviation being a prime example.
With medicine, it is at the time we are destroying limbs and lives that we do the most to restore and save.
Kinda sad, and yet hopeful...

The Lincoln cartoon shows what looks to be Lt. Gen. W. Scott in the picture on the wall.
Posted by Ray Simons on August 9,2011 | 08:21 AM
I suggest the caricature shows Lincoln not as a Don Quixote-like figure but almost certainly Hamlet, Prince of the Danes, the dark, mad, morally corrupt and doomed Shakespearean figure well-known to Americans in the mid-19th century.
Posted by Scott on June 30,2011 | 10:01 PM
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to view and read the pages of Adam Francis Plummer's Diary as a link to this slide show. I personally think it would add alot to this online article/pictorial.
Posted by A Genealogist on May 3,2011 | 11:28 PM
Due to it being President Lincoln's hat there is no doubt it was made of the finest beaver short hair. When the pelt was processed, they used some type of a combination comb & cutter to remove all the longer more coarse hair from the beaver pelt. When finished with the complete more elaborate process all that remained was the short, very fine, and softer under hair. I don't know if top-hats where made of any other materials but no respectable gentleman would wear one not made of beaver. This style was fashionable all over the world with the upper-classes for many years, putting a huge demand and value on beaver's pelt. The demand for these valuable pelts, led to the exploration and eventual settling of the Western and North Western territories of North America years before it would have taken place otherwise! If the wealthy had worn hats made of a different material, it could have been many more years before any of the gold rushes! The only thing that saved the beaver from extinction was, they where just as busy about there reproduction as they are about everything else and unfortunately the top-hat fell out of style! Japanese dignitaries were probably the last peoples to figure out the top-hat was no longer in style, as they still sported them proudly until the late 1940's!

Not all slaves were forbidden from learning to read and write. Just because the majority of them were kept illiterate does not mean they all were. Some needed to be able to read, write, and do sums simply because their duties necessitated such. Some, and these were the fortunate few, were children of the house slaves were able to learn as the children of the plantation owners did if they had a private tutor who taught them in their early years so the child had someone to learn with. There were as many different situations as there were plantations.

I'm curious about how and where Mr. Plummer gained his literacy. Slaves were forbidden from learning to read and write.

New data shows that teen pregnancy rates in Potter and Randall counties are at their lowest, since records have kept, according to the state.
Members of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Coalition keep an eye on those numbers and also educate about teen pregnancy.
Potter county has declined steadily since 1998, it's highest rate, 54.1 percent. The rate now is about 30 percent.
Randall county at it's highest in 2008, 14.9 percent, is down to 10.5 percent.
"While the decrease is good news, we realize that we still have a lot of work to do." said Myrna Raffkind. "Hopefully teens are realizing that teen pregnancy does indeed have consequences and isn't all "fun and games."
The decline in the rate has been attributed to programs that help teens understand pregnancy and how the media is portraying teen pregnancy.
Earlier in the year a report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that even though teen pregnancy rates were down among all ethnicities across the United States, the state of Texas ranked fourth in the nation with 52.2 of every 1,000 teen girls getting pregnant. New Mexico ranked second in the nation with 52.9 percent.
Impact Futures will give a presentation on Teens, Sex, and Alcohol Use/Abuse, Wednesday, Sept. 19th, at the United Way offices in Amarillo from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.

These fleeces are light weight but very warm which makes them excellent as an extra layer for when it gets cooler in the evening or as a warm top after getting changed at the beach as we used it. Not too bulky so fits under coats or body warmers well.
08/05/2013 10:34:27
I have previously purchased Kid's Microfleece for my children. They a light weight + durable and wash well. The range of colours make them more 'fashionable' especially for girls!! I would recommend this product.
21/03/2013 00:12:09
I bought this for my 6 yr old son as a little jacket to wear with his gillet or under his waterfproof. As with my daughters fleece, it has the zip top covered to protect his chin.
01/07/2013 10:03:13
A great little fleece for my daughter. Had one last year which she wore loads, but has now grown out of so I wanted to get another one.
06/04/2013 13:29:27
Bought as a summer inner for my grandaughter along with a matching colour waterproof jacket, or a stand alone jumper.

My daughter hasn't taken this jumper off for 2 days, she says it is very warm, soft and snug

Seated Liberty Half Dimes were made from 1837 to 1873 with quite a few minor type variations. Seated Liberty Half Dimes were minted at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco.
Lots of scarce and rare dates exist in this popular series with the 1870-S Seated Liberty Half Dime being the ultimate rarity – only a single example is known!
A fantastic blast white example of this scarce type!
Large Date. Crisp white luster and a sharp strike.
CAC stickered. Large Date. A beautiful example of the short-lived 'No Stars' type. Extremely well struck with crisp frosty luster, a faint golden hue and no significant marks. Very conservatively graded!
Modestly priced for a blast white early half dime in ms-66.
CAC approved. No Drapery. A wonderful Gem example of this early Seated Half Dime; the second year of the series and the first with stars on the obverse. The strike is very sharp and the radiant brilliant luster has the the faintest touch of gold and seems to jump right off the coin! This is truly an exceptional coin!
No Stars. Splendid warm gray with even strike and great eye appeal. First year of production for the New Orleans mint and the only business strike coin made. A 2-year variety with a tiny mintage of 70,000 vs. the previous date of 1837 with just over 1.4 million minted.
CAC. No Drapery. Razor sharp strike with virtually flawless surfaces, rich mint luster and a blush of golden toning. Outstanding quality!
No Drapery. Light russet toning blended with fiery mint luster, An extremely sharp strike and virtually no marks!
CAC approved. Splashes of russet gray tone over rich frosty luster with the appearance of just coming from an old time collection. Needle sharp strike.
CAC approved. A beautiful coin with rich mint luster beneath soft shades of violet and ivory. The strike is needle-sharp and there are very few marks.
Attractive blend of russet and flowing luster.
Frosty white luster and a sharp strike.
Very pleasing with nice charcoal and silver-gray surfaces.
No Arrows. Very well struck with no significant marks and bright white luster. The 'No Arrows' 1853 half dime is very scarce with a mintage of just 135,000 compared to over 13 million of the 'Arrows' type!
Arrows. Delicate russet toning with beautiful blazing luster showing thru. Virtually perfect surfaces, incredibly well struck, and just a delightful coin!
Arrows. Frosty white luster and well struck. Nearly a Gem.
Short-lived 'Arrows' type. Extremely well struck with rich luster and faint champagne-gold toning. Only 4 coins graded higher at NGC.
1857 is one of the highest mintage dates in the series and some of the nicest Stars Obverse Seated Half Dimes come from this date. This example is blast white with no trace of toning and minimal abrasions. An excellent coin for a top quality type set!
A beautiful richly toned Gem with tones of lavender, green and gold in the deeply reflective fields and a lovely greenish-gold on the heavily frosted devices. 1859 was the first year the U.S. Mint offered proofs to the public with proofs prior to that date being very elusive. Only 100 of these were minted!

Joe Davidson calls EPA's OCR "a disaster area"
In today's Washington Post, columnist Joe Davidson says, "If the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Civil Rights were a chunk of ground, it would be declared a disaster area." Mr. Davidson recounts the findings made by Deloitte Consulting in a report released last month. He also noted the call made by the National Whistleblowers Center to oust OCR's director, Rafael DeLeon. EPA spokesperson Adora Andy told Mr. Davidson that EPA would look into our allegations about Mr. DeLeon's off-color remarks. EPA said the same thing to POLITICO on Monday. How long does it take to ask Mr. DeLeon if he called Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo and Ms. Susan Morris "pink elephants?" How long does it take to ask him if he chided Dr. Coleman-Adebayo for being a "Rosa Parks of the EPA" or if he referred to a lapdance at a staff party? Or, is EPA unsure if a director of the "Office of Civil Rights" should do any of these things? Joe Davidson's article could give these questions the prominence we need to get some answers soon. Thank you, Mr. Davidson.

Global Forest Watch
Coming soon: A powerful, near-real-time forest monitoring system that unites satellite technology, data sharing, and human networks around the world to fight deforestation.
Global Forest Watch (GFW) is a forthcoming initiative that seeks to revolutionize the global fight against deforestation by mobilizing new technologies and human networks to provide timely information on the state of the world's forests. Convened by the World Resources Institute and a host of partners, GFW will combine near-real-time satellite monitoring technology, forest management and company concession maps, protected areas maps, mobile technology, crowd-sourced data, and on-the-ground networks to promote transparency in forests around the world.
The GFW platform is intended for use by stakeholders in the world's forests – concerned citizens, government leaders, buyers and suppliers of sustainable forest products – who seek to better manage forests and improve local livelihoods.
GFW is currently in development. To learn more or participate in the pilot testing period, please e-mail email@example.com.
For media inquiries, please contact James Anderson, Communications Officer, World Resources Institute (email@example.com, 202-729-7608).

I originally posted this over at www.dmaemailblog.com
One factor which is often overlooked with regards to email deliverability is the health of a sending domain name. The actual 'from' domain plays a very important job when it comes to getting your emails delivered to your subscriber's inbox.
Apart from the (very important) basics, such as the power of brand recognition, there are many unseen factors to do with your domain name, which may be preventing your emails to be delivered as successfully as they could be.
The main things to be aware of are:
1: Authentication
2: Reverse DNS
3: Active sending 'from' address
4: Active Abuse@ and Postmaster@ addresses
5: Whether the domain is blacklisted
Let's take a quick look at each of these influencing factors:
1: Authentication
Authentication is a key factor to good deliverability and is growing steadily in importance and use. The main types of authentication which need to be done on a domain are SPF, SenderID, Domain keys or DKIM. You can download a whitepaper by Return Path here which explains more about it.
2: Reverse DNS
Reverse DNS (RDNS) is a very basic, yet important factor in the health of a domain. Many ISP's will not deliver a message from a domain which doesn't have a RDNS and there are some blacklists out there that will put you on their list for this as well. You can check your RDNS at www.dnsstuff.com
3: Active sending 'from' address
Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise -the ISP's do check these, so make sure that your sending address is active and monitored. If it isn't, there's a good chance that not only will the emails not be delivered, but that you may get blacklisted.
4: Active Abuse@ and Postmaster@ addresses
Ensure both these addresses are active and monitored. ISP's, system administrators and blacklists all check to see if these are functioning addresses. It is also advisable to register the domain at www.abuse.net.
5: Whether the domain is blacklisted
This a very obvious thing to do, but you'd be surprised how many companies don't have it scheduled to do on a regular basis. A free service which allows you to do this is www.robtex.com.

Do Cigarette Bans Enhance Property Values?
Posted by Jonathan J. Miller -Saturday, March 24, 2012, 1:00 PM
Comments Off
Brick Underground published an article on smoking bans in buildings a few weeks ago that continues to have legs on it – it just appeared in AM New York as well.
I am not a smoker. I'm highly allergic to smoke and tobacco. A number of relatives of mine have died from lung cancer, second hand smoke and other smoking related illnesses. I wish people wouldn't smoke (and better able to quit) so I struggle to be neutral in my view of it's impact on property values.
My quote on the issue for the Brick Underground piece was:
"I am not aware of any compelling studies that provide empirical evidence proving a smoking ban impacts values one way or another," said Jonathan Miller, president and CEO of Miller Samuel, a real estate appraisal and consulting firm. "Personally, I would think such a ban would be slightly more of a help to values than a hindrance, since the number of smokers are on the decline — and the idea of selling the health benefits of a lack of secondhand smoke would be a plus."
The policy momentum of our society has grown with the elimination of smoking on airplanes, public transportation, commercial buildings, public spaces and they all speak to the issue of invasiveness. Forcing non-smokers to breath something that has been shown to be unhealthy, even lethal, is no longer tolerated and anti-smoking public policy continues to expand.
So the issue as it relates to multi-family housing would seems to be the next shoe to drop with public policy. Perhaps that is already happening and I'm not aware of it.
Even though a smoker may own their residence and have the right to enjoy it as they see fit, the impact of their behavior moving outside their domicile (i.e. smoke permeating walls and air exchanges) would seem to be invasive and not their right.
With possibly one exception
Grandfathering. As an apartment homeowner, they may have had the right to smoke when the property was purchased and I don't see how their bundle of rights as a property owner can be altered. They followed the rules and non-smokers who purchased during that era would be aware that there was no ban on smoking.
A new building that bans smoking from day one – that's not a problem.
But back to the valuation issue. I think I see more potential downside to property values in the long run within buildings that allow smoking to new buyers than to a value upside in buildings that never allowed smoking from day one.
Admittedly I'm merely voicing a subjective opinion. I'm relying on the logic that societal norms will continue to move away from public smoking tolerance.
And that's not a drag.

High-output single-coil sound with none of the noise.
No humbucking pickup sounds exactly like a vintage single-coil, but the Cruiser is about as close as it gets. The special dual-resonance design allows one coil to act as a woofer and the other as a tweeter. This extends the range of the noise-canceling design and allows the best qualities of each coil to be enhanced while fine tuning the output. There is less magnetic pull, and it still sounds clean, clear, and bright. Output: 140mV.
Recommended for neck position with DP187, or neck & middle with hotter bridge like Fast Track 1, Chopper, Pro Track, or full-size humbuckers (See recommended accessories box on this page).
Get the scorching single-coil sounds you need by putting this pickup in the basket NOW!

More than Ottoman minarets and beguiling bazaars, Turkey's cultural capital is also fashionable and progressive. Spanning both Asia and Europe and divided by the Bosphorus, Istanbul is a beguiling mix of ancient and modern, of conservative and secular. The hulking Byzantine Hagia Sophia and opulent Topkapi Palace dominate the old city Sultanahmet, but over in Karaköy, in a converted warehouse, the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art embraces the future.
Things to Do
Along Galata Bridge, fishermen looking for dinner dip their rods into the waters of the Golden Horn. Walk past them to buzzing, bazaar-filled Eminönü where locals stock up on fresh pistachios and crumbly sheep's cheese from the aromatic Spice Market. The sunset call to prayer from pencil-slim minarets brings welcome serenity, especially from mosques clustering the busy Old City, crammed with elegant Ottoman and Byzantine landmarks. Families crowd onto passenger boats at weekends to cruise the Bosphorus, Istanbul's real gem, past pastel-colored wooden summer houses.
At 500 years old, the sprawling Grand Bazaar in Beyazit remains vibrant -- carpet and gold dealers are as persuasive as in Mehmet the Conqueror's day. It's also the best place to haggle for an inlaid backgammon set. In Istanbul's modern Beyoglu, it's back to the 21st century along the packed, pedestrianized Istiklal Caddesi, lined with sleek bookshops and local fashion chains. Kitten-heeled shoppers find the latest designs in chic boutiques like Turkish designer Bahar Korcan in Nisantasi.
Nightlife and Entertainment
In cultured Istanbul, you're never far away from an arts, film or music festival. It may be opera in the cavernous Atatürk Cultural Centre in Taksim Square or summertime jazz in Cemil Topuzlu open-air theater in leafy Harbiye. Beyoglu is where Istanbul's revelers head to sip cocktails at fashionable rooftop bars or join friends at outdoor cafés with a tulip-shaped glass of tea. At funky Babylon club, catch the latest Balkan fusion band, or join football-mad fans on the terraces to cheer on Besiktas.
Restaurants and Dining
Busy Beyoglu has the best choices of mayhanes (traditional eating houses) and contemporary cuisine. On packed Nevizade street, waiters allure you into bustling restaurants, where platters of meze (garlicky dips and tangy salads) start off a typical Turkish dinner of grilled fish or skewered lamb, as fasil (gypsy) musicians play at your table. Locals have a real taste for international dishes, from sushi at Vogue in Besiktas to a bohemian brunch of eggs benedict at the waterfront House Café in village-like Ortaköy.
Find flights to Istanbul with American Airlines and get ready to experience this undeniably captivating city. From exploring the Spice Bazaar and shopping for fine rugs to exploring former palaces and seeing priceless ancient artifacts, there is a wide selection of fascinating things to do in Istanbul you won't want to miss.
One of the most memorable activities in Istanbul is visiting the Spice Bazaar (also called the Spice Market or the Egyptian Bazaar). It's one of the oldest markets in the city, with vaulted rooms housing sellers of spices, dried fruits, seeds and other edible delights. The sights -- and especially the smells -- are an experience to cherish. It's located at the southern end of the Galata Bridge on the Golden Horn. From the bridge, which is considered the heart of the city, you can see toward Europe on one side and toward Asia on the other.
Another one of our favorite activities in Istanbul revolves around shopping. A can't-miss is the Grand Bazaar, which is the largest covered market in the city, with thousands of shops. Here you'll be able to find everything -- Turkish rugs, pottery, apparel, pipes, copper teapots and so much more. There are also many restaurants here, so you could easily spend the better part of a day exploring every corner. Keep a close eye on your valuable as you move through the crowds, however. And start practicing your price-negotiating skills.
No list of things to do in Istanbul would be complete without including a stop at the Topkapi Sarayi Museum, or Palace of the Cannon Gate. It was once the very center of the Ottoman Empire, and the home of sultans for centuries. It's one of the most popular places to visit in Istanbul, with guided tours, beautiful grounds and multiple courtyards. Afterward, you can walk to the Archeological Museums and Gulhane Park, both worthy of the stroll. The Archeological Museums are in fact made up of three museums: Archeological Museum, Museum of the Ancient Near East and Tiled Kiosk. It's the Museum of the Ancient Near East that holds the most interest for many, with artifacts from Greece and Rome, including portions of the gates of Ninevah.
If a visit to the storied land of Turkey has piqued your interest, let American Airlines help you fly to Istanbul and discover the best of this compelling city.

TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphics cards, introduces the 2nd generation of the Vortex Edition: the PCS+ HD6770 Vortex II Edition. The advanced edition offers not only the flexibility of users to manually adjust the fan and its physical attributes; optimizing the air flow and balancing the ambient temperature; it features perforated fans that increase air flow up to 13%. These features result in cooling the temperature up to 25% when compared to reference designs. The PCS+ HD6770 Vortex II Edition also features factory overclocking with core and memory clocks at 900 MHz and 1225 MHz respectively. With the cooling ability seen in the Vortex Edition, it allows more headroom for overclocking that maximizes performance releasing more potential for gaming power. "The Vortex Technology has got the patent certificate by Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan," said Ted Chen, CEO of TUL Corporation. "There is no doubt that this innovative cooling technology can maximize its benefit which we created from the original technology last year. It's absolutely the best gaming solution in the performance segment." Also, the PowerColor PCS+ HD6770 Vortex edition utilizes "Gold Power Kit" which is composed of select components including: Shielded Alloy Choke, 3+1 Phases Design and solid capacitors. These components deliver an amazing gaming experience in a stable and efficient platform.
i love mid range card since it offers many custom layout (board and cooling sollution) and we could expect little bit better performance that reference card
Stupid car looking coolers... Look at the box picture. It looks like the Ferrari in micropage7's signature. Except in this case, a large fan fell on a car. I mean wtf!?
The car on the box picture looks more like a Chevy Camaro, with a stupid substitute for an air conditioner, to me. Me too, except when manufacturers start coming-up with silly coolers. If we combine Moore's law with Darwin's theory of evolution, then yes, coolers will evolve from 3 to 4 slots. And will grow limbs and kick you in the nuts when you screw up your OC.
combine "rebranded 5770" with both same cooler and "ugly" box cover design over first vortex's. this just not right..
I wonder if all these new rebrand cards (HD 6750, HD 6770, and GTX 560 non-ti) will be able to crossfire/sli with the originals (5750, 5770, and 460).
i think 560 not-ti like you mention is not fully rebranded like 5770, cause there's still a space available between 550 ti and 560 ti. wait till bench's out..

Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb Recipe
For those who enjoy a main course of lamb, here's a quick and delicious treatment for it. The easy preparation gives me the extra time I need to focus on other menu items.
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 frenched racks of lamb (1-1/2 pounds each)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, thyme and garlic. Add oil and toss; set aside. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat on both sides. Brush mustard over top of meat, then roll in crumb mixture.
- Place racks in a shallow baking pan side by side with bones interlaced resting against each other. Bake at 375° for 30-40 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 4 servings.

NASA 3D-printing parts for its next rocket headed for Mars
3D printing has captured the imaginations of just about anyone who knows what it is -- even NASA, apparently.
The space agency is using a similar technology to create precise metal parts for its next heavy-lift rocket, which it hopes will eventually help take humans to Mars.
The method is called selective laser melting, or SLM, but it's not quite the same as printing up a sweet "Star Wars" chess set out of extruded plastic. It's more of a cross between 3D printing and some high-end, defense-grade awesome tech.… Read more

Debt and the Centuries
Pluto at 5 Capricorn is spending a lot of concentrated time opposite the degree of USA Jupiter at 5 Cancer. Extreme losses and gains can accompany this transit, with extravagance and grand gestures. Jackpots and bankruptcy. One and the same.
So now we stand before our rotting mound of accumulation as it comes crashing down. The leveling. Society's wealth shifts like weather patterns responding to pressure. It would be good, so it seems, to have an even distribution all the time, but it doesn't quite follow that pattern. It moves up to the top, then back down, then up, down, skipping around on a wave of its own while we try to catch up, furiously attempting to learn how life works. The logic escapes us but it exists, undulating in an invisible rhythm. It's covered.
An exceptionally massive movement of wealth away from the lower classes to the rich is occurring now, and I can only conclude that it's part and parcel of the Pluto return. How far it goes is still in question. A cosmic bonfire might be in order to address that mountain created by all of us in our orgy of consumption, that thus far, is still in progress.
The rich are trying to protect the loot they acquired when the casino was going at full tilt. Wouldn't you?
With Uranus about, their global stashes are getting shaky, like everything and everyone else. Plus Capricorn likes it lean. No matter how hard people try to hoard their riches, they have an uncanny way of staying in motion. I wonder who will be putting what under the mattress. Money is hot, I think. We need a physicist to explain it.
An attempt to privatize government is underway, including longstanding social programs designed for all people, thus further entrenching the model of profit as the greatest goal however ruthlessly achieved. The battle between government as protector of big business versus the agent of public good has been the battle of this country from the beginning. The government is now merged with corporate power to the point of the system's demise. Either the companies transform, or the stranglehold ceases. A combination might be the end result. The philosophy (Jupiter) of government and business (Capricorn) is a good thing to look at with the ongoing Pluto transit. And that's the good part of these times. With Saturn in Libra, this nation has a natural talent for productive debate. And with the North Node in Sagittarius for awhile I expect the discussion about governance to continue as people argue the issues of spending and taxation. The melodramatic, excruciatingly painful emotionalism of the conversation is only normal. It's our style. Nothing to be alarmed about. Pluto opposite Jupiter in Cancer is the perfect setup for these excesses. And everybody hates the taxman whether they admit it or not. They hate meter maids too.
When the first settlers colonized America they were sponsored by European companies that demanded a profit beyond the basics in an inhospitable environment. In order to deliver, the new arrivals cast the native inhabitants as subhuman below their deer and buffalo, which the ruthless entrepreneurs coveted. They continually broke the treaties they ceremoniously agreed to. They murdered who they could and ultimately herded the rest onto lands of their own choosing. They also imported slaves doing anything and everything to satisfy their sponsors' demands. Unethical behavior was woven into the cloth from the start. It was interesting, though, that the freedom loving transient trappers and traders often dealt honestly with the American indigenous people. Fair trade was in the weave as well. Good trade was there and still is.
When the country was officially born, the intellectual ideals of equality were written into the script, but the reality once again favored business and the wealthy. Through the years, public well-being was addressed in varying degrees, but business crept diligently to the top of the power structure repeatedly, while government knelt at the alter.
Then came the cracking of worldwide cultures who were manipulated into becoming indebted to our ever active entrepreneurs who wished to take ownership of their resources. The crimes committed in these ventures will seek to neutralize themselves as the wheel of fortune spins.
How deep in collective molecular structure is the need for servitude to corporate sponsorship considering the start of the nation? Is it the only way to feel secure? Are the citizens masterminding the continuation of the bond or are they ready to venture away from parental control? These are the questions that will be asked with Pluto returning to 27 Capricorn. But before that happens, the power the companies have will increase enough to create a genuine schism, if that's what the citizens truly want, if and when they are ready to take things into their own hands in an attempt to take charge. Maybe in the beginning, the only way to escape oppression was to make a contract with these future oppressors, and maybe a chance to accept the contract is presented now with the Pluto return as the citizens learn to take their fair share. Learn to see their contribution to the drama.
Where is the source of authority and oppression? Who-what is anyone required to serve? Where is the hand that feeds us? All of us. And what exactly do we owe that hand? What is the contract? Where and how can each of us pay off the debt? Who owes whom what? Who deserves what and who is the judge? Where is the source of our survival, nourishment, and growth?
Eventually debt has to be paid, and neither the rich nor the poor are exempt from participating while this wheel of fortune completes its two and a half century revolution. Good trade. It starts small. Furs and beads.
Confusion like a gas pervades the paralysis while the crowd waits for the next cue. The next story. I mean, the next crisis. Where is the director? The traditional political game is ending and the Democratic-Republican nonsense is furiously winding down. The ordinary and familiar political roads are now blocked as Uranus in Aries leads society in new directions, still unknown. The radical nature of Uranus has brought about seemingly extreme behavior but it's the kick start of getting the group to move out of its depressed haze. Fairly soon, Uranus will move into Taurus and trine Pluto for seven years, a different ball of wax.
So now is the demolition. Trying to salvage the government in its current form would likely lead to failure. Joe Schmo for President won't cut it. If Pluto intends to help build a structure more suitable to the times, then there is no way of circumventing this uncertain phase, and there is no way in hell that any of these public figures will have a solution. Revolving jackasses on the midway in this carnival of suckers. Step right up and give them your spare billion.
We're on our own, the lesson of Aries-Capricorn. If the destruction is allowed to proceed to completion, then we will all have a say when the reconstruction comes. When Pluto transited Cancer during the Depression, the people were uprooted, losing homes, watching their security get ravaged. But that worked out OK. They got new ones with at least three toilets, rich green lawns, three-four stories, levels split all over the place, neverending upgrades, oversize garages for the three or so vehicles, and storage for the infinite number of gadgets they could not live without. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new government is going to look like, at least in its infant stages. I wish I could stick around to see it to maturity, but you know.... St. Peter. That's assuming my debts are paid.
In the meantime, what can one do to sort of keep it together while the system flies apart? I'll give you some ideas in the next installment.

Mike McDerment CEO and co-founder of FreshBooks was inspired to create a better way to bill clients when, in 2003, he lost an invoice by accidentally saving over it. Today FreshBooks for iOS has more than 5 million users and is a powerful tool for small businesses that are ready to take advantage of cloud computing. FreshBooks provides a better way to take control of finances with the ability to create and manage invoices, estimates, expenses and projects all in one place.
Developed by Toronto-based 2ndSite, FreshBooks provides an instant service for logging expenses and submitting receipts directly from a restaurant, airport or anywhere at all.
Features include taking photos of expense receipts and attaching them to invoices, viewing time sheets for projects and checking the status of receivables. Project invitations can be sent to staff and subcontractors to log work hours. Time sheets can be viewed on a single combined calendar and filtered by specific projects. FreshBooks also can be used offline and accounts will be automatically synced when they have connectivity again.
FreshBooks also has an API to let third-party developers expand and build on the platform; more than 70 app developers have already done so, including Basecamp, Google Apps, Shopify, Zendesk and Constant Contact. After a 30-day free trial, FreshBooks paid packages start at $19.95/month.
