Peder Balke
|Peder Balke
|Peder Andersen
4 November 1804
Helgøya, Norway
|5 February 1887(aged 82)
|Royal Swedish Academy of Arts
|Known for
Peder Balke (November 4, 1804 – February 5, 1887) was a Norwegian painter. He is known for portraying the landscape of Norway in a romantic and dramatic manner. He was also active in the field of social justice.
Peter Andersen was born on the island of Helgøya, in Hedmark county, Norway. He grew up in Ringsaker, but lived in the 1820s on the Balke farm in Toten in Oppland county. Farmers in Toten paid for his education, and he decorated several farms in Toten in return. They actively encouraged his painting activities and later supported him in obtaining higher education.
In the autumn of 1827, Balke served as an apprentice to Heinrich August Grosch. He was also a student at the Tegneskole under Grosch and Jacob Munch. Balke signed a two-year contract as an apprentice to the Danish decorator and artist Jens Funch. From autumn 1829 to spring 1833, he was a pupil of Carl Johan Fahlcrantz at the art academy in Stockholm. Balke was also a pupil of Johan Christian Dahl from 1843 to 1844.
During the summer of 1830 he walked through Telemark, Rjukan, Vestfjorddalen through Røldal and Kinsarvik to the city of Bergen, and then back through Vossevangen to Gudvangen, further over Filefjell to Valdres and then across the mountains to Hallingdal. Along the way, he painted and drew small sketches that were later developed into paintings. He also traveled to Germany, and Russia. He visited Paris and London.
In Stockholm, he completed several of the paintings he had outlined on his 1832 Finnmark tour. Some of these were sold to the royal family. In 1846 he sold thirty of his paintings to Louis Philippe I of France for the Versailles. Besides the 17 paintings in the National Gallery in Oslo, Peder Balke is also represented at several major art collections in Norway and Sweden.[1]
The National Gallery in London organized the greatest display of his work in the UK, a collection of over 50 paintings, from public and private collections in November 2014 - April 2015.[1]
Personal life[edit]
He was married in 1834 to Karen Eriksdatter Strand. He was engaged in social questions and organized the construction of Balkeby, a new part of Oslo, with improved living conditions for workers. He also advocated grants for artists and pensions for men and women. He is the great-grandfather of Turid Balke and great-great-grandfather of Jon Balke.
Peder Balke purchased parcels of the historic Nedre Blindern farm between 1858 and 1876. The Balke association organized the suburb. Plot buyers could borrow money from Balke and construct the building themselves. By 1865, there were 300 people in Balkeby and the area was relatively well populated by workers. Eventually they took in lodgers, so that the population increased.
Balkeby provided an opportunity for a population to have their own home within a reasonable distance from the city, especially after the horse trams came in 1875. In 1878, when the area was incorporated into the city of Oslo, about 1100 people lived there. Balke had set up strict rules for construction, including the planning of wide streets to prevent the spreading of fire. However, on 13 June 1879, many of the houses in Balkeby burned to the ground.
The former Balkeby suburb was located northeast of what is today Oslo's main shopping street Bogstadveien in Majorstuen and Hegdehaugen neighbourhoods in the Frogner district of Oslo.[2]

Never a mansion, Reveille is beautiful only because of its simplicity and its lovely garden; its best architectural feature being the wide hall and the delicate tracery at the end of the steps.
Agecroft Hall
Four thousand miles from its original site on the bank of the Irwell, in Lancashire, England, stands historic Agecroft Hall, one of the most distinguished relics of mediaeval England.
Virginia House
On May 31, 1929, Virginia House was conveyed to the Virginia Historical Society by Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Weddell who retained a life interest therein.

Twenty miles north of Richmond and five miles east of Ashland, in Hanover County, is the old Virginia plantation known as Hickory Hill.
Brook Hill
Brook Hill lies on both sides of the Brook Turnpike, where the road is shaded by noble cedars, and extends southwardly about a mile.

Bremo Recess
Among the many beautiful and historic homes and gardens is that of Bremo Recess, built about 1812 by General John Hartwell Cocke.
The mansion at Bremo was built by General John Hartwell Cocke during a period of several years, ending in 1819, under conditions which made possible its exceptional design and execution.
SHIRLEY, one of the oldest and loveliest of the James River homes, is located just above the point where the Appomattox River enters the James.

5 ways to cut college costs
Posted: 2014-04-30
College funds arent just for the wealthy. In fact, according to Sallie Maes How America Saves for College 2014, families with a household income less than $100,000 are more likely to feel that college is an investment in their childrens future than those who earn more. These families are also more willing to make the financial sacrifices necessary in order to pay for college.
However, because of reasons like higher costs of living, unexpected expenses and reduced earnings, some families are saving less than in previous years. Many assume that their children will qualify for financial aid to pay for the costs. While many low-income families will qualify for grants to cover costs of tuition and fees, they are still left to pay for things like room and board on their own. According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, even families in the bottom 25% income levels end up with a hefty bill north of $10,000.
Estimate your financial aid eligibility.
The last thing you want is to have your child graduate burdened with student loans. Here are five ways anyone can put away extra money for college, regardless of income:
1. Make room in your budget and commit to a monthly goal.
Take a good look at your monthly expenses. Is there anywhere you might be able to cut back? Common culprits are usually dining out, gym memberships and cable and wireless bills. You dont have to go cold turkey, even a small sacrifice here and there can add up. Try to find an extra $25, $50 or even $100 a month to get started.
Once you are comfortable with an amount, treat deposits as a regular monthly bill. Consider setting up a 529 college savings plan with automatic contributions. Not only will this help you commit to your goal, but you will also be eligible for federal tax savings that will help boost your account value over time.

Ex-Skiatook superintendent, OKC businessman plead guilty in federal court to conspiracy
TULSA - A former Skiatook superintendent and an Oklahoma City businessman have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and fraud in federal court.
From around 2004 to 2010, former Skiatook Public Schools superintendent Gary Johnson did business with Rick Enos in exchange for "cash, tickets to college football games, and the costs of travel, food, lodging, and entertainment," according to court documents.
Johnson, employed with Skiatook from 2001 to 2010, gave Enos his school's business despite enormously inflated prices, sometimes reaching 400 percent above market value.
The scheme was discovered when an audit found the school district had been overcharged more than $570,000 for janitorial supplies and security equipment by a company owned by Enos.
Johnson and Enos already pleaded guilty to state charges. In July, a judge ordered Johnson and Enos to pay $657,197.21 back to the school district.
Because Skiatook receives on average more than $10,000 in federal grants and assistance every year, a federal indictment followed.
The pair formally pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and to corruptly solicit, accept, give and offer things of value" in a Tulsa federal court Friday.
The charge carries with it up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is expected Feb. 7.

The "peaceful and disciplined" protesters in Manhattan.
9:15 PM, Aug 30, 2004 • By THE SCRAPBOOK
THE SCRAPBOOK congratulates the organizers of Sunday's omnibus anti-Bush march for their spectacular success in persuading major print and broadcast outlets to describe the protesters as "peaceful and disciplined" for the most part.
THE SCRAPBOOK also congratulates the New York City Police Department for the series of highly informative convention-related press statements it's been releasing since late last week-which together make the PR success of the protest organizers seem all the more spectacular. "Peaceful and disciplined," they call this?
THURSDAY, AUGUST 26. Total arrests: 22. For instance: "At 8:38 a.m., officers from the Midtown North Precinct responded to individuals who had suspended themselves from the Plaza Hotel which is located at 5th Avenue and Central Park South. The suspects were attempting to hang a protest banner. Officers arrested the duo and also arrested two other suspects who were helping them from the roof of the building. During the course of the operation, a sergeant from Midtown North sustained a severe leg injury and was taken to Bellevue. The arrested were charged with assault. . . . At 5:25, an individual who had been speaking for the group was arrested for criminal facilitation."
FRIDAY, AUGUST 27. Total arrests: 264, each involving a "mass bike demonstration" Friday evening.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 28. Total arrests as of 6 p.m.: 25.
SUNDAY AUGUST 29. "Approximately 253 arrests were made, including nine for felony assault on police officers who attempted to arrest a 10th individual charged with arson. . . . The persons arrested had secreted road flare-like smoke bombs and ball bearings inside cardboard poles that were authorized for signs. The same 'Black Block' group hurled police barriers into police lines at 34th and 6th. Others threw bottles. A police officer was hospitalized at St. Vincent's hospital after being struck above the left eye with a projectile. In addition, one of the police officers involved effecting the arson arrest received 3rd degree burns to his hand. . . ."
Cumulative number of convention-related arrests made by the New York City police department even before the opening gavel had swung: 547.

For many of us baby boomers, being able to ride down the rode in a nice car on a sunny afternoon listening to the Stones play "Satisfaction" is pretty good stuff. Even better, we might be able to take a trail ride on our ATV while listening to the same song on our IPOD.
But David Bonderman, a Texas born, $3.5 billion buyout equity king, wouldn't want you to do that. He'd apparently like us all to put our little machines in a garage somewhere and forget they ever existed. That's because with his money he can do things like spend $7 million on his own 60th birthday party at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel where the Rolling Stones played for he and his guests live while Robin Williams hosted the show.
Regardless of their roots, most billionaires could care less about common people.
Bonderman, who apparently has an affinity for making money, listening to rock and roll and supporting such groups as the Wilderness Society, the Grand Canyon Trust, the World Wildlife Fund traveled to Moab a few weeks ago, taking with him another billionaire named Jon Huntsman who consequently insulted the over 80 percent of Utahns who own ATV's or dirt bikes.
The man we elected to protect and defend his constituency and their way of life called some areas around Moab that have been used by ATV's, jeeps and motorcycles for recreation an "embarrassment" to the state and an "abomination."
While there are places in the state where off road vehicles have caused damage, calling anyplace in Utah where off road people ride an abomination is just plain out of touch with what most of his constituents think.
I don't know what caused him to do this. He is usually a man who chooses his words carefully. Maybe it was traveling under the influence of one of the biggest money pockets behind the Southern Utah Wilderness Allilance on the trip he was referring to, or just maybe he is feeling invulnerable to public opinion because his approval ratings are so high and, based on polls that have been done, he believes he will win this falls election by a landslide.
But the people in this state need to let him know that just because he feels like Superman, doesn't mean there isn't some Kryptonite laying around the corner if he takes the wrong path. And taking a strong stance against off-road vehicles like he did could lead him right to the Phantom Zone.
The governor, who is a dirt biker himself, just looked like he was pandering to the environmental crowd with the statement. And I use the term dirt biker lightly, because you see he only rides on motocross tracks, never on open public land or on slick rock like many of us. So as far as I am concerned his motocross only experience is no credential for knowing what the hell he is talking about.
Consequently he asked that state officials are going to get tough on lawbreakers. Good. I have no problem with that and neither does most of the other riders I know. We all want to keep good relations with the state and in fact organizations like USA-ALL (Utah Shared Access Alliance) support keeping people on trails. That organization spends a lot of time educating people about this very thing; they also have groups that help build trails and repair damage.
USA-All has also repeatedly invited Huntsman to go on similar trips to look at the countryside, but he has ignored their invitations. I guess it's a lot more fun going with a billionaire.
But if we are going to discuss some abominations, let's talk about some others that government (and some other groups) are certainly a responsible a part of.
â¢Drive up Skyline Drive and look down on Blacks Canyon. There is hardly a tree alive below you for miles. Pines have succumbed to the power of drought and beetles and their stalks stand as shadows of the past. A fire that starts here will rage and burn into forests that are still alive but barely making it. Yet we can't have these dead trees cut down because environmentalists have stopped the forest service from doing that kind of logging.
â¢Highway 6 still continues to kill people every year. The record has gotten better since UDOT signage was put up a few years ago and they have been repairing the road and expanding it with what scraps of money they have been thrown by a legislature that is more interested in saving our morals instead of our lives.
â¢The state could help to build a good road up Nine Mile Canyon or could construct another way for gas exploration and maintenance vehicles to get into the West Tavaputs Plateau thus taking away the possibility of damage to antiquities. But instead it gathers in the money for the minerals produced and spends it in other ways like outlawing alchopops from grocery stores and defending stupid laws that the legislature makes in court.
â¢Each year jails around this state turn bad guys back out into the street rather than incarcerating them. Why? Because they don't have enough money to make room for them. Talk about an abomination.
â¢No rich people cried when billionaire himself Earl Holding destroyed Snow Basin by building a resort that continues to expand and expand. This is a development that took away fabulous hiking trails, a rich and lovely public campground and other natural beauty near the Ogden Valley, so the rich can have big houses nestled in a mountain valley and wealthy skiers can dine on the top of the mountain on crab and prime rib. Anyone really interested in "nature" surely should have said and done something about that. But the Olympics were coming, and dollar signs were in the eyes of the millionaires and billionaires who love these kinds of mountain stripping, erosion causing, pollution making developments.
I could go on and on. There are a lot of things more serious than some off road damage to areas near Moab that should concern the governor, but then they don't have billionaire champions on their side either.
Note that when this kind of crap gets stirred up it is usually started by someone or some group that is mostly from out-of-state, who thinks we in rural Utah should all live the way they want us to; hoveled in our little town enclaves, watching their super sports channels and not venturing forth to explore what they want as their kings forest preserve.
Special interests and the extreme rich have almost ruined this country. They are making us a second rate power, they have bankrupted our economy and now they want to put all of us in our place.
Isn't it time we said no?

Forgotten Victorian
Why the best of Gissing is worth rereading.
Jun 20, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 38 • By JONATHAN LEAF
Not so long ago, Charles Dickens was the 19th-century British novelist. The others—Austen, the Brontë sisters, Eliot, Thackeray, Trollope, Hardy—were his contemporaries and predecessors and successors and rivals. They were judged against him and considered in his light. In the view of Edmund Wilson, Dickens was "the greatest writer of his time."
George Gissing, 1890
Hulton Archive / Getty Images
Then something happened. The population of critics ceased being so exclusively composed of sensitive, liberal men who'd survived difficult childhoods. Feminist critics emerged, along with Marxists. Warm-hearted depictions of the family were judged to be dated and passé, and sentimental humor was written off as the province of television. Female critics, it turned out, were vexed by the absence of sympathetic adult women in Dickens's novels, while female readers balked at his lack of romance and glamor, qualities more often encountered in Austen, Thackeray, and Trollope.
What this ongoing shift in taste and sensibility has not done is increase the degree of attention given to a Victorian author who, at his best, wrote with as much understanding and insight about women as Jane Austen, and as much knowledge of politics and commerce as Anthony Trollope: George Gissing (1857-1903).
Indeed, even those who praise Gissing present him as an important writer for his time, a significant contemporary to his friendly rivals Thomas Hardy and George Meredith, or a useful source of information about everyday life in late Victorian London.
Gissing is much more. This is not to say that the bulk of his vast output remains worth reading. All but a few of Gissing's 23 novels are marred by his misanthropy, bile that caused him to present people so unflatteringly as to prompt us to wonder why we should care about them. An instance of the trouble may be found in this passage from his intermittently excellent 1894 novel In the Year of Jubilee, describing the breakfast greeting of three sisters:
Gissing had a hard life, and most of his books show his consequent bitterness and scorn. Raised in northern England without a father, he had scored twelfth in the country on a national exam and received a scholarship to the then-recently opened Owens College, what would later become Manchester University. This Gissing managed to lose when caught stealing from another student. The thefts had been meant to support a prostitute with whom he had become involved; just 18, he was sent to do hard labor. Once released, he soon compounded the error by marrying the slattern, who, needless to say, proved less than adequate as a wife. They were estranged and after her death, Gissing married a woman he had picked up on a London street. His second wife eventually had to be institutionalized.
In light of this, it may not be surprising that Gissing's derisiveness extended, at times, to himself. Regrettably, it irreparably harms his 1892 novel Born in Exile. The main character, a closet atheist who pursues a career as a minister for both economic and romantic reasons, is plainly a projection of the author—but such an unromantic projection that it nearly kills a highly imagined and often suspenseful novel.
A further problem with some of Gissing's work is that he was forced by money worries to compose his "triple-decker" novels at high speed. Thus, since he was determined to adhere to strict realism and not rely on the use of melodrama, he was left with little time to conceive dramatic opening scenes or introductions, and too often he winds up telling us rather than showing us. It is this that puts most readers off from his fascinating and compassionate depiction of the difficulties of unmarried women of his day, The Odd Women.

Yesterday my beloved husband said this when he took the Oath of Allegiance and became a citizen. After many years, thousands of dollars spent and miles travelled, reams of paperwork, and countless hours of waiting, he finally reached that moment he's been dreaming of since he was a child in his native Brazil.
Conversely, on June 15th Barak Obama unconstitutionally decreed that 800 thousand illegal youth will be granted legal working status. He said these are just hard-working, patriotic people. HOW DOES HE KNOW? How does he know that they or the estimated 12-20 million illegals are here in good faith, for the right reasons? How does he know whether each one of those millions is criminal or lawful?
Of course, HE DOESN'T. They haven't been interviewed and vetted. Neither their stories, nor their countries of origin, nor their reasons for being here have been recorded. One thing we do know. Their first act in our country was to break our laws. By coming here illegally they set themselves their children up for insecurity and failure, unlike the millions of legal immigrants who respected our laws so that they could be protected by our laws.
Meanwhile, our border agents are being instructed not to do their jobs as border agents. In fact they are now instructed to run away. We know about catch-and-release under which law enforcement officers who arrest illegal criminals even for violent crimes are being told to release them for such reasons as "He says he's getting a GED."
The more our laws are ignored, the longer our laws go unenforced, the more lawless we become. A lawless country cannot and does not protect and guarantee the rights of the people. It moves according to the will and whim of the powerful.
It's interesting to note that immigrants who came from despotic or communist countries tell me they recognize that that's where this country is heading. Action by action, whether it's ignoring illegal immigration, NDAA, Obamacare, Fast & Furious, Solyndra and the rest, we are becoming like the poor & corrupt countries from which they fled. Through our lack of border control and immigration law enforcement we are losing the importance and meaning of American citizenship.
Immigrants past and present did not come here to find a country like their own. They came to find one better, safer, and with more opportunity than you can shake a stick at. They came to escape poverty, tyranny and corruption, where their rights would be guaranteed and protected.
Every country across the globe exercises strict protection of its borders. In some countries you're simply shot for trespassing the border. Travelers and citizens alike are required to carry identifying documentation, and interestingly your religion is part of that documentation. It is a difficult and long process to become a citizen of any country. And yet here in America we're being told that we are somehow against immigrants simply because we want to enforce the laws under which everyone, immigrants included, want and need to be protected.
But we know this tactic. It's subterfuge designed to shut us up quickly, just like all the baseless charges of racism so prevalent in our politics today.
They hope to shout us down and shut us up, and a lot of people including politicians on both sides of the isle are succumbing. Both parties benefit from illegal immigration, whether the prize is a new voting bloc, cheap labor, or both. So on one side are the timid who are paralyzed with fear of being called a name, and on the other side those driven by money and political expediency.
That's why We the People put this together.
You may have seen Civitas's video detailing voter fraud in North Carolina after the in which people were rejected because they weren't citizens, and yet many of those same illegals were registered to vote.
That's why we created iiimpact on this subject. It started out with two of us taking about the fact that if our VOTES ARE NULLIFIED, our SOVEREIGNTY is gone. Elections won't matter and we have already lost.
Iiimpact is a bipartisan event. Why? Because an illegal drunk driver who kills a citizen does not distinguish whether his victim was a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative. The billions of taxpayer spent supporting illegal immigrants in our hospitals, schools, welfare and social security come from both Democrats and Republicans. Political affiliation is irrelevant to the victim who is assaulted by the violent criminal who was caught and released because of our spineless and corrupt so-called department of homeland "SECURITY." This is a bipartisan issue.
Iiimpact is a testament to what is POSSIBLE here in our beloved democratic republic. It's a testament to the Potential of everyday citizens to lawfully affect change for the better in our country. This isn't possible in so many countries. IT'S UP TO US.

Steps Without Footprints
By: Steve Herman
Posted: December 9, 2009, from the December 2009 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 2 of 4
One way the industry can lessen its impact, and which illustrates the potential of small changes, was provided by T. J. Lin—a regular contributor to GCI magazine's sister publication, Cosmetics & Toiletries magazine—years ago: low-energy emulsification. Something as simple as heating less water to make an emulsion contributes directly to reducing the carbon footprint of manufacturing. From his first publication in 19782 to a paper delivered at the 2009 Society of Cosmetic Chemists annual scientific meeting, Lin has been a pioneer on advocating environmental awareness in emulsification processes.
Industry Efforts
Counting carbons is a broad-brush way to quantify the sustainability of personal care chemicals. Many companies have a version of this procedure. Stepan, for example, calls its version the "biorenewable carbon index." It is the biorenewable carbon divided by the total carbon expressed as a percentage. But more than carbon atoms are at stake in the beauty industry. Croda, for its part, has installed a wind turbine at its Hull, U.K., site.
Packaging is a major focus for environmentalists. The basic premise is "less is better," and whatever packaging there is should at least be recyclable or biodegradable. Some new materials, such as Ingeo from Natureworks and Mirel from Telles, can be composted. The industry is off to a good start in environmentally friendly packaging, but there are still challenges. For example, Mirel's Web site (www.mirelplastics.com) offers this statement: "The rate and extent of Mirel's biodegradability will depend on the size and shape of the articles made from it. Mirel is not designed to effectively degrade in landfills. Industrial composting facilities may not be available in your geographic area."
The GoodGuide evaluation of cosmetic products at www.goodguide.com offers an outline of what consumer groups are now looking for in products and the companies that manufacture them. One of their highest-rated skin care products is Dr. Bronner's Patchouli Lime Organic Lotion. A GoodGuide rating of 8.6 is a combination of a health rating of 10, environmental rating of 7.6 and society rating of 8.4.
There are extensive details on the GoodGuide rating, and a shortened form of the social and environmental ratings are shown in this column's sidebar, and the areas included are indicative of how deeply consumers are now willing to delve into the ethical and eco leanings of a company. Once upon a time, a company had to be caught importing from a sweatshop using child labor to get bad press; now, philanthropy and community engagement are scored and posted online.

Paid Off: Ford Repays $4 Billion Debt to UAW Ahead of Schedule
ditto to deerefan87's questions.if it's in the next james bond movie, i called it lol.
I wonder how the pilot (driver?) switches between road and air modes. Is it a simple button that can be engaged on-the-go, or do you have to stop and fold the wings manually? Also, how does the driver switch power from the wheels to the prop? Does this use a PTO or something like it?
OMG! People are too stupid to drive and that only requires movement in 2 dimensions. You throw in a third dimension and you have a recipe for disaster.
should I expect more crash landing in the future? :cool:
It's ugly as hell but this is a very awesome concept. It would be great if vehicles like this were mass produced one day.
lmao can you imagine the look on someone's face when you land this thing on the freeway and just keep cruising in car mode? Hahahahaha. The pants have been shat.
Be aware that they prefer to call it "roadable aircraft" for a reason. The car part is just enough to get you to the nearest airport. Of course, the person will have to know how to fly then, so I don't think that safety in the air will be that big of an issue.
Truly an amazing accomplishment, and something I honestly didn't think would happen in my lifetime, even though the idea goes way back, but come on people!!! We deal with enough distracted/idiotic people driving on the ground that we're now gonna allow them to take to the sky!? :confused: Just wait till the first accident happens while the piolt/driver is, lets say, stressed out,over tired, texting/talking on their phone, smacks into a bird and crash lands on a house....Then what...It may be 2010, but this isn't the land of "Back to the Future2" or "The Jettsons"
That's probably the coolest thing ever. When I hit it big, I'm getting one.

NEW YORK –– After losing to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night, a banged-up Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks stumbled into the All-Star break having lost three of their last four games.
Anthony may have to sit out Sunday's All-Star Game in Houston after suffering what he called a "deep contusion" to his right biceps after taking an elbow from Demar DeRozan in the first quarter.
"I'm not going to force it, definitely not going to force it," Anthony said. "As bad as I would want to play in the All-Star Game, participate, if I can't go, I can't go. Nothing I can do about that."

another hepatitis vaccine in what year ?
Jun 30, 2010
helo Dr; please do not mind my english but i do believe you could understand,.though i'll get my last shot of hepatitis vaccines next month 27july to complete for three doses.so my question is ,how long could i re-take it again ,10yrs or 20yrs ?please your explaination will be appreciate.san
Response from Dr. McGovern
I assume that you are talking about hepatitis B vaccine. If you are taking your vaccine now, there is no need to take it again, unless you have an ongoing risk of getting infected, such as having sex with a person with chronic HBV infection. In these cases, we do periodically check your HB surface antibodies to see if you need a "booster" (eg, one shot) to boost your immune responses.

After I see my husband off to work and attend to all the responsibilities of animal care, feeding myself, and setting the house to rights, I turn my thoughts to my work. That's what I consider the time I devote in my studio each day to creative pursuits.
What might be considered play or trivial by some is Research and Development to me. Okay...it's play. *grin* I sort through and process photographs, write blog posts, and lately, I sit with my rainbow assortment of watercolour pencils and create illustrations. Some good. Some bad. All valuable.
I've gradually established a routine that takes advantage of my body's natural energy levels and the sun's track across the sky.
I've eased into a natural rhythm, incorporating ritual, that serves as a passage from one frame of mind to another. I begin by making a cup of my favourite Earl Gray green tea and it signals a softening around the edges of my busy mind. The transition continues as I rise the steps that lead to my studio and sit at my desk. Music set low in the background to match my mood - classical, jazz, blues. Before I turn to the tools of my craft, I light a soy candle lightly scented with vanilla and the process is complete, my mind is calm, I can begin.
There is one other thing that occurs. Every time I sit down at my desk and before I can focus on my current project, Luna demands an audience. She jumps up on the surface of my desk and monopolizes my attention. She alternately marks the corner of my computer with her cheek, chins my pen, bumps the hand that's holding my tea, and generally puts herself smack dab in the middle of the action.
What about you? Do you have a series of things you do to prepare for your best work? I'd love to hear.
These original watercolour illustrations are available to purchase here.

How to Contact 23andMe Customer Support
23andMe Changes
23andMe has made their helpdesk almost impossible to contact. You have to search through the site with a fine-toothed comb to find the new "Customer Care" center. Not only that, but you have to fit your request into one of the categories –many problems are NOT covered by a category they have listed and there's no 'general' category.
They have made it damn near impossible to contact them and even harder to figure out how to contact them. Here is how to do it:
Link to 23andMe's Contact Form
Click on the link below to go to the contact form:
It is hidden under Help (upper right-hand portion of the screen on 23andMe next to 'Account'), FAQ, Before I Buy, "How do I contact 23andMe Customer Care?" In the answer to how you contact them, there's a link hidden in the text for "Ask Customer Care". Clicking that link brings up the above form. They then say that they will take six days to get back to you. I've found that if there is a disruptive issue, they get back to you quickly. Anything else is often longer than six days. It is INSANE how much they clearly do not care about the customer — once they have your money — to have hidden this information so well. They also disabled the helpdesk@23andMe email account.
This is one of the main reasons that I now recommend Ancestry.com for anyone testing for other than medical reasons. 23andMe has advantages but making customers feel appreciated — once they get your money — isn't one of them.
I want to mention that I think the community managers, Christine and Mike, do a great job. The problems lie elsewhere.

Persons unknown have carried out a suicide bombing — against a hospital in Afghanistan. A suicide bomber "rammed an SUV packed with explosives into a local hospital in the Azra district in Logar just before noon today" according to Bill Roggio. killing 60 patients and doctors, including women and children.
The Edge of the City
Back to the Hub
Despite being one the world's most wanted men, the bearded fugitive hid in plain sight for a long time in a single location. A member of a prominent political family, he was rumored to have ties with a powerful intelligence agency that protected him. When an elite raiding team finally caught up with him, he wasn't living in a rural hideout but in an upscale residential area of a major city. No, this thread is not about the raid on Osama Bin Laden, it is about the arrest of Whitey Bulger.
On June 22, 2011, he was arrested at the apartment he had lived in for fifteen years in Santa Monica, California, along with his girlfriend Catherine Greig. He was 81 years old at the time of his arrest, and supposedly in poor health. Bulger and Greig were quickly extradited back to Massachusetts and were brought under heavy guard to the waterfront federal courthouse in Boston, necessitating the closing of part of Boston Harbor.
Three great 20th century nations at their ceremonial best can be seen after the More.
Ritual is by nature incomprehensible to outsiders yet deeply meaningful to the insiders; it serves to express the group spiritually, morally or socially. It is a demonstration of belonging "of respect or submission … affiliation … social acceptance or approval for some event." At the height of its potency national symbols do not have to be explained. Everybody gets it. But in dying civilizations ceremony finally becomes an quaint entertainment whose origins nobody can quite place. Even after a nation has died its ceremonies may still be re-enacted to satisfy the curiosity of its successors. But while a country still lives in spirit, ceremonies are a kind of inside baseball, a running commentary that everybody who should understand gets right off the bat.
"The Way Forward"
President Barack Obama has begun the process of withdrawal from Afghanistan, an undertaking he called the War of Necessity in 2009. Then the need to win in Afghanistan made it imperative to draw down in Iraq. President Obama said, "by moving forward in Iraq, we're able to refocus on the war against al Qaeda and its extremist allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan". Now the need to "focus on nation building at home" makes it necessary to withdraw from Afghanistan.
The "S" Factor
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke confessed he was puzzled by the economy's weakness, "admitting that the recovery was weaker than expected and that beyond temporary factors like supply chain disruptions in Japan and high energy prices, he was at a loss as to what was causing the soft patch." The Soft Patch Spring of 2011 follows the Summer Swoon of 2010, according to a Credit Suisse analysis.
Concerns about a soft patch in the economy are intensifying, and with good reason. Payroll growth stumbled badly last month, and the ISM Manufacturing Index fell sharply. First quarter GDP was soft and recent figures raise doubt about a widely forecasted Q2 rebound. The stutter in the economic data is reminiscent of last summer's "double-dip" scare, which, in hindsight, turned out to be a garden-variety growth slowdown.
… The current slowdown, as of now, appears less dangerous than the one that we experienced in the summer of 2010. Financial conditions are more supportive of growth than they were a year ago. Consumer sentiment is higher. The labor market is on firmer footing, despite last month's jobs disappointment. Retail demand is trending at a faster clip. Household wealth is higher. An extra year of economic growth, profits, retained earnings, and cash holdings has added a layer of insulation for the corporate sector, which makes it better able to withstand the occasional cooling in final demand.
The Hierophant in the Living Room
In 2005 "the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations University declared that 50 million people could become environmental refugees by 2010, fleeing the effects of climate change." Three years later, the President of the General Assembly repeated the warning that disaster was right around the corner.
In 2008, Srgjan Kerim, president of the UN General Assembly, said it had been estimated that there would be between 50 million and 200 million environmental migrants by 2010. A UNEP web page showed a map of regions where people were likely to be displaced by the ravages of global warming. It has recently been taken offline but is still visible in a Google cache.
These are just some of remnants of a whole industry that had grown up around preparing for doomsday. And what a doomsday it was! With victims in the tens of millions and special new terminology all of its own.
The Continuing Present
James A. Johnson (born December 24, 1943) is a United States Democratic Party political figure. He was the campaign manager for Walter Mondale's failed 1984 presidential bid and chaired the vice presidential selection committee for the presidential campaign of John Kerry. He was involved in the vice-presidential selection process for the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama.
He was also the Chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson is in the news again because of Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner's book, Reckless Endangerment. An excerpt from her book says:
One More Time
Greece will need 110 billion Euros, an amount nearly equal to its bailout package last year, to make it through this one.
The admission, after weeks of speculation over the size of the package, highlighted the parlous state of the country's economy despite receiving regular cash injections from the €110bn rescue agreed last May, the biggest bailout in western history. Athens's debt, which stood at €340bn in December, was estimated to have exceeded €355bn, the equivalent of 150% of GDP, in April. By comparison, the government's annual income is almost one-tenth of that, at around €40bn. …
"An independent agency where Democrats currently hold a majority"
The political controversy over whether Boeing illegally built a second 787 Dreamliner assemblyline in South Carolina continues to grow. ABC News says "A U.S. House committee takes to the road today for a politically charged field hearing in North Charleston, S.C., to determine whether the Boeing Co. violated labor laws by moving an assembly operation from Washington State to South Carolina." It quotes a union spokesman as saying that the Republicans are exploiting the issue for political ends.
Un Belli Di
Jack Balkin, writing in Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, described reality from a legal point of view, which is vital in understanding Libya.
In fact, one of the most interesting features of law as a system of social conventions is its ability to make things true or, to put it another way, to create legal categories that permit characterizations of situations and practices that are true or false. My point, however, is not simply that propositions of law are true in virtue of legal conventions. It is rather that law creates truth– it makes things true as a matter of law. It makes things true in the eyes of the law. And when law makes things true in its own eyes, this has important consequences in the world.
Consider, for example, the common law distinction between trespassers, licensees, and invitees. Landowners have different tort duties toward people who trespass on their property, enter their property for business reasons, or visit as invited social guests. Simply by making these distinctions, the common law makes it possible for it to be true or not true that a person is a trespasser, licensee or invitee.
So what has that got to do with Libya? This: the New York Times reports that President Obama overruled the view of two his top lawyers that the "kinetic military events in Libya" amounted to hostilities. According to the President, there is "no war" in Libya? What they are arguing about is the legal truth.

- Interact with friends much more easier
These are all important in something such as Kik Finder. The reason why is because there are other apps or websites out there that may not be conducive with what a person may be looking for at that very moment. There are so many options and ways to talk to people in this day and age that there is no need to stress about anymore. Kik Finder is just one of those things that you need to compliment your Kik app. Honestly, it's almost like the icing on the top of a delicious dessert.
You can have the dessert without the topping but it won't taste the same. It may either be bland or worse in taste. But enough about that. This is about the Kik Finder. Without Kik Finder, you'll struggle to find your friends you want to communicate with and you'll never have a decent experience with the Kik app. I'm not saying the Kik app is bad at all. Far from the fact! As a matter of fact, Kik is one of the most simplest; if not the simplest, social networking app out there. There are apps such as Facebook and Twitter which are just easier to use on your computer than on your cellphone. Those are just my two cents.
Now let's get to the actual process of finding friends on Kik Finder. One can find friends by going through the Kik Finder app parameters. These parameters include age, gender, interests, or date. Then you simply would just need to go through the vast number. Yes, vast number of users which currently comes up to 77,656 usernames submitted. That's an astounding number of people proving that the simplicity of Kik Finder is leading to success so far. Good for that but Kik Finder is more than just an app for finding people or your friends. It's also about connecting with people who may have the same interests which leads us to the next article. "Drumroll Please!!"

A New Model for TCP Packet Loss.
Daniel Genin and Kevin Mills
ITL/ANTD, NIST Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
TCP is the dominant protocol used in today's Internet to reliably transmit data between end-systems. Studies have shown that TCP packets account for over 80% of all Internet traffic by volume. The current version of TCP attempts to minimize congestion in and maximize utilization of a network by reducing transmission speed when packets are lost (due to buffer overflow) and increasing transmission speed when packets are delivered successfully. Because this congestion control mechanism is executed independently by all end-systems the resulting collective behavior is very hard to predict even for simple networks, let alone for the entire Internet with its thousands of routers and millions of end-systems. Nevertheless, stable and efficient operation of the Internet under increasing user and application demands depends upon thorough understanding of the network traffic dynamics.
Clearly, what is really needed are faithful and simultaneously computationally tractable mathematical models. Simulation, while permitting limited exploration of the network dynamics, cannot reveal the relationships between network parameters and quantities of interest such as throughput, packet loss, etc. In spite of the great efforts devoted to modeling network dynamics under TCP congestion control in the last 15 years the results are still very meager. For instance, there is still no mathematical model relating throughput of a TCP connection and such fundamental network parameters as bandwidth, delay, and buffer size. This unsatisfactory state of affairs is an indication of the magnitude and difficulty of the problem.
The bulk of research on the topic has focused on fluid approximation models. Fluid approximation models are continuous deterministic limits of discrete stochastic packet level models, applicable when the number of packets sent in a round trip (and hence the bandwidth-delay product) is large. A major stumbling point for the fluid approximation models is the stochastic nature of packet loss. While packet loss is sensitive to higher moments of the inter-arrival time distribution these statistics are not captured by the simplistic fluid approximation models. Consequently, since throughput of a TCP connection is essentially determined by packet loss the accuracy of equilibrium prediction of the resulting models is mediocre at best and their power of prediction of network dynamics is non-existent.
Our project focuses on understanding the relationship between packet loss and the fundamental network parameters -- bandwidth, delay and buffer size. By studying the statistics of the packet arrival process we derive a model relating packet loss to these parameters. In the future, our packet loss model should lead to more accurate models of TCP network dynamics by improving the accuracy of existing fluid approximation models.

Scouting Report
By Charlie Widdoes (Twitter)
Knicks vs. Bucks | Madison Square Garden
When: Saturday | 12:00 PM
Where to Watch: MSG
Where to Listen: ESPN 98.7 FM
Team Reports
New York (26-40): The Knicks put a five-game winning streak on the line in a rare noon tipoff today. They'll look to build on Wednesday's 24-point win in Boston, their biggest margin of victory this season, against the 13-win Bucks. The Knicks are firing on all cylinders offensively and getting contributions from the entire roster as they make their push toward the playoffs. They enter today tied with Detroit for 9th place in the Eastern Conference, 3.5 games behind the Hawks for the final playoff spot with 16 games left to play.
Milwaukee (13-52): Larry Drew's team may be collecting ping pong balls as the season nears its end, but Bucks fans have reason for optimism thanks to some of the young pieces in place. Sure, they rank 27th in offensive efficiency and dead last in defense, but the foursome of Brandon Knight (22 years old), Nate Wolters (22), Khris Middleton (22) and John Henson (23) has actually managed to outscore opponents by 7.7 points per 100 possessions when on the floor together this season.
The Numbers Game
During their five game winning streak, the Knicks are averaging a whopping 114.4 points per game.
Matchup to Watch
Carmelo Anthony vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo
As Anthony continues his stellar season for the Knicks, Antetokounmpo continues to emerge as a revelation for Milwaukee. The 19-year-old forward (currently the youngest player in the NBA) wasn't supposed to see the court this year after being drafted out of Greece's 2nd-tier professional league, but his diverse mix of skills and feel for the game forced the organization to speed up his development plan. He still has plenty of room for growth, but he uses his enormous hands and 7'3" wingspan to bother opponents and convert opportunities in the open court. He's been open about the pride he takes in guarding Melo, so we could be in for an exciting matchup this afternoon.
What to Look For
This is another crucial game for the Knicks as they fight for a playoff spot. The Bucks have played them tough in three previous matchups this season, but with the Pacers coming up next and a five-game west coast road trip looming at the end of the month, the Knicks can't afford to let up against Milwaukee....New York has been without Tyson Chandler (personal matter) for the last two games, but Cole Aldrich -- who recorded his first Knicks double-double in his first NBA start on Wednesday -- and Jeremy Tyler have stepped up in his absence...Iman Shumpert has quietly made a big difference, especially on the defensive end, as the Knicks are 11.1 points per 100 possessions better with him on the court than on the bench...Amar'e Stoudemire sat out against Boston to rest, but is expected to play today.

The Master of Engineering in Manufacturing (MEngM) degree from MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering prepares you for leadership positions in the multidisciplinary profession of manufacturing and gives you the tools to grow in this dynamic field.
The MEngM is designed to combine in-depth graduate subjects with team projects both on campus an in industry. The approach leads to what our alumni has termed "compressed" or "formalized" experience, and gives our graduates a bend of theory and practice in that unique prepares them for this most demanding field. The curriculum includes subjects in manufacturing processes and process control, factory system and supply chains, business fundamentals and the product development process. Several subject include hands-on labs, and most have significant project components. Outside of the formal classroom there are numerous activities including interactions with industry leaders, manufacturing entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. Finally, there is an 8 month long "Group Project in Industry", where each student as part of a team, works with a local manufacturing company on a problem of immediate value to the company, and that will also lead to the MEng thesis.
This synergistic combination of MIT's eminent-engineering curriculum with pragmatic time in industry, enables you to graduate in just 12 months fully prepared to be both an effective and innovative leader in the field.

Target sunnies// Seams to be snood// Max & Olivia's cross cutout sweater// Target leggings// Target flats// 7th & West banglesI wasn't too sure of this sweater when I got it in the mail. I mean, hi hello, there's a huge cross on my back. Does that seem a bit strange to anyone else? But then I realized how utterly comfy and cozy the sweater was, and how it was just the right length to wear with leggings. I also decided the cross kind of made the sweater a bit quirky so I just went with it. And ended up wearing it like, 3 days in a row. I know. Judge me all you want. I'm having a hard time concentrating on writing out this post because my sister is on her way! YAY! My sister and brother in law will be with us for a week and a half and I am SUPER excited. I miss my sister more than anyone could have told me I would have. If someone could go back and tell my 15 year old self that my big sister would some day end up being my best friend, I probably would have laughed right in their face. But apparently miracles do happen. Girls can get along. Sisters can stop fighting long enough to realize that they're best friend has been sleeping in the room (or bed) next to them all their life. And now she's finally here! EEEK!
i have been wondering the same thing about crosses in fashion! i think they look cool but idk if they are sacreligous either….the great debate lol
whateves that sweater looks awesome and comfy! love your hair too :)
Yes…your sister can be your best friend. And look like your twin, in you and Court's case. :)
You are WAY too cute for words. That sweater does look really comfy!
You are just the cutest thing! I love the cross on the back. It makes it so unique!
giveaway on my blog!

Pont Aven, Brittany, France
Domaine de Kerlann is a large and lively holiday village full of Breton charm, surrounded by woodland and ablaze with flowers. This holiday village is ideal for families and the perfect location to explore the stunning Brittany coastline.Brittany has the longest coastline in France, and many stunning beaches and seaside towns are within easy reach of Domaine de Kerlann. There are white-sand beaches, serene harbours, craggy coves, quaint fishing villages, traditional seaside resorts and frequent picnic spots to discover. Domaine de Kerlann is on the outskirts of the small port of Pont Aven, which was loved by the artist Gauguin for its pretty stone bridges, riverside glades and the watermills; the boutiques, galleries and creperies came later. Carnac is a perfect day-trip destination. It has south-facing sandy beaches and the sea is calm, plus it's the home of France's version of Stonehenge, where 3000 standing stones, some more than 20m high, have stood for more that 6,000 years in lines that stretch for miles. The medieval town of Concarneau is one of the most photographed places in Brittany and the third largest fishing port in France. The narrow streets of the "Ville Close" — the island old town — are packed with tourist shops, boutiques and creperies. Quimper, on the banks of the river Odet, is Brittany's oldest city and has a medieval quarter where you'll find charming cobbled streets, pretty boulevards and a slow pace of life. Brittany is a foodies paradise and the many 'gastronomic' specialities, from oysters to crepes should be tried. Many towns have weekly farmers markets brimming with fresh goods that you can cook and enjoy in your holiday home.

Thanks Christian. But without the pickle enhancement you created nothing could be possible. I personally think this golden nugget is not known enough by the community. BTW, do you think it could be possible ? easy ? to extract it into an extension module to the classic CPython ? A GSoC perhaps. To be complete, we are planning to add the asynchronous I/O parts to Nagare. First the HTTP requests handling which is the easier part because several implementations already exist. Then the database connexion part which is more difficult as the vast majority of the SQL drivers are coded in C and follow a blocking model. But we already have encouraging prototypes, using (a fixed) socketlibevent.py or Concurrence (http://code.google.com/p/concurrence/). Regards

Diamond in the Rough?
Alan Schechter over at The Jets Press does a nice job at taking a look at some of the lesser known prospects. Here's a piece he did on UDFA defensive tackle Damon Harrison from William Penn.
PROS:He is the size you want for a nose tackle. At 6'2″ 342, it will take hard work for two guys to block this guy, much less one. That will open up holes for others even when Damon isn't making the play. Secondly, this guy has a serious nose for the football. I read a report that said Harrison is late finding the ball, but quite frankly I don't know what they were talking about. Watch the tape, this guy is on the ball fast. He can bull rush through anybody, and doesn't miss tackles.
CONS:I'm nitpicking here now because I didn't see much. I saw he's had some knee problems, so durability has been an issue. We have to be careful because we have been there with Kris Jenkins. Other than that, his speed is a bit slow so running guys down is difficult. He also doesn't have an array of pass rush moves from what I have seen, but he doesn't necessarily need them in the middle, and the way he can bull rush, he shouldn't have a problem getting by just about anyone.
The Jets have a lot of depth on the defensive line so it might be hard for a guy like Harrison to make the team. However, he could very well push a guy like Martin Tevaseu for an end of the roster spot. There is a lot to like in his game, but Schechter didn't mention is his level of competition. That is definitely a cause for concern. In all likelihood, he will be a practice squad player, that can gain a year of experience and learn the playbook. Thus, he can come back strong next year and really push for a roster spot.
But you never know. He is a big kid and could really could end up surprising people in camp.

Salt Lake City bike cops nab suspected drug dealers
A decision by two Salt Lake City bicycle police officers to question two suspicious men led to a sizeable drug bust.
Police say the two officers approached the two suspects about 4:20 p.m. Tuesday near 2400 South and 900 East. One of the men fled on foot but was caught a short distance away.
The suspect twice adopted combative stances and refused to surrender. He eventually was subdued after a Taser was used to shock him into submission.
A subsequent search of the 20-year-old man yielded 41 balloons of cocaine, 60 balloons of heroin, and an unspecified amount of cash.
Both the 20-year-old and the second suspect, a 30-year-old male, were booked into Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of possessing controlled substances with intent to distribute.

I'm also going to be going for pre-med.
what comes around is all around
Biomedical Science. Looking to get a position at a biotech company once I graduate.

I wanted to major in Photography, but I'm not sure anymore since I know more about using a camera than my film major cousin and I've already started making money from it in less than a year. Only reason I'd do it, is to rent out the equipment. Otherwise I'll probably go into being a creative director or business major.
